Access Git repositories on the go. Clone, edit, commit and push while allowing other apps access to repositories. Git is a important part of our work-life and iOS can take part in this. The ability to commit even when offline has added utility on a device that moves in and out of network coverage. Cloning repositories gets you a local copy on your iOS device with commits for all branches. You can browse the content from within the app and make changes. Other applications supporting the Files app, WebDAV or x-callback-url has access to these files. Changes made can be committed and the commits can in turn be pushed back to the remote. The idea of doing significant programming on iOS might seem far fetched when you are used to a large screen, a physical keyboard and a full IDE. But just as it turned out that not every email is serious prose, then not everything that goes on in Git is significant programming. Sometimes you just want to update a TODO file or make adjustments to your Jekyll site. Sometimes you just need to add a file the designer sent after hours. If you ever make reminders about small things to do with the code-base, then you should give Working Copy a try. You will spend less time moving stuff around and you will get much better commit messages when you write them for fixes that are still fresh in your mind. You won't be leaving your computer behind any time soon, but sometimes it is faster to just fix things with the device in your hand. When you do need to perform real work on iOS, Working Copy is a powerful tool. Editor has syntax highlighting for more than 50 programming languages and a built-in color picker. Preview images, Markdown and HTML files with a Javascript console pointing to errors in your code. Create new branches and merge or rebase them back, with a brilliant merge-tool for handling conflicts. If you need to automate your work there are Working Copy actions in the Shortcuts app for most operations. Even if you never edit a line of code on iOS, Working Copy is a great companion for reviewing and discussing code. Repositories are cross indexed and with powerful fuzzy search you can quickly jump from a symbol to the declaration or reverse from the declaration to all usages. A graph of your commits lets you zoom out for a overview of the commit tree or zoom in for specifics about each commit, with speed and beauty you won’t find in desktop Git applications. Review the changes your files have gone through with a diff viewer that is great for text and images. There is even hex-dump mode for that obscure occasion. Working Copy is a free download but you need to unlock pro features such as the ability to push commits and manage more than 5 repositories. There is no venture capital, large company or ads funding development and your support through in-app purchase directly sustains development. Try out pro features with a 10 day free trial. When you pay to unlock you get permanent access to all pro features at the time of purchase as well as any added the next year. When 12 months have passed you keep all existing pro features but any new ones introduced are locked until you renew your unlock.

About

Panegrip

Features
Read full description

Coding agents get stuck the moment you step away: a command waiting for approval, a question about the design, a choice between two fixes. Panegrip sends that moment to your iPhone, so the work keeps going while you're on the train, in a meeting or making coffee. It works with the agents already running on your computer, such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi and Kimi, wherever you run them: Herdr, Orca, T3 Code, tmux, zellij, cmux, Ghostty or VS Code. Nothing moves to the cloud. Your agents stay where they are, and your phone becomes a second screen for them. ANSWER WITHOUT UNLOCKING When an agent wants to run a command, the notification shows it with Allow and Deny. Tap one on the lock screen and the computer has your answer within milliseconds. Questions with options come as buttons, and you can always type or say your own answer instead. "Always allow" covers exactly that one command, nothing broader. THE REAL SESSION Each chat is the agent's own session, live as it writes: its messages, the commands it ran and the files it touched. When you need more, open the terminal itself, with Esc, Tab, Ctrl and the arrow keys a tap away. GIVE IT THE NEXT JOB Start an agent in any project, in a new folder, a fresh clone or a worktree of its own. Type the task or dictate it. Queue up the next prompts and each one goes out as soon as the agent is free. If you hit your plan's limit at 2 a.m., the work picks back up the moment it resets. Siri, Shortcuts and the Action button can start a task without opening the app. SEE HOW THINGS STAND A Live Activity shows who is working, who is waiting for you and who is done. You get the 5-hour and weekly limits of every Claude and Codex account, tokens and cost by model and by day, and a short digest of what happened while you were away. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There's no account and no tracking. Your phone connects straight to your computer whenever the network allows, encrypted end to end. When it can't, our relay forwards packets it has no way to read. Notification text is encrypted on your computer, so our push service never sees it either. WHAT YOU NEED A Mac or a Linux computer with your agents, plus the Panegrip relay, which installs with one command from panegrip.dev. The app is free, with no subscription. You can open the demo first and look around without a computer.

Verdict

The call

Git client's advantage is chart position (#12 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (18.2 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
