  • It’s free to test, and nobody’s obligated to anything, it’s entirely down to people who actually want to. Beta testers get the full app and all the Pro features for free, during the beta and after as a thank you. That’s just how beta testing works, people who run this stack and are curious get early access and help shape it, and they get the paid product for nothing in return.

    Calling that a job advert is a stretch. It’s an optional beta with a free product attached, not unpaid labour. If it’s not for you, no worries, just scroll past







  • It’s a paid closed-source app, so no, the repo’s not public, same as most paid apps on the store. This community leans open source and that’s fair, but “not open source” and “AI slop” are two completely different accusations and you’re mashing them together.

    Yeah, I used AI to help with the site, because I’m a sysadmin, not a marketer, I don’t know the first thing about landing pages and I’m not going to pretend I do. The app is a different story. I’ve been in IT 11 years. I run this exact stack myself, every day, and I built this because I was sick of bouncing between web UIs on my phone. The architecture is mine: pure client-side, credentials in the Secure Enclave, no backend, nothing in the middle touching anyone’s logins. The testing is mine too, I’ve spent entire nights debugging connection bugs that only ever show up on real hardware, a qBittorrent cookie issue and an ATS quirk that silently breaks Tailscale, the kind of thing no “vibe code” ever finds because it requires actually understanding the stack and testing it properly.

    So by all means, don’t buy it if closed source is a dealbreaker, that’s a totally legitimate call. But “fuck off” and “shilling” aimed at someone who’s answered every single question here honestly says more about you than it does about the app. I’m happy to talk to anyone engaging in good faith. You’re clearly not.



  • LunaSea was brilliant but it’s been discontinued since April last year, the repo’s archived and it’s gone from the App Store. Mine’s a new native iOS app covering a lot of the same ground, and the main difference is it’s actively maintained, I’m here building and supporting it. Being straight though: LunaSea was free and open source and mine’s paid, so if free’s a dealbreaker there are community forks like Zagreus keeping that going. I’m going for a more polished native take with ongoing support :)
