I needed a way to check my pipelines, merge requests, and issues in my organization's GitLab instance, but couldn't authenticate using a physical token on my iPhone. So I made PipeChecker. Utilizing their extensive API documentation your phone can now act like any other IDE and access the instance using your personal access token. By inputting the base URL and your personal access token you can conveniently check on your GitLab-hosted assets. Terms of use: https://www.pilkfam.com/lukepilkappsupport/lukepilkapps_eula
