About

Quick Issues

Features
Read full description

Quick Issues is a native iOS issue capture app for developers who ship across GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Forgejo, Codeberg and self-hosted instances. Create issues in moments, organize everything in one unified inbox, and keep moving, even when you're offline. CAPTURE IN SECONDS Log a bug or an idea in a couple of seconds. No browser, no context switch. ONE INBOX FOR EVERY REPO Personal GitHub, work GitLab, a self-hosted Gitea or Forgejo instance, Codeberg. Connect them all and stop juggling tabs and logins. Forgejo and Codeberg are first-class, and the provider picker groups everything by hosting model, so connecting one is a couple of taps rather than a URL you have to look up. ASSIGN WITHOUT LEAVING THE APP Add or remove assignees on any issue, see who is on what from the list, and pull up everything assigned to you in a single view. LINKED PULL REQUESTS The pull requests that reference an issue show up on it automatically, colour-coded open, merged or closed. No tab switching to find out whether someone already fixed it. OFFLINE FIRST Capture on the subway, on a plane, on spotty hotel Wi-Fi. Quick Issues queues your changes and syncs them when you're back online. BUILT FOR iOS 26 Pure native Swift. Not a web wrapper, not Electron. Markdown bodies render properly, including tables, task lists and fenced code. Labels stay readable in both appearances, and a ten-thousand-issue repo scrolls as smoothly as a ten-issue one. Free: one account, unlimited repos. Pro: multiple accounts, sync across devices. Built by a solo developer who got tired of online-only apps on the subway.

About

Grit for GitLab

Features
Read full description

Grit for Gitlab is a native client for accessing GitLab on the go. Browse GitLab source repositories anytime, anywhere as long as you've got an internet connection. Grit visualizes your source code repositories, MRs, build pipelines, and review discussions in a beautiful UI that adapts with accessibility features in the app settings and the modern Liquid Glass interface(s). Grit is entirely open-sourced, available freely for auditing, forking, or contributing to help make the GitLab community better together! Grit was built with love to help bring the power of GitLab making GitLab more accessible to everyone. That being said, Grit for GitLab contains a number of useful features and functions to help you be productive on the go. From within this app, you have the functionality to: - Browse Public GitLab repositories - Browse your personal GitLab repositories - Merge open merge requests - Comment on Issues and open merge requests - Create new Issues - Mark issues as complete - View build pipelines (latest and historic) for repos that you have access to - View user profiles and contributor profiles for repositories - Follow other users, and view ongoing activity within Gitlab and projects you care about Grit for Gitlab is entirely and 100% free to use was you'd like. There is a tip jar, but please do not feel pressured, unless you want to contribute to development in that way. In any case, thank you for your support and I sincerely hope this app will be helpful to you and your everyday projects. Finally, Grit has been built with Apple's latest Foundation models included. This feature is entirely optional, disabled by default. When enabled, however, will provide you with an easily summonable assistant to help with summarising repositories, ask questions about source code, and summarise MRs that maybe are a bit challenging to understand. Note that this feature in particular is still a little experimental, and continual improvement to the hooks for the foundation models to work are still being worked on!
