iTea vs GitBoba

iTea is a fast, native client for self-hosted Gitea (and Forgejo) instances. Browse repositories, manage issues and pull requests, and stay on top of notifications — all from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. FEATURES • Browse repositories, file trees, and commit history • Read, create, and comment on issues • Track and review pull requests • Real-time notifications across every project you watch • Beautiful Markdown rendering for issues, PRs, and comments • Powerful search across repositories, issues, and pull requests • Universal app — one purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Native SwiftUI throughout, optimised for each form factor • Secure: your access token lives only in the system Keychain PRIVACY iTea collects no data. There is no iTea-operated backend, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. Every request goes directly from your device to the Gitea (or Forgejo) server you configure. REQUIREMENTS • A self-hosted Gitea or Forgejo instance you have access to • A personal access token with read scopes for repositories, issues, and notifications (plus write scopes if you want to create issues or leave comments) ABOUT GITEA Gitea is a community-driven, open-source Git forge that you can self-host. Forgejo is a Gitea-compatible community fork. Both work seamlessly with iTea. Learn more at gitea.com.

GitBoba is a fast, native iOS and iPadOS client for Gitea + Forgejo. Connect to your own self-hosted instance and get a full git workflow, no browser required. • Repos - Browse code, branches, and commits • Pull Requests - Full diffs, reviews, merges • Issues - See what's open across every repo. • Actions - Trigger a workflow, watch it run, check on your runners. • Releases & Packages - Cut and publish a package • Dashboard & Notifications: Everything that needs you in one place • And much more! Self-hosted software shouldn't come with a locked-down client. GitBoba won’t lock open-source behind a paywall. We strive to bring new functionality and provide feature parody with existing backend.
