GYOKURO. YOUR GITEA AND FORGEJO, IN HAND. Code, issues, pull requests, releases and CI — straight from your pocket. gyokuro is the native iOS client for your Gitea or Forgejo server. Fast, private, no third-party detours. NEW IN 3.0: TWO SURFACES Simple shows what you need every day — a calm path through Gitea. Advanced unfolds the whole workbench: milestones, Actions, wiki, packages, time tracking, administration. One switch in Settings, the same screens, the same navigation. Nothing disappears quietly: every Advanced feature stays reachable through “More …”. Both surfaces are free. EVERYTHING YOU NEED ON THE GO Issues Read, comment, close and reopen — with a swipe. Labels, milestones and assignees right from the issue. Pull requests, split in two Discussion and Files as two tabs. Review and merge sit at the bottom, always within reach. Full diff with syntax highlighting, side by side on iPad. And when merging isn’t possible, it tells you why. Organizations, teams and packages Repositories grouped by organization, teams and members at a glance, packages from your server’s registry. Gitea Actions Workflow runs with green and red status dots, complete job logs, re-run for failed jobs — no browser needed. Search across everything Source code, issues, pull requests, file names and users, with real scope filters. One tap. Releases and tags Browse versions, download assets, create new releases with notes, tag and pre-release flag. A home screen with your workload Assigned, created, review requested — the top three of each group, with content, not just links. Plus pinned repositories, an activity feed and your contribution heatmap. Widgets and sharing Open issues on your lock and home screen. Send images, links or screenshots from any app straight into a new issue. Read offline Selected repositories stay readable on the train and in the basement. ON IPAD A sidebar with pinned repositories and organizations, list and detail side by side, two-column diffs, keyboard shortcuts. PRIVACY WITHOUT COMPROMISE gyokuro talks to your server and nothing else. No analytics SDKs, no ad networks, no tracking pixels. Tokens and passwords live encrypted in the iOS keychain. Full stop. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE IOS Pure SwiftUI, with Liquid Glass on iOS 26, dark mode, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver. Five color themes from Cream to Sumi. The app speaks English, German, Spanish and French. Native, fast animations — not a mobile web wrapper.
