Watch your GitHub Actions, with a concise overview of recent results and the ability to jump directly to test failures. - Watches up to 3 public GitHub repos without a subscription. - With a monthly or yearly subscription, you may add personal access tokens and follow as many public or private repos as you wish. - Conservatively allocates requests to ensure that GitHub's API request limits are never exceeded. Without an active subscription, Test Reflector watches up to 3 public GitHub repositories. Adding a monthly or annual subscription unlocks the ability to add personal access tokens, allowing the app to track private repositories as well as to check more frequently for updates. Note: the easiest way to get tokens into iOS at the moment is to use the Universal Clipboard with Continuity from Mac desktop or laptop computer. In the future we may add quicker ways to generate tokens from the app, but for now we're starting with simpler and more manual workflows.

Ship allows you code from your phone! Simply choose the repository you'd like to edit, then prompt our Custom Language Model System (link below) with a task, changes, or a question regarding the selected Github Repository. Then just watch as we handle the rest! The changes are made on a new branch so as to not interfere with your current set up, but you can push these changes directly through the app. We prioritized making Non-destructive changes to your Repos by having our agent push its changes to a new branch, specified by the current date. We also allow you to select an existing repo to build on top of an existing project. We're going to be quickly adding features and want to open source our Language Model System backend in order to allow you to easily customize your own system which can do much more than just coding through an integration store! This is the first AI Powered application that allows you to edit existing GitHub Repositories from your phone! Other Features: - You can view the code within the repository that you're working with by selecting the 'Code' icon in the top right of your Chat View. - Open Sourced Language Model System: https://github.com/LMSystems-ai/Github-Agent so you can create your own branch of our coding agent and try it out yourself! If you create something cool, we'll add it to the app and let you have access for free! Terms of Service: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
