Clear the Cloudflare cache of any zone you manage — in three taps, from your iPhone, iPad or Mac. FlarePurge is a native Apple app for developers, agencies and teams who run websites behind Cloudflare. Select a zone, tap the orange flame, confirm. Done. No more opening the Cloudflare dashboard just to clear a CSS file. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Purge the entire cache of a zone • Selective purge — up to 30 specific URLs or hostnames, automatic batching • Bulk purge — every zone in a Cloudflare account in one confirm • Multi-account — add as many Cloudflare accounts as you need • Favorites — pin the zones you touch every day • History — the last purges from this session NATIVE ON EVERY APPLE DEVICE • iPhone with a tuned iOS 17 design • iPad with sidebar + detail split view • Mac with true keyboard shortcuts (⌘F search, ⌘R reload, ⌘1–9 favorites), menu bar integration and full macOS UI PRIVACY IS THE CONTRACT • No analytics. No tracking. No third-party SDKs. • No backend of ours: traffic goes directly from your device to api.cloudflare.com. • TLS with certificate pinning (SPKI SHA-256 hashes of Cloudflare's certs). • API tokens stored in the system Keychain, device-only by default; optional iCloud Keychain sync. • Favorites sync via your own private CloudKit container — we have zero visibility.

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.
