About

Crash Buddy

Read full description

Crash Buddy is designed for developers and QA testers who need a fast and efficient way to understand why an app crashed. Import .ips crash log files generated by iOS and instantly get a structured, easy-to-read report with all the information needed for debugging and troubleshooting. Key Features: - Import and analyze .ips crash logs - Automatic crash summary with possible root cause insights - Full stack trace visualization - Frame and binary image analysis - Technical details about the app environment and build - Fast navigation through crash details Crash Buddy also includes Crash Intelligence, an on-device AI assistant that lets you chat directly with your crash logs. Ask questions like: β€œWhat is the most likely cause of this crash?” β€œWhich frame looks suspicious?” β€œWhat does this exception mean?” β€œHow can I reproduce this issue?” All analysis happens directly on the device, helping keep sensitive crash data private without sending information to external servers. Crash Buddy helps reduce debugging time, understand complex stack traces, and speed up issue resolution.

Difftray brings code review to your phone and tablet. Pair it with the open-source Difftray desktop app, then read git diffs, browse every changed file, and leave line-by-line comments β€” all over your own local network, with no cloud in between. Difftray is a companion app. It works alongside the Difftray desktop app running on your Mac. Scan a QR code once to pair, then pick up any project from the couch, a meeting room, or the other side of the office. REVIEW DIFFS ANYWHERE Read inline diffs with real syntax highlighting, sized for small screens. See additions and deletions at a glance, move between changes, and mark each file reviewed as you go. BROWSE CHANGED FILES Step through every changed file in a project and see exactly what moved, with per-file and total added/removed line counts. HAND OFF TO YOUR CODING AGENT Leave comments on the lines that need work, then export them as an agent-ready prompt. Copy it or share it straight into your AI coding agent so the fixes are queued up before you're back at your keyboard. ALL YOUR PROJECTS Every project open on your desktop is one tap away on your phone or tablet. PAIR LOCALLY, STAY PRIVATE Connect by scanning a QR code or entering a short code β€” no account, no sign-up. Your phone talks directly to your own computer over local Wi-Fi, or over your private Tailscale network when you're away from your desk. Pairing is end-to-end encrypted, and your code never touches a server we run. REQUIREMENTS Difftray requires the free, open-source Difftray desktop app with its companion server enabled. This mobile app is a companion to that desktop app and does not work on its own. Pair your phone, step away from your desk, and keep reviewing.
