GLab — Client for GitLab

Review, approve and merge from your phone — on gitlab.com or your company's self-hosted GitLab. GLab is a fast, native iPhone client for developers who ship on the go. You assemble the Home screen yourself, so it shows only the work waiting on you.

Works with gitlab.com and any self-hosted GitLab (CE or EE, 14.x+). Connect multiple instances and switch in one tap. One-tap gitlab.com sign-in; guided setup for your own server or token.

• WHAT YOU CAN DO —

A Home screen you assemble

• Up to eight modules: review requests, your MRs, issues, todos, failed, active and recent pipelines, recent projects
• Every section renders as a list or a carousel; content, order and density are yours to set
• Developer, Reviewer and Lead / DevOps presets rebuild Home in one tap
• A status line: signals awaiting you, offline and unsent state
• Swipe actions right in the lists: approve, merge, close an issue, retry or cancel a pipeline, snooze for a day

Merge Requests

• Full diff viewer with syntax highlighting and word-level changes
• Comment on lines; threaded discussions — reply, resolve, edit
• Apply suggestions from a review straight into the code
• Create MRs; edit title, description, labels, assignees, milestone
• Approve, unapprove, merge, rebase, close, reopen

Issues

• Create, comment, close, reopen, lock
• Edit title, description, labels, assignees, milestones, due dates
• Emoji reactions, subscribe, search across all projects

CI/CD Pipelines

• Active builds across all your projects right on the Home screen
• Live status with stages, jobs and duration in the list
• Run a pipeline on any branch; retry, cancel, play manual jobs
• Raw build logs refreshing live; environments, deployments and runners

Repository

• Browse the file tree, view blobs with highlighting, line history (blame)
• Create/delete files; branches and tags, compare diffs, commit history
• Wiki, Snippets and Releases — browse and edit; README rendering

Todos, groups and Ops

• Unified todo inbox by project and action; mark-all-done and swipe actions
• Activity feed, GitLab status, group list drilling into projects
• CI/CD variables, schedules, runners, environments, registry (Maintainer+)
• Project members — add, change access level, remove

• FAST AND OFFLINE —

Merge requests and issues are ready on Home from cache, even offline. Pipelines and job logs update live, then pause in the background to save battery.

• MULTI-INSTANCE BY DESIGN —

Every project, MR, issue and pipeline is scoped to its GitLab instance — gitlab.com never mixes with self-hosted, even with matching issue numbers.

• PRIVACY AND SECURITY —

• Personal Access Token and OAuth 2.0 PKCE sign-in
• Tokens stored only in the Keychain, on this device
• Tokens, emails, URLs and response bodies are never logged or sent to analytics
• Anonymous analytics/crash reports — no personal data, no ad IDs
• Privacy policy: https://gitlab.com/appstore-demo/glab/-/blob/main/PRIVACY.md

• FREE AND PRO —

GLab is free for read-only browsing of unlimited projects. Optional Pro subscription (auto-renewing, 3/6/12 months) unlocks:

• Multiple connected GitLab accounts
• Create issues and MRs; comment on diff lines, apply suggestions, edit, react
• Repository editing — files, branches, tags
• Approve/merge MRs; run, retry, cancel pipelines; manage CI/CD variables

Charged to your Apple ID; auto-renews unless cancelled 24h before period end.

• NATIVE ON iPhone —

iOS 18 and later. 100% SwiftUI, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, light and dark themes.

Widgets (Home Screen, Lock Screen, StandBy) show your MRs, todos and pipelines at a glance. Siri Shortcuts open a project hands-free. Apple Watch mirrors your review queue, todos and pipelines.

GLab 1.3.3 — merging works again, and buttons show what is happening.

FIXED

• Merging and closing merge requests from the app works again: tapping now shows a confirmation and sends the request
• Action buttons show progress while a request runs, and errors show a clear message from GitLab, such as missing permissions or a changed merge request
• The Merge button is no longer blocked while GitLab rechecks whether a merge request can be merged
• If new commits land while you review, GLab won't merge the outdated version — it refreshes and lets you know
• Projects and search load on GitLab servers that leave out some fields

Pro: approve, merge, retry jobs, move board cards. Free is read-only.
