GitInflow turns your Issues into a kanban workflow on your iPhone. No extra tools, no backend — just your repositories. KANBAN BOARD Organize your issues across four status tabs: Backlog, Ready, In Progress, and Done. Status is tracked using labels, so it works with any tool. MULTI-REPOSITORY Select up to 5 repositories and view all issues in one unified kanban view. Filter by repository with a single tap. QUICK TRIAGE Swipe to change status, add labels, set milestones, and leave comments. No menus, no tapping through screens — just swipe. SMART SHARE SHEET See a bug in Slack? An idea in Safari? Share it to GitInflow to create an Issue in seconds. Append to existing issues too. ISSUE DETAIL View comments, labels, milestones, and status badges. Change status with one tap. PULL REQUESTS Dedicated PR tab to keep track of open pull requests across your repositories. WIDGET Add a home screen widget to see your In Progress count at a glance. PRIVACY-FIRST Your data stays between your device and your repositories. No analytics, no tracking. OAuth tokens are stored in the iOS Keychain.

Houm is one dark, modular home for everything you self-host — the smart home your phone already talks to, and the media, servers and containers your homelab already runs. Every service is its own switch. Turn on only the ones you actually use, sign each into your own server, and Houm gets out of the way. SMART HOME See and control every accessory from Apple Home or Google Home — lights, locks, thermostats and cameras — without opening a separate app. WATCH SOMETHING Browse what's trending and request new films and shows through Requests, then follow it through Radarr and Sonarr's queues until it's ready. WHAT'S PLAYING The dashboard leads with what's on: streams, transcodes and bandwidth from Plex or Tautulli, updated as they happen. DOWNLOADS Keep an eye on NZBGet's queue and speed without switching to a browser tab. THE RACK Proxmox, Unraid and Portainer put every node, VM, disk and container in your pocket — what's running, what's full, and what needs attention. Sign in once with Plex to connect Requests and the Now Playing card, or skip it and set everything up later from Settings. Houm talks directly to the servers you already run — no new accounts, no subscriptions, no cloud in between. Houm is for people who already run a homelab. Bring your own Plex, Seerr, Radarr, Sonarr, NZBGet, Tautulli, Proxmox, Unraid or Portainer — Houm is the one app to watch them all from
