Platform: iOS & watchOS
Technology: Swift
Current Status: Actively Developed
This app was an offshoot of the Trailer.app desktop project, and is based on the same codebase. Not only is it useful as an accessory to Trailer for many developers worldwide, but it is a great exercise in maintaining a multi-platform code base for a product. It's biggest strength lies in its extremely lightweight profile, both in size but also in performance. It can run all day in the background on your iPhone and won't even register on the battery usage chart in Settings. Another point of pride is that it contains every other feature from Trailer.app.
