kube-coder mobile is the companion app for kube-coder, an open-source, self-hosted cloud development platform (github.com/imran31415/kube-coder). If you run a kube-coder workspace, this app lets you drive it from anywhere. CONNECT IN SECONDS Point the app at your workspace host and paste the API token from your dashboard (Settings โ Mobile app). No account, no sign-up โ the app talks directly to your own server, and the token is stored securely on your device. Just looking? Tap "Explore the public demo" on the first screen to browse a read-only demo workspace โ no token needed. WHAT YOU CAN DO โข Tasks โ start a coding task for your AI assistant, follow the live session, and send follow-ups when it needs input. Active work up front; finished tasks tucked under Done. โข Live terminal โ the task view renders your workspace's real terminal, the same session the web dashboard shows. โข Apps โ see the dev servers running in your workspace and open them in-app. Split the screen to watch your app change while the assistant works on it. โข Desktop โ your one-tap launchers (build prompts, URLs, shell commands), shared with the web dashboard. โข Memory โ browse what your workspace remembers. โข Metrics โ live CPU, memory, and disk, plus service health. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No analytics. No third-party services. The app connects only to the workspace host you configure, over HTTPS, using your token. kube-coder itself is open source โ read the code, run your own, or try the demo: github.com/imran31415/kube-coder
HeaderX

HeaderX injects custom HTTP request headers into your Safari browsing session โ the essential companion for web developers, API testers, and QA engineers. Point HeaderX at your development environment, define your headers once, and flip them on whenever you need them. No proxy setup, no configuration files, no leaving the browser. DEFINE HEADERS AS JSON Describe your headers in a simple JSON editor โ paste an entire set at once: {"X-Debug-Mode": "enabled", "Authorization": "Bearer dev-token"} Or use the array format to keep headers saved but individually switched off. TWO VIEWS, ONE TOGGLE Edit as raw JSON or flip to List view, where every header gets its own checkbox. The master toggle in the corner turns everything on or off instantly โ your configuration stays saved either way. REUSABLE PROFILES Save named header sets โ one per project, environment, or test scenario โ and switch between them in two clicks. FEATURES โข One-tap master toggle โข JSON editor and checkbox list views โข Per-header enable/disable โข Named profiles for quick switching โข Settings persist across browser restarts โข Works in Private Browsing (optional) GOOD TO KNOW Standard header names (Authorization, Accept-Language, User-Agent, and other HTTP-spec headers) are applied to all requests through Safari's native rule engine. Custom header names (X-My-Header and similar) are applied to fetch and XHR requests made by web pages โ a Safari platform constraint on custom names in network rules. For typical API-debugging workflows, this covers exactly the requests you care about. Headers apply to every site while the toggle is on โ remember to switch off when you're done testing, especially with authentication headers. PRIVACY FIRST Everything stays on your device. HeaderX collects no data, phones home to no one, and contains no analytics. What you configure is nobody's business but yours.
