Today a new project of mine has been released into the wild: iOctocat – a GitHub app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It is open source and available on the App Store…
Version 0.7.0 can already be downloaded, 0.8.1 is currently reviewed by Apple. Up to now these features are supported:
- My Private News Feed
- My Activity Feed
- Profile View
- My Repositories
- Repository Details
Version 0.8.1 will also display a list of recent commits on a repository and the commit details. Things like user following and repository watching are in the backlog, some of them require the new GitHub API to implement support therefor first (like the repository watchlist).
I’m still looking for some more beta testers and people who would like to review the app. If you are interested please mail your device UUID to ioctocat@dennisbloete.de. Participation from the developer front is also welcome – feel free to fork, add missing features or report issues

Hi Dennis,
This looks great! I hope it’ll do well on the AppStore. I released gittop a few months ago and it has hardly sold at all, maybe 150 copies all together. It doesn’t fart, I think that’s why it’s not doing well on the AppStore
Very nice move to opensource it. I’ll do the same with gittop soon and then offer it for free.
