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.

Skyhelm is a command center for the AI coding agents on your computer. Supervise, approve, and steer Claude Code and Codex — right from your phone. Your coding agents run on your desktop. Skyhelm watches every session automatically and streams it to your pocket, so you can leave the desk and stay in command. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every Claude Code & Codex session live — output, diffs, and what the agent is about to do • Approve or deny risky actions — shell commands, file edits, web fetches — before they run • Take over and type, or just talk: hold to speak in English, Slovak or Czech • Get a push notification the moment an agent needs you LOCAL-FIRST & PRIVATE On your home Wi-Fi, your phone talks straight to your desktop — nothing leaves your network. Your code, terminal output, and keys never touch our servers. REACH IT FROM ANYWHERE (Relay PRO) Away from home? The optional Relay bridges your phone to your desktop over an end-to-end-encrypted, zero-knowledge pipe. The relay only forwards sealed data — it never sees a thing. SECURE BY DESIGN Your desktop is the root of trust. Only devices you pair on your local network can reach it. Your device key lives in the Secure Enclave, unlocked with Face ID. A stolen account alone gets in nowhere. Skyhelm needs a coding agent (Claude Code or Codex) running on your macOS or Linux computer, plus the free Skyhelm desktop agent from skyhelm.dev. The app is free; Relay is an optional subscription. SKYHELM PRO — AUTO-RENEWABLE SUBSCRIPTION Skyhelm is free to use on your own Wi-Fi. Skyhelm PRO adds Relay, which reaches your computer from any network. • Skyhelm PRO Monthly — $9.99 per month • Skyhelm PRO Yearly — $99.99 per year Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
