Quick Issues

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.

GYOKURO. YOUR GITEA AND FORGEJO, IN HAND. Code, issues, pull requests, releases and CI — straight from your pocket. gyokuro is the native iOS client for your Gitea or Forgejo server. Fast, private, no third-party detours. NEW IN 3.0: TWO SURFACES Simple shows what you need every day — a calm path through Gitea. Advanced unfolds the whole workbench: milestones, Actions, wiki, packages, time tracking, administration. One switch in Settings, the same screens, the same navigation. Nothing disappears quietly: every Advanced feature stays reachable through “More …”. Both surfaces are free. EVERYTHING YOU NEED ON THE GO Issues Read, comment, close and reopen — with a swipe. Labels, milestones and assignees right from the issue. Pull requests, split in two Discussion and Files as two tabs. Review and merge sit at the bottom, always within reach. Full diff with syntax highlighting, side by side on iPad. And when merging isn’t possible, it tells you why. Organizations, teams and packages Repositories grouped by organization, teams and members at a glance, packages from your server’s registry. Gitea Actions Workflow runs with green and red status dots, complete job logs, re-run for failed jobs — no browser needed. Search across everything Source code, issues, pull requests, file names and users, with real scope filters. One tap. Releases and tags Browse versions, download assets, create new releases with notes, tag and pre-release flag. A home screen with your workload Assigned, created, review requested — the top three of each group, with content, not just links. Plus pinned repositories, an activity feed and your contribution heatmap. Widgets and sharing Open issues on your lock and home screen. Send images, links or screenshots from any app straight into a new issue. Read offline Selected repositories stay readable on the train and in the basement. ON IPAD A sidebar with pinned repositories and organizations, list and detail side by side, two-column diffs, keyboard shortcuts.
