Redline is a native iOS client for reviewing pull requests. Sign in with a Personal Access Token — no OAuth dance, no app server in the middle — and your code reviews live on your phone. What you can do: - Browse pull requests across all your repos with rich filtering - Read diffs with native syntax highlighting - Leave inline comments and submit full reviews (approve, request changes, comment) - Manage assignees, reviewers, and labels - Track review requests with in-app badges and background refresh Why Redline: - Native, not a wrapper — built in SwiftUI for iOS 26 - Offline-first: last-viewed pull requests stay readable when you lose signal - Background refresh keeps badges and notifications current - Privacy first: your token lives in the iOS Keychain. No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party servers. Redline is a review-only client. It does not commit code, run workflows, or modify repository settings — by design.

Remote Pi turns your iPhone into the control surface for the AI coding agents running on every machine you work from. Pair your phone once by scanning a QR code on your Mac. From then on your devices form a mesh: the agents on your machines talk to each other, and your phone is the trusted key that authorizes new peers and lets you step in from anywhere. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Scan a QR code to pair with a machine in seconds • See every active agent session across all your paired machines in one list • Follow the conversation live as your agent streams its work • Approve or reject tool calls with a tap — you stay in control of what runs • Move between machines without losing context YOUR PHONE IS JUST THE AUTHENTICATOR You don't run the heavy work on your phone. The agents live on your computers; your phone holds the cryptographic identity that vouches for new devices and gives you a window into what's happening. Pairing uses Ed25519 device keys over TLS. WORKS WITH THE HARNESS YOU USE Remote Pi rides alongside the coding-agent setup you already run on your machines instead of replacing it. OPEN SOURCE & SELF-HOSTABLE Remote Pi is open source. Start with the public relay, or point the app at your own self-hosted relay so the connection between your devices runs on infrastructure you control. Built for developers who want their agents within reach — on the couch, on the move, or away from the desk.
