About

Supamate

Features
Read full description

Supamate is an independent, read-only iPhone companion for Supabase developers. When you are away from your desk, Supamate helps you answer the questions that matter: - Is my project healthy? - What happened in the recent logs? - Does the expected row or Auth user exist? - Are my Edge Functions and Storage buckets configured as expected? WHAT'S INSIDE - Project overview and service health at a glance - Recent logs with pause, refresh, filtering, and copy/share - Read-only schema, table, and row previews with RLS visibility - Auth user search and read-only detail - Edge Function and Storage bucket inventories - Demo mode to explore instantly — no account required Built for independent developers and small teams, Supamate connects directly to Supabase using a Personal Access Token stored in the iOS Keychain. Project data is never proxied through Supamate servers. Strictly read-only by design: Supamate never edits database rows, executes SQL, administers users, uploads or deletes files, or deploys functions. Free includes one project and the complete core read-only experience. Supamate Pro unlocks multiple projects, advanced log filters, saved views, and export.
