Review, approve and merge from your phone — on gitlab.com or your company's self-hosted GitLab. GLab is a fast, native iPhone client for developers who ship on the go. You assemble the Home screen yourself, so it shows only the work waiting on you. Works with gitlab.com and any self-hosted GitLab (CE or EE, 14.x+). Connect multiple instances and switch in one tap. One-tap gitlab.com sign-in; guided setup for your own server or token. — WHAT YOU CAN DO — A Home screen you assemble • Up to eight modules: review requests, your MRs, issues, todos, failed, active and recent pipelines, recent projects • Every section renders as a list or a carousel; content, order and density are yours to set • Developer, Reviewer and Lead / DevOps presets rebuild Home in one tap • A status line: signals awaiting you, offline and unsent state • Swipe actions right in the lists: approve, merge, close an issue, retry or cancel a pipeline, snooze for a day Merge Requests • Full diff viewer with syntax highlighting and word-level changes • Comment on lines; threaded discussions — reply, resolve, edit • Apply suggestions from a review straight into the code • Create MRs; edit title, description, labels, assignees, milestone • Approve, unapprove, merge, rebase, close, reopen Issues • Create, comment, close, reopen, lock • Edit title, description, labels, assignees, milestones, due dates • Emoji reactions, subscribe, search across all projects CI/CD Pipelines • Active builds across all your projects right on the Home screen • Live status with stages, jobs and duration in the list • Run a pipeline on any branch; retry, cancel, play manual jobs • Raw build logs refreshing live; environments, deployments and runners Repository • Browse the file tree, view blobs with highlighting, line history (blame) • Create/delete files; branches and tags, compare diffs, commit history • Wiki, Snippets and Releases — browse and edit; README rendering Todos, groups and Ops • Unified todo inbox by project and action; mark-all-done and swipe actions • Activity feed, GitLab status, group list drilling into projects • CI/CD variables, schedules, runners, environments, registry (Maintainer+) • Project members — add, change access level, remove — FAST AND OFFLINE — Merge requests and issues are ready on Home from cache, even offline. Pipelines and job logs update live, then pause in the background to save battery. — MULTI-INSTANCE BY DESIGN — Every project, MR, issue and pipeline is scoped to its GitLab instance — gitlab.com never mixes with self-hosted, even with matching issue numbers. — PRIVACY AND SECURITY — • Personal Access Token and OAuth 2.0 PKCE sign-in • Tokens stored only in the Keychain, on this device • Tokens, emails, URLs and response bodies are never logged or sent to analytics • Anonymous analytics/crash reports — no personal data, no ad IDs • Privacy policy: https://gitlab.com/appstore-demo/glab/-/blob/main/PRIVACY.md — FREE AND PRO — GLab is free for read-only browsing of unlimited projects.

The remote app for wmux desktop. Pair with a QR code and every workspace and session on your computer is on your phone — pick up where you left off, read along, type, and answer. The free wmux desktop app (wmux.app) must be installed on your computer. It works with Windows 10/11 and macOS. Your code, shells and agents stay on your computer, not in the cloud, and there is no account. wmux never calls a model. It only mirrors the terminal on your own computer, so it works however your agents are set up there — with a personal API key, Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, a company gateway or a local model. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Watch a live terminal and type into it with a full keyboard — Esc, Tab, Ctrl and the arrows included • Read the same session as a native chat for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode: prose, code, diffs, tables, tool calls and the images the agent worked with • Fleet shows what needs you now — permission prompts, questions and finished work to review — and Workspaces mirrors the desktop sidebar, workspace › pane › tasks • Bots lists the bots and groups wmux runs on your computer: read their conversations, send them a message, and answer their questions and approvals • Search wmux's conversations, sessions and scrollback on a computer, all at once • Answer an agent's permission prompt from the lock screen or its card — Yes takes Face ID and a hold — so a run doesn't sit idle until you are back • Answer with no signal — replies wait in a queue and go out when you are back, and a recovery center gathers anything uncertain • Send a photo or a dictated line straight into a pane • Open a pull request, squash-merge it or push from a pane's Source control • Use it on iPad too, with a readable column and a hardware keyboard • Keep the count in front of you with a Home Screen widget or a lock screen Live Activity Some features need the latest wmux on your computer. BUILT FOR A PHONE, NOT SHRUNK ONTO ONE Tables wrap to the column instead of scrolling off the edge. Code blocks stay chips until you open them. The conversation groups by speaker so one turn reads as one turn. Everything is legible at arm's length in a dark room, which is where the notification usually finds you. WHAT YOU NEED wmux running on your own Windows or Mac computer — that is where your agents live, and this app is its remote. Get it at wmux.app. Your phone pairs by scanning a QR code and reaches that computer over your Tailscale tailnet, so it works away from home too. NO COMPUTER HANDY? TRY THE DEMO Open the app and tap "Try the demo" at the bottom of the pairing screen. It opens a sample workspace — an approval waiting, three sessions, a full transcript — with nothing connected and nothing sent anywhere. PRIVACY No account. No analytics. No advertising. Your pairing credential lives in this device's Keychain and is sent only to the computer you paired with. Notification contents are sealed on that computer and opened on your phone; the relay in between cannot read them. The lock screen Live Activity carries counts only — numbers, no text — and nothing is stored anywhere along the way.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: wmux at none against GLab's 3. wmux also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 days). GLab's advantage is chart position (#141 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
