MobileDB is a native PostgreSQL client for iPhone and iPad. Connect straight from your device to any Postgres database - over TLS or through an in-app SSH tunnel - and browse, query, and edit your data from anywhere. There is no backend and no account: your credentials live in the iOS Keychain and your data travels only between your device and your own servers. TRY IT INSTANTLY • Tap "Try the Demo" for a built-in sample database - browse tables and explore live dashboards with no account, no server, and no setup CONNECT YOUR WAY • Save multiple connections with passwords and SSH keys secured in the Keychain • TLS modes: require & verify, allow self-signed, or disable for local networks • Built-in SSH tunneling (the app does the ssh -L for you) with trust-on-first-use host-key pinning for databases behind a bastion BROWSE • Schema → table → row navigation with search • Structure view: columns, types, primary-key badges, defaults • Paginated data grid with sorting, sticky column headers, and one-tap refresh • Tap any cell to inspect and copy the full value • Filter by a value, or jump along a foreign key to the referenced row QUERY • SQL editor with autocomplete (tables, columns, keywords) • Query history and saved queries • Export results to CSV or JSON EDIT • Type-aware row editor - toggles for booleans, number pads, date pickers, UUID helpers • Insert, update, and delete keyed on the primary key • Unsaved-changes guard so you never lose an edit by accident DASHBOARDS • Build quick, native dashboards right on your phone - no SQL required • "Total count" for a big-number metric (e.g. total users) • "Count over time" - pick a date column and a window (24h to 12 months) for a trend chart • "Count by category" - a bar chart broken down by any column • Or write custom SQL and pick how to chart it (number, bar, line, or table) • Charts render natively with Swift Charts; refresh a whole dashboard with one tap WIDGETS & SIRI • Put any dashboard metric or chart on your Home Screen or Lock Screen • "Hey Siri, get signups from MobileDB" — or use metrics and saved queries in Shortcuts • Always read-only, and only for connections you allow WORK SAFELY IN PRODUCTION • Tag a connection as Development, Staging, or Production • Production shows an always-on red banner so you always know where you are • Open any connection read-only — the session is read-only and all write UI is hidden • A destructive-statement guard warns before UPDATE/DELETE without WHERE, and TRUNCATE / DROP / ALTER • Optional Face ID / Touch ID lock for the whole app Postgres-only today, with an engine-agnostic core so more databases can follow. MobileDB collects no analytics and shows no ads. It has no servers of its own.

SSE Inspector is a focused stream debugger for developers building with AI APIs and LLMs. It preserves the original SSE (Server-Sent Events) response and presents every packet, semantic delta, packet interval, response header, and assembled output so broken, stalled, merged, or incomplete streams are easier to diagnose. It supports OpenAI, DeepSeek, Claude, Gemini, Ollama, Llama, and custom SSE mappings. Paste a cURL command to instantly import its URL, method, headers, body, and credentials; the app automatically detects the protocol from endpoint and request characteristics. Sessions can be edited, rerun, replayed, imported, exported, and shared as redacted Debug Bundles. No account required. Sessions and credentials remain on device and are sent only to endpoints you explicitly run. Initial Release! A powerful companion for AI & LLM developers to debug Server-Sent Events. AI SSE Presets: Ready-to-use environments for OpenAI, DeepSeek, Claude, Gemini, and Ollama/Llama. Smart cURL Import: Paste cURL to automatically detect and map protocols. Deep Diagnostics: Raw SSE stream viewing, real-time response rendering, timing charts, and interval analytics. Session Management: Edit, rerun, replay, import, and export debugging sessions with ease.
