Grafium vs Octodoge GitHub Companion
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Grafium
Read full descriptionHide full description
Grafium opens the dashboards and alerts from your self-hosted Grafana® on iPhone. Panels are drawn with native iOS charts, and the app only reads data: it never edits your dashboards, alert rules or server settings. • Time series, stat, gauge, bar chart, table, heatmap, logs, state timeline, geomap and other panels keep the colors, units and thresholds from the dashboard. • Change dashboard variables, pick a time range and turn on auto-refresh. • Open a panel full screen and drag across the chart to read exact values. • See firing and pending alert rules first, with their instances and labels. • Pin the dashboards you check often and search across folders. • Add several servers. Sign in with an API token, username and password, LDAP, JWT, auth proxy or SSO, or connect anonymously. Grafium has no account of its own, no tracking and no ads. Tokens and passwords stay in the iOS Keychain, and showing a saved one takes Face ID or your passcode. To look around first, tap Try Demo on the first screen. It connects to a public demo server with live dashboards and alerts. Requires Grafana 9 or later, reachable over HTTPS with a trusted certificate. Self-signed certificates are not supported.

Octodoge GitHub Companion
Read full descriptionHide full description
Octodoge GitHub Companion is a native iOS app for browsing GitHub on your iPhone — repos, profiles, commits, Issues, Pull Requests, Actions, and activity — without opening a browser. SEARCH & EXPLORE Find users and repositories, then browse branches, tags, forks, directories, and source files. Create a tag on a branch, tag, or commit. Read READMEs with rendered markdown, images, and embedded video. COMMITS & CODE View commit history, inspect changes, and read diffs in a layout built for mobile. ISSUES Open a repository’s Issues to browse open and closed issues, sort the list, and read an issue’s summary and comments. PULL REQUESTS Open a repository’s Pull Requests to browse open and closed PRs, follow the discussion, inspect commits and file diffs, and see checks. Close or reopen a pull request, and delete or restore its branch. Mark a pull request as ready or as draft, and merge when GitHub reports it clean (merge, squash, or rebase, as the repository allows). ACTIONS Open a repository’s Actions to browse workflow runs, filter by workflow and status, then drill into jobs, steps, and logs. Re-run or cancel a run, and open prior attempts. STARRED Open Starred to browse every repository you’ve starred, then jump into code, Issues, Pull Requests, and Actions. STAY UP TO DATE Your News Feed shows recent GitHub activity from people and repositories you follow. Filter events to focus on what matters. YOUR PROFILE Sign in with GitHub to see your public and private repositories, follow or unfollow users, and star or unstar repos. Create a repository with a name, description, private or public visibility, and an optional README. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Octodoge uses GitHub OAuth. Your access token is stored in the iOS Keychain on your device. The app talks directly to the GitHub API — there is no Octodoge backend collecting your data. Octodoge is not affiliated with GitHub, Inc.
