About

MOBaiLE

Read full description

MOBaiLE keeps your own computer within reach when you are away from the keyboard. Pair iPhone with a Mac or Linux backend you control, send a prompt by text or voice, and watch progress stream back in a live thread. Your host keeps the repo, shell, credentials, files, and network access. The phone stays focused on capture, review, follow-up, and recovery. Use MOBaiLE to: - Start a coding-agent run, repo check, or shell command from iPhone - Follow live progress, changed files, verification, warnings, artifacts, and next actions - Talk through quick changes with voice mode and auto-send after silence - Attach context files, browse the host workspace, and inspect returned artifacts - Keep separate workspace threads for projects, follow-ups, and experiments - Review connection, executor, profile instructions, memory, and trust settings clearly MOBaiLE is not a cloud IDE and does not run code on iPhone. It sends prompts, audio, attachments, and run metadata to the backend you choose to pair. The paired Mac or Linux machine does the execution.

gitbay is a CLI-first git forge. This is its iOS client: somewhere to read, review and respond when you are away from a keyboard. Sign in with a token you mint over SSH. There is no password, no browser flow, and no account with us — the app talks only to the instance you name, and the token stays in the device Keychain. BROWSE - Files, directory trees, and syntax-highlighted source - Commit history, a single commit with its patch, and blame - Branches, tags, and full-text search across a repository - READMEs and wikis, rendered as Markdown or Org REVIEW - Merge requests with the diff, file by file and hunk by hunk - Review threads anchored to diff lines, with replies and resolution - Approve, request changes, and merge with the strategies the server allows TRIAGE - Issues with labels, assignees, and milestones - Open, edit, comment, and close from the phone - Signature verdicts shown on every commit WATCH - A dashboard of what waits on your review, what is assigned to you, and what is still open - CI builds with their logs, and a trigger for any job the config names - Releases, organisations, teams, and profiles Every screen is backed by a command the server already exposes, so the app cannot drift from what the CLI and the web can do. Requires your own gitbay instance. gitbay is free software; the forge and this client are developed in the open at gitbay.org.
