Description

Gitalchemy is a free and open source GitLab client for Android phones and tablets. Review merge requests, triage issues and follow pipelines without opening a browser.

Features:
- Browse and search projects, groups and repositories
- View, create, edit and comment on issues, with filters by state, label and more
- Read merge request diffs, comment on any line, answer threads and approve
- Follow pipelines and jobs, read job logs, retry or cancel a pipeline
- Notifications for your GitLab to-dos, with a Mark done button, and no Firebase or Google services
- GitLab.com and self-hosted instances with a personal access token, several accounts at once
- Open GitLab links directly in the app
- App lock to protect your accounts

Privacy first:
No telemetry. No ads. No tracking. Your data stays on your device and goes only to your GitLab server.

Android only. Gitalchemy is not available for iOS or desktop.

What’s new (1.9.0)

- Your GitLab tokens are now stored encrypted with the Android Keystore and kept out of backups.
- Job logs no longer show boxes for terminal colour codes, and red text is easier to read.
