Working copies on your device, an iPad code browser, and native Mermaid
- Working copies — keep a repository on your iPhone or iPad, edit locally, sync and push, resolve conflicts, link a folder from Files, and commit with one tap to open a pull request.
- iPad — layouts built for iPad: resizable columns, a tabbed dock, and a code browser with tabs, Quick Open, landscape editing, and a file tree beside the file you have open.
- Markdown — Mermaid diagrams in READMEs, issues, pull requests, and wiki pages render in the app, with tappable links, callouts, and faster loading on large documents.
- Account and server — SSH connections and keys, OAuth2 applications you manage, avatars for you, organizations, and repositories, and push mirror sync; organization teams, webhooks on one screen, and more admin tools when your account can reach them.
- Pull requests and stacks — a merge-train view with checks and reviews at a glance, merge the next pull request with a tap, and conversation layouts tuned for iPhone Duo and iPad.
Fixes
- Working copies: when push is rejected, choose pull, compare, or overwrite; undo on a conflict choice puts the conflict back.
- Markdown: links to your own server stay in the app instead of opening Safari.
- Files: line numbers stay aligned with the text while you edit a file.
- Actions: runs still in progress, and runs with skipped steps, show every step’s log again.
- Languages: more of the app in Spanish, French, and Chinese.

Open in GitBoba from Gitea or Forgejo
Add gitboba:// links on your Gitea or Forgejo instance so teammates jump from the browser into the native app — repos, pull requests, issues, and Actions. Share-sheet support opens instance URLs from Safari without building links by hand.
Zero data collected.
Ever.
GitBoba is a client — nothing more. It connects your device directly to your server, with no middlemen and no telemetry.
Keychain-secured credentials
Your server URL and API token live exclusively in the iOS Keychain — hardware-backed, sandboxed, and never transmitted anywhere.
Direct connection only
Every network request goes straight from your device to your Gitea or Forgejo instance. No proxy, no relay, no developer-operated servers in between.
No analytics or tracking
Zero analytics SDKs, crash reporters, or ad frameworks. What you do in the app stays entirely on your device.
