Sweepline is an authenticated, accountless remote and retrieval tool for iOS. It connects to servers you operate yourself or servers shared with you by someone you trust. Sweepline is intentionally small — like a Unix utility for your fingers. There is no feed, profile system or social network. The app enables team communication, but does not offer direct messages or require logging into a centralized service. Sweepline remembers Ed25519 private keys, speaks HTTP, and gets out of the way.

Sweepline's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
