Octodoge GitHub Companion
Read full descriptionHide full description
Octodoge GitHub Companion is a native iOS app for browsing GitHub on your iPhone — repos, profiles, commits, Issues, Pull Requests, Actions, and activity — without opening a browser. SEARCH & EXPLORE Find users and repositories, then browse branches, tags, forks, directories, and source files. Search for branches and tags. Create a tag on a branch, tag, or commit. Read READMEs with rendered markdown, images, and embedded video. COMMITS & CODE View commit history, inspect changes, and read syntax-highlighted diffs in a layout built for mobile. ISSUES Open a repository’s Issues to browse open and closed issues, sort the list, search, and read an issue’s summary and comments. Close or reopen issues. PULL REQUESTS Open a repository’s Pull Requests to browse open and closed PRs, search, follow the discussion, inspect commits and file diffs, and see checks. Close or reopen a pull request, and delete or restore its branch. Mark a pull request as ready or as draft, and merge when GitHub reports it clean (merge, squash, or rebase, as the repository allows). ACTIONS Open a repository’s Actions to browse workflow runs, filter by workflow and status, then drill into jobs, steps, and logs. Re-run or cancel a run, and open prior attempts. STARRED Open Starred to browse every repository you’ve starred, then jump into code, Issues, Pull Requests, and Actions. YOUR PULL REQUESTS Open Pull Requests to browse every pull request you’ve opened, then jump into the conversation, files, commits, and checks. YOUR INBOX Open your inbox to browse your GitHub notifications, then jump into Issues, Pull Requests, and commits. STAY UP TO DATE Your News Feed shows recent GitHub activity from people and repositories you follow. Filter events to focus on what matters. YOUR PROFILE Sign in with GitHub to see your public and private repositories, search them, follow or unfollow users, and star or unstar repos. Create a repository with a name, description, private or public visibility, and an optional README. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Octodoge uses GitHub OAuth. Your access token is stored in the iOS Keychain on your device. The app talks directly to the GitHub API — there is no Octodoge backend collecting your data. Octodoge is not affiliated with GitHub, Inc.
NativeX
Read full descriptionHide full description
NativeX is a visual playground for Apple's on-device intelligence — build prompt pipelines as a graph of cards, wire them together with variables, and run them right on your iPhone. Built for iOS engineers, prompt engineers, and the AI-curious: if you want to know what Apple's on-device model can actually do, this is the fastest way to find out. FREE AND PRIVATE Every run executes on the Apple foundation model that ships with your device. No account, no API key, no server: prompts, photos, and recordings never leave your iPhone, and inference costs nothing. LEARN THE REAL API Every card mirrors one Apple framework call and names the exact Swift symbol — LanguageModelSession, NLTokenizer, RecognizeTextRequest, SpeechTranscriber, etc. Configure it in the inspector, run it, read the output. What you learn transfers line-for-line to Xcode. BUILD PROMPT PIPELINES • Prompt groups assemble instructions, few-shot examples, history, and the curreturn into a single transcript • Guided generation: constrain output to JSON with registered schemas, or design your own schema on the fly — no rebuild • 17 native ops: tokenize, detect language, named entities, sentiment, OCR a photo, read a barcode, transcribe speech, speak text aloud, regex, JSON extraction, and more. Wait for more! • Human-in-the-loop pauses: type or dictate an answer mid-run EVALUATE LIKE A PRO — LLM OPS, ON-DEVICE NativeX brings the modern LLM-ops workflow — observability, datasets, evaluations — to the model in your pocket: • Run History logs every execution as a step-level trace — assembled prompt, output, timing, token estimates • Datasets batch-run a graph over a table of records, sequential or parallel • LLM-as-judge scoring runs on-device too • Re-run, reproduce, and compare past runs REQUIREMENTS NativeX runs the Apple Intelligence on-device model. That requires an iPhone 15 Pro or newer (A17 Pro chip or later) on iOS 26 or later, with Apple Intelligence enabled in Settings.
