iOS Dev Tools: DevScroll, FeaturesKit, HeC - Unofficial Hetzner Cloud
The best tools at your fingertips.
Hello! 👋
My friend Damjan (Damjan Dabo, for those who don’t know him) and his wife are launching a SaaS called ReleaseRocket 🚀
ReleaseRocket helps fast-moving SaaS teams turn product updates into clear, consistent announcements that drive visibility, engagement, and retention, without slowing down the build flow.
Join the waitlist HERE! 📍
Let’s connect on X (ex-Twitter) & LinkedIn! 🤝
Build Hub: Premium Mac Infrastructure for GitHub Actions
Keep GitHub Actions for CI orchestration. Run on M4 Pros from Bitrise. No migration, zero maintenance: just faster builds.
M4 Pro machines with same-day Xcode updates.
Pre-warmed VMs with iOS toolchains ready to go.
30-50% faster builds vs GitHub Hosted Runners.
DevScroll
DevScroll is an iOS productivity app designed specifically for developers who struggle with consistent coding habits.
It locks distracting apps on your iPhone until you make a GitHub commit, turning your contribution graph into the unlock key. No timers, no willpower required just ship code to regain access to social media and other time-wasting apps.
Why you will like it:
Locks distracting apps (Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, etc.) until you push code to GitHub, forcing accountability through actual output rather than just “focus time.”
No login or OAuth required—simply connect your GitHub username and the app monitors your public contribution graph to verify commits.
Works with private repositories when you enable “private contributions” in your GitHub settings, so all your work counts toward unlocking apps.
Built using iOS Screen Time API for robust app blocking that can’t be easily bypassed, ensuring you stay committed to coding.
Resets daily at midnight to build consistent daily coding habits and maintain your GitHub streak.
Features a customizable virtual desk space and contribution calendar to visualize your coding consistency and progress over time.
FeaturesKit
FeaturesKit provides developers for Apple platforms with the ability to display a list of configured features in their apps with just a few lines of code and has been designed to mimic the style of built-in Apple screens. This enables you to share new features available in the current version or present a welcome message to new users.
Why you will like it:
Simple setup with SPM (Swift Package Manager).
Add multiple feature items to show in a list (similar to Apple apps).
Customise each item with icons & tint colours.
Perform actions when continuing.
Optimised across every Apple platform.
HeC - Unofficial Hetzner Cloud
HeC is a native iOS client for managing your Hetzner Cloud infrastructure.
Built entirely with SwiftUI, it lets you create servers, manage networks, monitor metrics, and keep your infrastructure secure, all from your iPhone or iPad.
No web browser, no laptop required.
Why you will like it:
View and manage all servers, volumes, networks, firewalls, and load balancers from your pocket.
Real-time CPU, disk I/O, and network metrics with interactive charts.
100% native SwiftUI with no web views, no wrappers, just a fast fluid experience.
API keys stored securely in iOS Keychain and never leave your device.
Face ID and Touch ID authentication for secure access.
Premium tier unlocks full read-write management: create/delete servers, power controls, VNC console, and more.
CodexBar
CodexBar keeps session + weekly limits (and credits) in the menu bar, so you know when you're safe to ship.
VPN Bypass
Automatically routes specific domains and services around your VPN, ensuring they use your regular internet connection.
