CurlFactory turns the URLs you fire all day into a grid of one-tap buttons. Pick an icon, paste an endpoint, and tap to send. No accounts, no servers, no friction. Built for makers, devs, and tinkerers who already have webhook URLs scattered across notes, group chats, and bookmark folders. CurlFactory gives them a home - your home screen. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Save any HTTP or HTTPS endpoint as a labeled, color-coded tile • Choose from 100+ icons covering home, work, travel, tools, money, media, and more • Tap a tile to fire the request and get an instant toast with the status code and timing • Inspect the response: tap a successful toast to see status, headers, and the first 4 KB of body • Hide sensitive curls behind Face ID - tokens stay invisible to over-the-shoulder eyes • Reorder, duplicate, or delete with a long-press • Skip onboarding, jump straight to building PERFECT FOR • Triggering Home Assistant, Hubitat, or Homebridge automations • Firing IFTTT or Zapier webhooks from your home screen • Pinging your own dev environments and APIs • Smart-home appliances that expose a local URL • Anything you'd otherwise paste into curl in a terminal ON-DEVICE PRIVACY CurlFactory was designed with privacy as the default. There is no account, no analytics, no telemetry. Every URL, title, and icon stays in your iPhone's app sandbox. Optional Face ID gating adds a second layer for sensitive endpoints. The app does not collect data - see our privacy policy for details. FREE & UNLIMITED • 5 saved curls free, forever - no trial, no clock • Unlock unlimited curls with a one-time in-app purchase. No subscription. Lifetime access. Family Sharing supported. • Restore Purchases works on a tap from anywhere DESIGNED FOR THE HOME SCREEN • Universal binary: works on iPhone and iPad • Light and dark mode • Dynamic Type and full VoiceOver labels • Haptics that feel right when a curl lands WHY CURL? The Unix curl command has been the universal "send a request" tool for thirty years. CurlFactory borrows the verb and gives it a home screen. MADE BY PIZERO CurlFactory is built by Pizero. Feedback, feature requests, and bug reports welcome.

BYOT is a native client for OpenCode, the open-source coding agent. Connect to the OpenCode server running on your own computer and drive coding sessions from your iPhone or iPad. SESSIONS Watch replies, reasoning, and tool activity stream live, with syntax-highlighted code, Markdown tables, and inline images. Open a subagent's task to follow its own session. See how much of the model's context window a session uses, plus tokens and cost for each reply. Export a transcript as Markdown or copy it all. COMPOSER Send prompts with photos, files, or files from your server, and mention files with @. Pick commands with /, switch between the Build and Plan agents in one tap, and choose models and reasoning effort from your server's catalog. Type ! to run a shell command directly on your computer and see its output in the conversation. Dictate prompts on-device. Queue follow-ups while the agent works. REVIEW AND CONTROL Review changes as a colored diff for each file, for the whole session or for one turn. Open a terminal to your computer with a key row for Esc, Tab, Ctrl, and arrows. Answer permission requests and questions, undo or redo a turn, fork a session, or compact it. PROJECTS AND SERVERS The session list updates live as sessions start, finish, or need you. Check your branch, MCP and language-server status, and change server settings. Start a session in its own git worktree. Recent sessions and transcripts stay readable offline. Add a server by scanning a pairing code or picking one found nearby, and switch between saved servers. NOTIFICATIONS, SIRI, AND IPAD With the optional BYOT companion on your computer, get notifications for approvals, questions, finished turns, and errors, and choose Allow once or Reject right from the notification. Ask OpenCode or check what needs you with Siri and Shortcuts. On iPad, sessions sit beside the conversation, with keyboard shortcuts. BYOT is available in English and Simplified Chinese. BYOT supports OpenCode 1 and OpenCode 2 beta servers with automatic protocol detection. It shows a feature only when your server supports it. PRIVACY Your server does the work. BYOT renders its responses and sends your instructions over HTTPS. There is no BYOT account or sign-up, and BYOT has no analytics or tracking. Server passwords are stored in the iOS Keychain. Prompts and attachments go to your configured server and the model providers you enable there. Dictation and pairing-code scanning happen on your device. Optional notifications and the computer queue use the BYOT relay for device registration, delivery, and encrypted queued content. See the privacy policy for storage and retention details. Requires an OpenCode server you operate, reachable over HTTPS, for example through Tailscale. Notifications and the computer queue also require the BYOT companion. BYOT is an independent client and is not affiliated with the OpenCode project.
