MobileDB is a native PostgreSQL client for iPhone and Apple Watch. Connect straight to any Postgres database — over TLS or an in-app SSH tunnel — and browse, query, chart and edit your data from anywhere. Ask questions in plain English and get answers. No backend, no account: credentials stay in the iOS Keychain and data travels only between your device and your servers. TRY IT INSTANTLY • Tap "Try the Demo" for a built-in sample database — no account, server or setup CONNECT YOUR WAY • Paste a connection URL from Supabase, Neon, Railway, Render, Heroku or AWS • Passwords and SSH keys secured in the Keychain • TLS (require, verify, self-signed) and built-in SSH tunneling with host-key pinning BROWSE • Schema → table → row navigation with search • Schema Map: every table and foreign key in an interactive diagram • Data grid with sorting, filters and foreign-key jumps • JSON/JSONB values as a collapsible tree ASK AI • Ask "how many users signed up this week?" and get the number, a table or a chart. Queries run read-only and time-limited; anything that changes data is never run automatically • "Hey Siri, ask MobileDB…" — spoken answers on your phone and watch, and in Shortcuts • Build dashboard widgets and new rows from a sentence • Free and private with Apple Intelligence — the on-device model runs on your phone • Or bring your own key for any OpenAI-compatible provider. Only your schema and question are sent — no row data unless you allow it QUERY & EDIT • SQL editor with syntax highlighting and autocomplete • Charts, history, saved queries, CSV/JSON export • Type-aware row editor: insert, update, duplicate and delete by primary key DASHBOARDS • "Build me a dashboard": MobileDB finds users, orders and revenue and proposes cards, each checked against your data • Guided cards (totals, trends, breakdowns) or custom SQL, with trends vs the previous period • Share any card or dashboard as a polished image WIDGETS, ALERTS & WATCH • Dashboard metrics on your Home Screen, Lock Screen and Apple Watch • Daily digest: yesterday's key numbers each morning • Alerts when a metric crosses a threshold or jumps or drops • Live Activities: pin a metric to the Lock Screen; long queries show in the Dynamic Island with a Stop button • Always read-only, and only for connections you allow WORK SAFELY IN PRODUCTION • Tag connections as Development, Staging or Production, with an always-on red banner • Read-only sessions, and a guard before UPDATE/DELETE without WHERE, TRUNCATE, DROP or ALTER • Privacy mode hides emails, phone numbers and names for screen-sharing • Users & permissions: roles, grants, who can write to each table, and RLS policies • Optional Face ID lock Find saved queries, dashboards and tables from Spotlight.

Agent HUD

Away from your desk while Claude Code or Codex works? Agent HUD brings your coding agents to iPhone and Apple Watch: a token ledger, the quota you have left, and every session as it runs. When an agent needs you, answer from your pocket or your wrist. TOKEN LEDGER Tokens for Claude Code, Codex, DeepSeek and the other agents on your Macs, over 5 hours, 24 hours or 7 days, by model and by kind. Today, the last 7 days and the last 30 days side by side, with cache hits, an estimate at each vendor's list price, and a heatmap of the hours your agents worked. QUOTAS AND BALANCES Every quota and when it resets, for Claude, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, Grok and more, with Codex resets and DeepSeek balances. Each card shows how fast you are using it and whether it will run out before the reset. REMOTE CONTROL When Claude Code or Codex asks to run a tool, has a question or proposes a plan, answer from iPhone or Apple Watch. Send the next prompt to a running session, or start a new one in a project on your Mac. REMOTE CONVERSATIONS Every running session across your Macs, with its model and tokens. Read recent conversations from Claude Code, Codex, DeepSeek Harness and Antigravity, down to each Codex subagent, and reply to Claude Code and Codex where you read. VOICE CODING Speak into a session's reply box, or record a note on Apple Watch. A speech model inside the app turns it into text on your iPhone, sentence by sentence, each sentence in its own language, across 30 languages. Your voice is never sent to a server. Every watch recording keeps its own page, and the sentence being spoken lights up as it plays. ON APPLE WATCH Quota rings, token charts and sessions on your wrist. Hear an agent's latest reply, answer its request, or say what comes next. An idea on a walk becomes a new Claude Code or Codex session on your Mac. AT A GLANCE Quota, balance and token widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen. Running sessions as Live Activities on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and in the Apple Watch Smart Stack. Alerts when a session finishes or a quota runs low. FREE TO CONNECT The iPhone and Apple Watch apps are free. On the same network, or over your own Tailscale, your iPhone shows your Mac's quotas, tokens and sessions with no subscription and no account. Agent HUD Remote adds every network, conversations, remote control, voice prompts, alerts and Live Activities, through your own iCloud: 1, 2 or 3 Macs, monthly or yearly, with a free first week for eligible subscribers. iPhone and Apple Watch never count toward the Mac limit. REQUIREMENTS Agent HUD on a Mac with macOS 14 or later, iOS 17 or later on iPhone and watchOS 10 or later on Apple Watch. Direct connection needs Mac app 0.4.39 or later; the Tailscale route and DeepSeek Harness conversations need 0.6.0 or later. Starting a session from iPhone or Apple Watch needs Mac app 0.5.5 or later. Remote sync needs the same Apple Account on your Mac and iPhone. Apple Watch works with a paired iPhone that has Agent HUD installed. Automatic Live Activities need iOS 18 or later; Live Activities in the Smart Stack need watchOS 11 or later. What you see depends on the tools and accounts connected on your Mac. Apple schedules background updates, widgets, notifications and Live Activities, so timing can vary. Agent HUD does not provide AI model access or run code on your phone. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
