Introducing a free coding agent that runs locally on your iPhone - FreeMilk
- Free daily allowance of coding models: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, GPT 6 Luna, and GLM 5.3 Flash (will add more)
- Reads and writes files on-device with local git support
- GitHub integration to clone repos, check CI/CD logs and more.
- Connect to MCP servers straight from your iPhone, your credentials and keys stay on-device.
- Start multiple on-device agents at once in the background that can run for minutes or even hours. No remote control or cloud sandboxes needed.
- Built in on-device web browser that agent can take control when in foreground (still work-in-progress)
- Connect with your personal data on iPhone, such as Photos, Calendar, Reminders, and more.
Another service launched that’s very similar to @sqim_app… so glad this trick has really taken off :)
There are thousands of builds already uploaded on Sqim and being used by devs every day!
Trying the new Cursor iOS app with Sqim on my demo Xcode project. Cursor running tests, then sharing screenshots and recordings is cool, but it’s even more helpful if it can send you a direct install link so you can test right away. And that’s what Sqim does!
In just one week, we crossed 100 users, who have collectively uploaded hundreds of builds using Sqim! 🥳
We don’t even have proper metrics collection to accurately figure out DAUs, but our server is blowing up with tens of thousands of requests already!!
It’s so great to see how Sqim is integrating into people’s workflows so well already! Here’s one…
(Thanks for all the amazing feedback, please keep them coming! I’ve more plans to take this even further, will share more soon! :)
Wow didn't expect all the love and amazing feedback for Sqim! Thank you!!
Just wanted to talk a bit more about how it works and address a few FAQs:
1) Builds are signed using your own dev certificates and bundled with your own dev provisioning profiles. So only iPhones registered with your Apple dev ID can install the build. That’s an iOS level restriction.
2) Whenever a build is uploaded through Sqim (with or without code changes), a new temporary install web page is created which expires in 30 min.
3) For convenience, you can still access your builds and install later from Sqim's web portal. In the future, we may have to also expire these if storage capacity becomes an issue.
4) What gets uploaded are .ipa files which means we can't see your source code (so dw, your data cannot be sold or seen because we don’t have it :)
Introducing Sqim - a free tool that lets you sign and upload your iOS project binaries, and serve temporary web pages to sideload on your iPhone straight from Codex Mobile. This closes the feedback loop in your mobile agentic iOS development workflows on any network without requiring tailscale, VPN, or simulator streaming hacks!
