Minos PR Inbox iOS 17+

One inbox for your pull requests — GitHub and every Gitea, Forgejo, or Codeberg server you use, including self-hosted instances on your own network. Review the diff, read the conversation, check CI, comment, approve, request changes, and merge — from your phone, in seconds.

What it does

• Every host, one queue — GitHub and Gitea-family servers side by side, split into needs your review / yours / open.
• Real reviews — full diffs with per-file paging, line-level comments, CI check results with failure detail, and merge / squash / rebase.
• Private by design — tokens live in your phone's Keychain and go only to the server they belong to. No account, no analytics, no middleman.
• Push notifications, your infrastructure — a new-PR buzz via a webhook relay you run yourself (Cloudflare Worker, AWS Lambda, and Azure Functions templates included).

Get it

Free on the App Store (in review — link goes live when Apple approves), or build from source:

brew install xcodegen
git clone https://github.com/botelle/minos && cd minos/ios
xcodegen generate && open Minos.xcodeproj

AGPL-3.0 licensed at github.com/botelle/minos — use it freely, but derivatives (including hosted versions) must stay open source. The repo also has an optional self-hosted proxy for reaching a git server that isn't on the internet.

LightsOut macOS 13+

A tiny menubar app: turn the display off now — or on a timer — while the Mac keeps running. For when your laptop is your always-on workstation: too much running on it to let it sleep, but no reason to keep the screen lit.

What it does

• Display Off Now — screen goes dark immediately; every job, server, and download keeps running.
• Lights out in N minutes — type a number, get a countdown in the menubar. Your last three durations are saved as one-click buttons.
• Keep Mac Awake — blocks system sleep while still allowing the display to sleep, using a native macOS power assertion.
• Launch at Login — optional, one checkbox.

No dock icon, no windows, no admin password required.

Install with Homebrew (recommended)

brew install --cask botelle/tap/lightsout

Then launch it once from Applications — the crossed-out lightbulb appears in your menubar. Updates: brew upgrade --cask lightsout.

Install by download

1. Download the latest LightsOut-x.y.z.zip from the releases page.
2. Unzip it and drag LightsOut.app into your Applications folder.
3. Open it. The app is signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple, so it opens without security warnings.

MIT licensed, single Swift file, built with swiftc — no Xcode project. Read it in five minutes at github.com/botelle/lightsout.

Nauti Husky iOS · macOS · watchOS source-only

A swim-conditions app for people who swim with their dogs: nearby swim spots, water temperature, tides, forecast, lightning risk, and a best-time score — rendered as one glanceable verdict per spot, with dog-cooling bands for the water temp.

The interesting part is the architecture: zero-backend. The app ships with a static catalog of free public endpoints (NOAA, NWS, OpenStreetMap) and every install checks them itself. No server, no API key, no account, no bill. The write-up: The app checks itself.

Get it

Source-only for now — build it with Xcode in two commands:

brew install xcodegen
git clone https://github.com/botelle/nauti-husky && cd nauti-husky
xcodegen generate && open NautiHuskyTemp.xcodeproj

MIT licensed at github.com/botelle/nauti-husky. Curated spots are seeded for coastal Connecticut; adding your own region is one entry in a Swift file.
