SVN Browser is a lightweight, read-only Subversion (SVN) repository browser and file-fetching tool for iPhone. Open your SVN repositories anytime, anywhere: ⢠Repository manager: supports svn://, http:// and https:// URLs; passwords are kept only in your device's Keychain. ⢠Directory browsing: clear folder tree with folders first, breadcrumb navigation back to any level, pull-to-refresh, and browsing pinned to any historical revision. ⢠Commit log: paged history (50 per page) showing author, time, message and changed paths (A/M/D/R/C) for every commit. ⢠Download & open: fetch any single file at a chosen revision (or the latest) with progress feedback, then hand it to other apps on your device. ⢠Privacy first: a pure read-only client with no write operations; file contents are never rendered in-app; no personal data is collected, no ads, no analytics SDKs. Files are opened through the system share sheet and handled by the third-party apps you choose.
