GitSync.md brings real Git to your iPhone. Clone any GitHub repository, pull the latest changes, edit your notes and markdown files, then commit and push — all without a terminal. Real Git, Not a Workaround GitSync.md uses libgit2 to perform actual Git operations on your device. Your repos have a real .git directory. Commit history, branches, diffs — it's all there. No proprietary sync layer, no lock-in. Works With Your Favorite Editor Cloned repositories appear directly in the iOS Files app. Open them in Obsidian, iA Writer, 1Writer, Taio, or any app that supports the Files provider. Edit however you like, then come back to GitSync.md to commit and push. GitHub Native Sign in with GitHub OAuth or paste a Personal Access Token. Browse your repositories and clone with one tap. Author name, email, and branch are configured per-repo. Full Git Workflow • Clone any GitHub repository to your iPhone • Pull to fetch the latest remote changes • Stage all changes, write a commit message, and push • See uncommitted change counts at a glance • View branch, commit SHA, and last sync time per repo Obsidian Integration GitSync.md supports x-callback-url so other apps can trigger Git operations programmatically. Tap a syncmd://x-callback-url/sync link in any note, or run it from an iOS Shortcut, to pull and push without leaving Obsidian. Multiple Repositories Manage as many repos as you need. Each one gets its own branch, author, and storage location. Clone your blog, your Zettelkasten, your dotfiles — all in one app. Your Data Stays Yours Your files and Git credentials stay on your device and communicate directly with your Git provider. If you separately enable Push Sync, its relay stores repository names, verified GitHub App installation/account identifiers, and APNs registration data to route alerts. It never receives local file contents, paths, or Git credentials. 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.
