Gitzy is a serious Git client built for developers. It brings full version control to iPhone and iPad with a focus on reliability, safety, and transparency. Whether you clone a repo, inspect history, or sync with a remote, Gitzy is designed to match the expectations of developers who rely on Git every day. Repository management sits at the core. Open an existing repository, initialize a new one, or clone over HTTPS. Authentication uses tokens stored securely in the system Keychain. You stay in control of your credentials and your data. The visual commit graph gives you a clear view of branch structure, merges, and history. Navigate by time, search by message or author, and drill into any commit. A dedicated diff viewer shows exactly what changed, with support for staging at file, hunk, or line level. Branch management covers checkout, create, delete, rebase onto another branch, and upstream setup. Power tools are built in. Rebase and revert keep history predictable. Reset supports soft, mixed, and hard modes. Clean and discard handle untracked and modified files with explicit confirmation. Every destructive action is gated so you know what will happen before you confirm. Sync is safe and transparent. Push, pull, and fetch integrate with your remotes. When something goes wrong, Gitzy maps low-level errors to human-readable messages and suggests recovery steps. Pre-push checks warn about non-fast-forward and other risky states so you can decide how to proceed. AI assistance is optional and entirely under your control. Use it for commit message suggestions or repository insights if you enable it. Local and cloud-backed options are available; no data is sent unless you trigger an AI feature and have configured a provider. Gitzy is built to be robust and developer-first. It prioritizes correctness over shortcuts and clarity over jargon. Your repository data stays on your device. Credentials stay in the Keychain. The app does not track you, does not show ads, and does not depend on third-party analytics. If you need a Git client that respects your workflow and your privacy, Gitzy is built for you.
RemoteX

RemoteX is a local-first AI workspace for infrastructure operations. Connect SSH Servers, Kubernetes clusters, and Databases, then interact with them in plain English. Ask: • "why is production slow?" • "show failing pods" • "what changed recently?" • "explain this Postgres query" • "check disk usage across all servers" RemoteX can inspect infrastructure, read logs, query databases, analyze files, and propose actions — while keeping you in control through approval-based execution and Face ID protection. There is no RemoteX backend between you and your infrastructure. Conversations, servers, and chat history sync end-to-end encrypted across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your own iCloud. Apple sees nothing but a blob — only your devices hold the key. WHAT YOU CAN CONNECT • SSH servers • Kubernetes clusters via kubeconfig • PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Redis • Private infrastructure through SSH bastions/tunnels WHAT IT DOES • Diagnose infrastructure in plain English • Chat with multiple servers and environments at once • Read pod logs and inspect Kubernetes resources • Run read-only database queries with safety limits • Explain SQL queries and query plans • Browse and manage remote files • Attach PDFs, spreadsheets, logs, code, JSON, YAML, and documents directly into AI chat • Generate summaries and operational insights instead of walls of terminal output • One-tap operational recipes and reusable playbooks • Background monitoring with notifications • Full-text conversation search • Voice input support • Multiple chats per environment or project • Continue conversations across iPhone, iPad, and Mac — pick up on your phone what you started on your Mac SAFETY & CONTROL • Every state-changing action requires approval • Face ID / Touch ID protection for sensitive operations • Clear target routing when actions go through bastion hosts • SSH host-key pinning with algorithm validation • Read-only query protections for databases • Row caps and timeout limits for AI-generated queries ACROSS YOUR DEVICES • End-to-end encrypted sync between iPhone, iPad, and Mac via your own iCloud • A passphrase you set is the key — Apple and RemoteX cannot decrypt your data • No central server, no account — sync runs entirely between your devices • Open a chat on iPhone, continue on Mac; add a server on Mac, see it on iPhone LOCAL-FIRST SECURITY • SSH credentials, API keys, kubeconfigs, and database credentials stay on your device • No RemoteX-managed infrastructure proxy • Optional iCloud sync is end-to-end encrypted with a passphrase only you know — your data is unreadable to Apple, RemoteX, and anyone in between • Bring your own AI provider: • Anthropic • OpenAI • Google Gemini • Commands and infrastructure context are sent directly to the AI provider you choose • Optional crash reporting via Sentry (disabled by default) BUILT FOR • DevOps engineers • Platform teams • Solo founders running infrastructure • SREs and on-call engineers • Developers managing production systems PRO FEATURES RemoteX is free for one server. Upgrade for: • Unlimited infrastructure connections • Background monitoring and alerts • Extended monitoring history • Custom playbooks and recipes • Advanced search REQUIREMENTS • SSH access to your infrastructure • API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google AI Studio • iPhone with Face ID or Touch ID Terms of Use: https://remotex.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://remotex.dev/privacy
