Murmur BLE Shell

Features
Read full description

murmur turns your phone into a remote control for a Raspberry Pi — no Wi-Fi, no network setup, no port forwarding. Just Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), directly between your phone and the Pi. HOW IT WORKS Install the open-source murmur daemon on any Raspberry Pi running Linux, pair your phone with it over Bluetooth, and you get: • Shell mode — a real interactive terminal on the Pi, right from your phone. • Agent mode — describe what you want in plain English ("what's eating my disk space?", "set up a static IP") and an AI agent plans and runs the shell commands for you, showing every command and its output as it goes. BRING YOUR OWN API KEY Agent mode is powered by your own Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, or Google Gemini API key — entered once in Settings, stored only in your phone's secure keychain. murmur has no backend server and no account system. The only network calls it makes are the LLM requests you trigger yourself, using your own key. WORKS OFFLINE ON THE PI SIDE The Raspberry Pi never needs an internet connection. It just needs Bluetooth and the murmur daemon running. Good for headless boxes, home labs, and devices you'd rather not put on a network at all. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Everything murmur stores — the Bluetooth pairing key, your API key, an optional per-device sudo password, and saved agent conversations — stays on your phone in the OS-level secure store. One tap in Settings wipes it all. OPEN SOURCE Both the daemon and the app are open source: github.com/nekonihq/murmur

About

LL Pair

Read full description

Designed for LocationLab users, LL Pair helps you prepare Developer Mode and pair locally on an iPhone running iOS 27 or later. Export the resulting pairing file for use with LocationLab or other tools that support this format. LL Pair itself does not require those apps to be installed. If Developer Mode is missing from Settings, use the Show It option in LL Pair, then enable it in system Settings, restart, and confirm as iOS instructs. LL Pair cannot turn on the system switch for you. Once enabled, select the LL Pair pairing host in Settings and enter the code shown by the app. After pairing succeeds, send the file directly to a compatible version of LocationLab or export it to a destination you choose. Pairing credentials remain on this iPhone unless you explicitly send or export them. Keep the file secure. LL Pair does not provide location or VPN features and does not download a Developer Disk Image.
