About

Marshal Stack

Features
Read full description

Marshal Stack is one screen for everything you have already shipped. Your apps in the App Store, the sites and APIs behind them, and the servers you run yourself โ€” all read by one rule: green is fine, amber needs a look, red is down. WHAT IT WATCHES โ€ข App Store โ€” rating, review count, latest version, and the release state: in review, rejected, ready for sale. โ€ข Sites and APIs โ€” checked every minute, with the latency next to the result. A notification arrives when an address stops answering twice in a row, and again when it recovers. โ€ข Your own servers โ€” CPU, memory, disk, load and the heaviest processes, reported by a small agent you install with one line on a machine you already own. โ€ข Alerts that say what to do, not only what broke โ€” memory over the threshold, a process running from /tmp, a port that was not open yesterday. YOUR KEYS, YOUR MACHINES Connect your own App Store Connect key, or none at all. The server agent dials out over HTTPS: it opens no port, reads no files, touches no databases, and uninstalls with one command. There is no registration form. Sign in with GitHub, or just open the app and look around on sample data bundled inside it โ€” no account, no keys, no network. ON THE WRIST The same three states on Apple Watch. A glance tells you whether anything needs you, and a tap opens the one thing that does. Free. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads, no third-party trackers.

About

.md viewer & editor

Features
Read full description

Tap a .md file and most apps give you raw text, or nothing at all. NanoFile opens it as the document it was written to be. EVERY TEXT FILE, NOT JUST MARKDOWN Markdown, plain text, code in 35 languages, JSON, YAML, CSV and HTML. 91 file types in all, each shown the way it should be: code is coloured, a spreadsheet becomes a table, an HTML file is read as a page rather than as tags. READ IT, THEN CHANGE IT Three views of the same document. The page, the source, or both side by side updating as you type. What you save goes back into the same file, where the rest of your tools can see it. OPENS WHAT IS ALREADY ON YOUR PHONE Pick a file in Files and it opens where it lies. Nothing is imported and no copy is kept, so what you save goes back to the same file in the same place. From Mail or Messages, tap the attachment, then the share icon, then NanoFile. On an iPad the folder sits beside the document, and a keyboard works every shortcut. CONVERTS, ON THE DEVICE PDF, Word and spreadsheets become markdown. Markdown becomes HTML, Word, or a PDF through the print panel. Nothing is uploaded to do it. READS A PUBLIC REPOSITORY Paste a GitHub address and browse the tree. No account and no token. A folder of notes, an Obsidian vault or a checked-out repository opens the same way, without importing or copying anything. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE No account. No sign-in. No analytics, no tracking, no identifier. The page the renderer runs on carries a content security policy that makes a network request impossible. The single feature that uses a network, opening a public repository, says so on the screen where it happens. ALL OF IT, FOR NOTHING Every file type, editing, Quick Look, the default handler, mermaid diagrams, the reading themes, the converters, and the folder tools: convert a folder in one go, find and replace across it with a preview first and one undo for the lot, check every file, rename a file and move every link with it, and keep several folders open at once. No account, no subscription, no in-app purchase.
