GitSync.md is a Git client for iPhone and iPad. Keep Markdown notes and code in real Git repositories, edit your files, then review, commit, and push your changes. NOTES AND CODE, IN YOUR OWN FILES Use the built-in editor, or open repository files in Obsidian, iA Writer, 1Writer, Taio, or another compatible iOS Files app. Your notes stay ordinary files in a real Git working copy. GITHUB AND YOUR OWN GIT REMOTE Sign in to GitHub with OAuth or a Personal Access Token. You can also connect to GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, or a self-hosted Git remote over HTTPS or SSH using the credentials that remote requires. REVIEW BEFORE YOU PUSH See changed files and text diffs, stage your changes, write a commit message, and push to your remote. Browse commit history, manage branches, stash changes, and use Pull with Rebase. Review and resolve merge conflicts when they occur. START WITH A REPO OR A LOCAL FOLDER Clone a repository, open an existing local Git repository, or turn a supported folder on your iPhone or iPad into a Git repository. Publishing a local folder creates a new private GitHub repository as a separate action, so you can review your files before uploading them. SHORTCUTS FOR YOUR WORKFLOW Run Pull, Push, or Sync from Apple Shortcuts. Use syncmd:// callback links to trigger repository actions from compatible apps and notes. Synchronization is driven by these actions; this build does not offer automatic background sync. MULTIPLE REPOSITORIES Keep your notes, documentation, and code projects in separate repositories, each with its own branch, author details, and storage location. STANDARD GIT, DIRECT CONNECTIONS GitSync.md uses libgit2 for on-device Git operations. Your repositories have real .git directories, and Git traffic goes directly to your chosen remote. Git credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain. Terms of Use (EULA): https://gitsyncmd.app/terms

BarPeek Mobile is a native iPhone companion for a CodexBar server you run on your Mac. Connect to your server, then check AI provider quotas, reset times, credits, token activity, and reported costs wherever your network setup allows. SEE YOUR LIMITS AT A GLANCE • Review session, weekly, and other quota windows reported by your configured providers • See clear usage percentages and reset times • Monitor multiple providers from one focused dashboard • Pull to refresh or update automatically when you return to the app UNDERSTAND COST AND TOKEN ACTIVITY • Review available costs for today, the current session, and the last 30 days • See input, output, cache-read, and cache-creation token totals when reported • Browse recent daily activity when available • View remaining provider credits when supplied by your server CHECK USAGE FROM YOUR HOME SCREEN Add a configurable small or medium widget, choose which providers appear, and tap a provider to open its details in BarPeek Mobile. Widgets show the latest usage snapshot saved by the app. BUILT FOR YOUR SERVER Configure one reachable CodexBar server and use either the Direct API or an HTTPS Dashboard Snapshot endpoint. When used, bearer tokens are stored in the iOS Keychain. Your AI provider credentials remain in your Mac-side CodexBar setup and are not entered into BarPeek Mobile. AVAILABLE WHEN YOUR SERVER ISN'T Usage and cost data are cached locally, so your latest saved information can remain visible if your server is temporarily unreachable. BarPeek Mobile clearly shows when the saved data was last refreshed. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone running iOS 18 or later • CodexBar installed, configured, and running on a Mac • Network access from your iPhone to your CodexBar server BarPeek Mobile is a companion viewer. It does not provide AI service access or connect directly to provider accounts. Available quotas, credits, costs, and token details depend on the data returned by your CodexBar configuration.
