About

Motif

Features
Read full description

Motif is an SSH terminal, Codex client, and remote dev-session app for your own machines. Run the open-source motifd daemon on your Mac, Linux box, or any host, then connect from your iPhone or iPad to access terminal sessions, files, Git diffs, and Codex coding tasks wherever you are. Like “tmux attach” for your whole dev environment: • Codex workspace — open, resume, and manage coding tasks; follow plans and tool activity; handle approvals and questions; review edited files • Live PTY terminals — run multiple sessions, synced across attached clients • Browse the project file tree and open files • Review changes with a built-in Git diff • Connect directly, over Tailscale, or through an SSH tunnel • Secured with TLS and a single-user bearer token Codex runs on your own machine through your existing Codex setup. Motif does not host your code or terminal sessions. motifd is required and runs on your own machine. See the project page for setup instructions: https://tech.xiachufang.xyz/motif/

Read full description

SodaPush is an open-source APNs delivery system. You can deploy it using Cloudflare Workers (also free) or a self-hosted server. SodaPush provides you with all the components you need for APNs. It helps you handle deviceToken storage, allows you to send push notifications to all users (or by userID or tags), and manages user access on the SodaPush server and the p8 key. All data is saved on your Cloudflare Workers, Queues and D1 or your server. This app is SodaPush's admin client, which lets you operate the SodaPush server through a GUI. All of SodaPush's code is open-source. Feel free to use it for APNs! Note: You need to deploy the SodaPush backend server yourself first on Cloudflare Workers or your self-hosted server first. This app only provides you with a GUI to manage the server. For more information, please check out: https://github.com/SodaPush Please use SodaPush reasonably.
