# Menlo documentation > Menlo distributes public GitHub iOS apps with menloapp deploy and menloapp try. Share an exact-version link; the recipient reviews source and builds/signs on their own Mac for their intended iPhone. ADR 0040 defines GitHub distribution, ADR 0043 defines app-first versus fresh-start setup, and ADR 0044 defines version links and non-inheriting GitHub source reviews. The directory is centralized. Registry, Ship, and Claim pages describe the retained legacy path. This index is generated from the same public Markdown used by the human-readable site. For a single model-ready corpus, use https://docs.menloapp.lol/llms-full.txt. ## Pages - [Apple build and delivery](https://docs.menloapp.lol/guide/architecture/apple-delivery): Simulator probes, physical builds, code signing, CoreDevice selection, installation, and final verification. -
