# Firedeck

> Firedeck is a native iPhone and iPad app for managing Firebase projects — the Firebase Console, redesigned for iOS. It covers 14 Firebase services and is fully client-side: no backend, no proxy, no token server; every request goes directly from the device to Google's first-party Firebase APIs using the user's own Google sign-in.

Key facts:
- Platform: iOS and iPadOS (universal app), built natively in SwiftUI.
- Download: https://apps.apple.com/app/firedeck-firebase-client/id6770333049
- Deep support (browse + write): Firestore, Authentication, Cloud Storage, Remote Config, Cloud Functions, Cloud Messaging.
- Also supported: Realtime Database, Hosting, Extensions, Security Rules, App Distribution, IAM, App Check, Cloud Logging.
- The Deck: a home screen of live widgets from any project and any service (feature flags, release status, user counts).
- Pricing: free to download; reading and browsing every service is free. Firedeck Pro unlocks write/admin actions: $29.99/year (7-day free trial), $5.99/month, or $69.99 lifetime.
- Security: no backend, tokens stay on the device, granular per-capability OAuth scopes, confirmation before destructive actions.
- Built by Adam Gelatka, an iOS engineer, to manage his own indie projects.
