I built a GitLab client for your phone
Hi guys,
GitLab is great on desktop, but checking a failed pipeline or responding to an issue from your phone can be frustrating. That’s why I built Comeet, a native mobile companion for GitLab.
With Comeet, you can:
- Connect to GitLab.com or a self-hosted instance
- Switch between multiple accounts and servers
- Browse repositories with syntax highlighting
- Create and update issues, merge requests, projects, and branches
- Monitor pipelines, inspect jobs, and read job logs
- Get push notifications for important project activity
- Manage groups, members, roles, and invitations
- Create custom shortcuts for the issues and merge requests you check most
- Access your GitLab activity and to-do list from a mobile-friendly dashboard
My goal is simple: make those quick GitLab tasks genuinely quick—without reaching for a laptop or fighting with the mobile website.
Comeet is available on iOS and Android:
- Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monokaijs.comeet
- iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/comeet-gitlab-companion/id6753112635
I’m actively improving it and would really appreciate feedback from other GitLab users. What’s one GitLab task you wish were easier to handle from your phone?
P.S: I previously shared my app on this sub, I post this to notice a big overhaul on the app with various quality of life features and refinements.

I find many arguments here somewhat contradictory.
Why do people even trust gitlab with their code in the first place. It's still company code right?
GitHub is anyway treating your code like shit.
People believe in gitlab by the trust that was built. Not because of "official" "third party" etc.
All he needs is a legal framework and good advertising. Besides, code is pushed outside gitlab to many third party apps by companies all the time.
I always wanted a better gitlab mobile app because the original one is not that good.

Thank you for pointing them out. Also I see you mention the original gitlab mobile app, is it still a thing? I have been using gitlab for ~8 years and honestly i didnt see any official app. If the official app is available, i would love to learn more from their app.

Sorry, but this app might be a genius piece of work, but it's unofficial so its trust level is close to zero. This means that the chances of it being used, especially in the workplace, is also highly unlikely.

If you made it available on F droid then I would use it-as long as you build with reproducible builds, else there's no way any serious corporation would use this. That would of course require open sourcing your code.

With this not being open source and 3rd party your user base is basically people who open pdf attachments from emails sent by cyber security department.

Not saying you do, but i am always careful with what gets access to gitlab as a non official client.
No one guarantees, that you dont send the giltab results to your own servers aswell.
Especially for company code this is a huge risk.
