I made a native iOS client for Ansible Semaphore – looking for feedback

I’ve been using Ansible Semaphore for a while, and I realized that whenever I was away from my computer I kept opening the web UI from my phone just to check whether a deployment had finished, look at a failed job, or quickly rerun a template.
The web interface works, but I wanted something faster, more mobile-friendly, and always in my pocket. So I started building a native iPhone app for myself.
After using it daily for a few months, I decided to publish it on the App Store in case it could be useful to other Semaphore users as well.
At the moment it supports things like:
Browsing projects and templates
Launching task templates
Monitoring running and completed jobs
Viewing and searching execution logs
Sharing logs for troubleshooting
It connects directly to your own Semaphore instance using your personal API token.

There’s no external service involved.
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/it/app/semaphore-remote/id6782102335

I’m curious to hear from other Semaphore users:
What features are missing that would make this genuinely useful?
Are there pain points in the Semaphore web UI that you’d like a mobile app to solve?
Is there anything you’d want to manage from your phone that isn’t possible today?
I’d love to keep improving it based on real-world workflows rather than just my own. Thanks!
