Your AI docs, finally readable. githtml is the iOS reader for HTML documentation that lives inside your GitHub repos. Documentation your AI coding agent writes, the rendered output, the framework references you keep meaning to read on the train. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Connect your GitHub, pick a repo, tap a file. That's it. — WHAT IT DOES • A clean WebKit reader that gets out of the way of your content — the doc's own typography and styling stay intact. • A bottom drawer for capturing notes on any page. Auto-saved per file, exportable as plain text or through the system share sheet. • Browse, Favorites, and Recents — all three grouped by owner so a hundred repos stay organized. • Scroll-aware navigation chrome that fades while you read and comes back the instant you scroll up. • Offline cache — once you've opened a doc, the bytes stay on your device. — WHO IT'S FOR • Developers using Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or other coding agents that write extensive docs into their repos. • Solo builders maintaining a personal knowledge base in private repos. • Engineers reading framework docs, API references, and internal wikis on the train, on planes, or away from Wi-Fi. • Anyone who has tried to read raw Markdown in the GitHub mobile app and given up. — HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign in with GitHub. The app uses GitHub's official App flow — you pick which repos to grant access to. 2. The permission requested is "Read access to code." Nothing else. No write access, no organization data, no actions. 3. Pick an owner, then a repo, then a file. HTML files are indexed by default. — LOCAL-ONLY, ALWAYS • Your GitHub token lives in the iOS Keychain. • Your notes live in local SwiftData storage. • Your cached docs live in the local file system. • "Delete all data" wipes every byte the app has ever stored, in one tap. • There is no githtml server. The only network calls are to GitHub itself and a tiny token-exchange function that never sees your token after the exchange completes. — WHAT'S NEXT githtml is built around a tight V1: read your repos, take notes, work offline. Future versions will add more ways to navigate and search a large archive of cached docs. Email feedback to shape what ships next.

OnDevice is a local-first AI studio for iPhone. Run compatible language, vision, speech, and image models on your device. Browse models and choose what to download. Model size, memory use, and speed depend on your hardware. CHAT AND CREATE Ask questions, write, work with code, save snippets, and export conversations. Use camera or photo input with a compatible vision model, or use built-in OCR without downloading a vision model. Voice conversations use local Apple speech by default, with optional downloadable neural voices. Compatible image models support local image generation, which can be restricted with a parental PIN. YOU CHOOSE THE CONNECTIONS Local inference uses installed models. Network features are optional: model discovery and downloads, web search, paired Mac tools, a local API, and iCloud sync. Web providers may receive the queries or content you choose to send and may require their own API account. No app account is required for local use; there is no analytics SDK. REQUIREMENTS Requires iOS 18 or later. Downloadable models need storage and sufficient available memory. The app may pause or refuse heavy workloads when the device is too hot or memory is low. Model compatibility and performance vary by device.
