RuntimeBrief vs Röle

RuntimeBrief turns activity from your local coding agents and repositories into short, evidence-backed project updates. Connect the app to the RuntimeBrief daemon running on your Mac to see what changed, what is still in progress, and what needs your attention. Each claim links back to its supporting commit, working-tree scan, or agent session. Features: • A concise portfolio brief across your registered projects • Evidence-backed project status and recent agent activity • Native Claude Code, Codex and Cursor tasks in registered projects with model and permission choices and provider-supported native handoff • Optional, on-demand analyst answers through your own Codex CLI login • Local Xcode, TestFlight, and App Store release summaries • Siri and Shortcuts access to project status • Saved briefs when your Mac is temporarily unavailable • A fully offline fictional demo requiring no account or server RuntimeBrief has no hosted account, analytics SDK, advertising SDK, or public cloud relay. Live project data stays under your control on your Mac and private network. Optional analyst processing follows the data controls of the ChatGPT workspace selected in Codex CLI. Native tasks use your existing provider login and follow that provider's account policies and the selected tool permissions. A Mac running runtimebriefd is required for live project data. The in-app demo can be explored without installing or configuring anything. Native tasks require the selected coding agent installed and signed in on that Mac. Provider-supported handoff also requires the corresponding native desktop app.

Röle — API testing that stays on your device Röle is a lightweight, local-only API client for testing REST endpoints. There's no account to create, no sign-in screen, and no backend server in between — Röle talks directly to the APIs you point it at, and everything you build stays in plain files on your device. Send any request Full support for GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD, and OPTIONS. Edit headers, query params, and body with a dedicated editor, then inspect the response — status, timing, size, and a formatted body — the moment it comes back. Stay organized Group related requests into collections. Set up environments for dev, staging, and production, and swap between them with variables like {{baseUrl}} instead of editing URLs by hand. Automate your testing Collection Runner — fire off every request in a collection in sequence and get a pass/fail summary Flows — chain requests together, pass one response into the next, and add delays between steps Tests — add assertions (like status code checks) that run automatically against every response History — every request you send is saved locally, so nothing gets lost Bring your existing work Import a Postman or Röle workspace as JSON, with conflict handling if names collide. Export your workspace anytime to back it up or move it to another device. Built to stay out of your way A clean Material 3 interface with light, dark, and system theme support. Runs the same on phone or desktop. Why local-only? Because your API keys, staging URLs, and test data are yours. Röle doesn't sync to a server, doesn't require login, and doesn't send your requests anywhere except the endpoint you're testing. Röle means "relay" in Turkish — the app relays requests and responses between you and your services, nothing more.
