About

Orbiter Dev

Read full description

Orbiter Dev is a mobile air traffic controller for developers working with single or multiple AI coding agents and IDEs. When an agent wants to run a command, change files, or perform a sensitive action, Orbiter Dev helps you review the request from anywhere using your iPhone or iPad before work continues. It is built for developers who want faster agent workflows without losing human control over risky actions. Key features: - Review approval events from your phone or tablet - Inspect action details, risk level, workspace, and agent source - Approve or reject requests with a clear audit trail - Use Face ID secure action for sensitive approval decisions - Tune Risk Rules to suit your appetite or reduce routine approval noise - View recent approvals & details and actions logged - Pair supported desktop coding environments and agent integrations - Manage & restore Pro subscriptions with StoreKit across devices Orbiter Dev is designed as a companion app for modern developer workflows. It does not replace code review, testing, backups, access control, or deployment safeguards. You remain responsible for reviewing agent actions before allowing them to pursue or block work. Free includes a limited approval workflow. Pro unlocks advanced approval controls for professional use, including unlimited approvals, Face ID approval gates, Risk Rules, and Priority Sync.

About

Moray

Features

The SSH client that feels like it was made by Apple. Moray is a native SSH, SFTP, and terminal client for iPhone, iPad, and Mac β€” with a real terminal, a dual-pane file manager, port-forwarding tunnels, and on-device key security. Your hosts and snippets sync through your own iCloud; your keys and passwords never leave the Keychain. No account, no vendor server. β–Έ A REAL TERMINAL A full terminal powered by SwiftTerm β€” rich color, a fast keyboard, and smooth scrollback. Open several sessions as tabs, name them, switch with ⌘1β€“βŒ˜9, search the scrollback, and run commands automatically on connect. Moray remembers what you typed on each server β€” never a password β€” so you can search it and re-run. A customizable Smart Bar puts arrows, Esc, Tab, Ctrl, and paste one tap away. β–Έ SFTP FILE MANAGER Browse, upload, download, rename, and delete over SFTP. A server opens in your home directory and reopens in the folder you left it in. Preview with Quick Look, edit text files in place, or choose which app opens which file type β€” one default for everything, or a rule per extension. On iPad and Mac, a dual-pane manager copies files and whole folders between servers β€” or between a server and your computer β€” with drag and drop straight from Finder, and a file pane can sit beside the terminal, on the folder your shell is in. β–Έ YOUR SERVERS IN THE FILES APP On iPhone and iPad, mount a host and it appears in Files next to iCloud Drive β€” open a remote file straight into any app that uses the document picker, and save back to it. β–Έ PORT-FORWARDING TUNNELS Forward a local port to a database, dashboard, or service behind your server. Import the LocalForward lines from your existing ~/.ssh/config, start every tunnel with one tap, and keep them running in the background with a Live Activity. β–Έ KEYS DONE RIGHT Generate or import Ed25519 and RSA keys. Keys and saved passwords live in the device Keychain β€” encrypted, biometric-gated, and never synced unless you opt in. Trust-on-first-use host-key pinning warns you the moment a server's identity changes. β–Έ SMART AUTOFILL Moray recognizes sudo, login, passphrase, and one-time-code prompts and offers a host-scoped, Face ID–gated fill β€” so you enter your password once, not every time. β–Έ ORGANIZED HOSTS Group your servers, tag them, and give each an icon and color. A ⌘K command palette and Siri Shortcuts get you connected in seconds. Jump hosts (ProxyJump) reach servers that sit behind a bastion. β–Έ SNIPPETS Save the commands you run all the time β€” with fill-in placeholders β€” and run or paste them into any session. β–Έ MAKE IT YOURS Start from built-in terminal themes or design your own with a full color editor. Choose your font, size, and cursor style. β–Έ SYNC, YOUR WAY Hosts, groups, snippets, and host keys sync across your devices through your own iCloud β€” no Moray account, ever. Key material stays device-local unless you explicitly turn on iCloud Keychain sync. β–Έ APPLE-NATIVE THROUGHOUT Widgets for your recent hosts, Siri and Spotlight, a menu-bar and keyboard-driven Mac app, a biometric app lock, and JSON backup/restore. Built with SwiftUI for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. ________________ FREE & PRO Moray's terminal, SFTP file manager, key management, and host organization are free to use. Moray Pro unlocks iCloud sync, port-forwarding tunnels, jump hosts, SSH agent auth, custom themes, unlimited snippets, and widgets β€” as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. ________________ PRIVATE BY DESIGN β€’ No account and no vendor servers β€” sync is your iCloud, or nothing β€’ Private keys and passwords stay in the Keychain, device-local by default β€’ Open host-key pinning, so you always know exactly what you're connecting to ________________ Questions or a feature request?
