The app helps you manage your services running on Google Cloud directly from your Apple iPhone or iPad: • Stay connected to the cloud and check billing, status, and critical issues. • Create your own custom dashboard to produce an overview of your Google Cloud services. • Monitor the state of your Compute Engine and App Engine resources with the ability to SSH into your VMs. • Access to Cloud Shell to perform any Google Cloud (gcloud) operation. • View and respond to incidents, errors, and logging. We plan to ship new features regularly and continually improve your user experience.

Command Control
Read full descriptionHide full description
Command Control gives you the power to query any JSON API and organize exactly what you need into a personalized dashboard on your iPhone. Stop jumping between terminal windows, web tabs, or multiple app layouts. Gather, extract, and combine data streams from completely different sources into a single, clean Command Control application tailored to your exact workflow. Build dynamic triggers with ease. Command Control lets you add custom parameters, free-text inputs, and predefined dropdowns to execute targeted commands across any web service from one centralized location. Query any system using URL Parameters, Query Parameters, POST/PUT payloads, or GraphQL. The app supports robust, secure authentication protocols including API keys, Basic Auth, client-side certificates, and login redirects. Once your data flows in, you control the presentation: hide messy fields, format raw values into human-readable strings, perform calculations, stitch text fields together, and display nested images in custom layouts. Take automation a step further by chaining commands together. Automatically extract authentication tokens or data lists from one API to dynamically populate a persistent dictionary used by another. With custom pre- and post-execution scripts, a single tap can trigger complex, multi-service workflows seamlessly. Key Features: - Deep Organization: Group your APIs into recursive nested folders and style them with custom names, symbols, and hex colors. - Visual Key Path Selector: No more typing out complex or error-prone JSON strings manually. Browse your API payloads and pick your data mapping visually. - Interactive Data Actions: Turn any rendered data row into an actionable button. Tap a field to execute a secondary command, passing dynamic values from that specific row into the next request. - Full Protocol Support: Handles all standard HTTP verbs, path variables, URL queries, custom headers, JSON bodies, and raw payloads. - Advanced Form Handling: Full compatibility with both multipart/form-data and x-www-form-urlencoded payloads. - Native GraphQL Integration: Write clean GraphQL queries and map variables using hardcoded values or interactive user inputs. - Enterprise-Grade Security: Supports Basic Authentication and custom client-side .p12 certificate loading with password protection. - Instant Local Search: Filter massive, nested JSON responses in real-time with a built-in search interface directly over your rendered results. - Smart Text Processing: Native Markdown support automatically styles rich text, headers, and hyperlinks returned by your APIs. - Granular Automation: Set up periodic background tracking to autorun your commands at precise intervals (seconds, minutes, or hours) while the app is active. - Intelligent Layout Engine: Design gorgeous data lists with fully configurable cell styles (including square images, banners, and multi-row alignments), tabular footers, custom sorting rules, and advanced inclusion/exclusion filters. - Smart Data Filtering: Clean up your views by configuring rules to automatically skip boilerplate layout tiers or isolate key objects. - Persistent Value Dictionaries: Create global variable lookups that can be filled manually or fed automatically via key-path extraction from previous API runs. - Built-in Math Operations: Add, subtract, multiply, and divide raw payload numbers to compute totals or evaluate states directly in your view. - Remote Push Notifications: Receive instant alerts from your external servers or scripts by POSTing payloads straight to our secure endpoint using your private API key. Track execution history in a dedicated, in-app notification log. - Seamless Portability: Easily backup, transfer, or share your custom dashboard layouts using JSON configuration import and export tools.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Google Cloud at 17.0 against Command Control's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
