Bosun App

Read full description

Bosun turns every GitHub repository you care about into a single fleet dashboard. One screen, every workflow, every red build. If you maintain more than a couple of repos, you know the loop: push, context-switch, forget. GitHub's Actions tab shows one repo at a time, and a failing build can sit there for days. Bosun keeps the whole fleet in view and puts the failures on top. THE FLEET DASHBOARD (FREE, FOREVER) • Every repo as a card: CI status, latest runs per workflow, latest release, open PRs and issues. • Failing repos float to the top automatically. Manual reorder if you prefer your own order. • Tap a failing run and the log opens already scrolled to the error. Expand context, copy in a tap, jump to github.com. • Latest release per repo, with notes and asset list. • A calendar of upcoming scheduled (cron) runs across the fleet, with a countdown to the next one. • Re-run or dispatch a workflow from your phone (opt-in, requires write scope). • GitHub service status surfaced inline, so you know when it is them, not you. MULTI-ACCOUNT • Several GitHub accounts in one unified fleet. • Per-account visibility rules: hide an account, or show the work one only on work days and work hours. • Vacation mode: hide the fleet until a date you choose. BOSUN WATCH (SUBSCRIPTION) A phone app cannot watch your CI while it is closed. Bosun Watch runs server-side and does: • Push on failure. A notification within seconds of a workflow going red, and a back-to-green alert when it recovers. • Auto-retry. Per-repo, per-workflow rules with max attempts and cooldown. Only the failed jobs are re-run. Flaky tests stop being pages. • Cascades. When one repo's run triggers runs in others, GitHub records no causal link. Bosun infers the chain and shows it with a confidence score. • Chains. Cross-repo pipelines defined in the app, no YAML. Build two repos, then deploy a third if both are green. One clean notification per chain. • Live widget. Fleet status on your home screen, kept fresh in the background. The free dashboard never degrades. The subscription covers exactly the features that need a server running around the clock. PRIVACY • Sign in with GitHub's device flow. Your token stays in the iOS Keychain. • Read-only by default. The single write scope is opt-in. • No account to create, no email, no analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. • App lock with PIN and Face ID. • Try the whole app in demo mode, with realistic sample data, before connecting anything. Bosun is for indie developers, small teams and OSS maintainers with more repos than attention. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
