FinderQuery Client vs Passport.ai

FinderQuery Client lets you browse and access files on your Mac from your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro—directly over your local network. Used together with FinderQuery Server (available on the Mac App Store), you can: • Browse Finder folders with icons, including hidden files • Preview files and folders on your Mac • Stream videos and PDFs instantly without downloading • Share a streaming link (URL) to open files in third-party apps • Download and view supported files directly in the app Privacy & Security Your privacy matters: • Local-network only: the app never sends your data to the internet and connects only to your Mac running FinderQuery Server • Mac-controlled access: the server never initiates connections; connections are started only from your device • Encrypted control connection: mutual TLS (mTLS) encrypts communication between the client and your Mac • Verified pairing: you can connect only after approving the connection on your Mac and confirming the client certificate fingerprint • On-device certificates: the certificate is stored in your Keychain and never leaves your device About streaming links To support opening streams in third-party apps, streamed file delivery isn’t encrypted. Access is still protected using randomized file paths and an authentication token—only someone with the URL can view the file.

Passport gives your AI agents a verifiable identity — signed on your iPhone, trusted by any service. As AI agents handle more of your digital life — booking travel, placing orders, managing your inbox — the services they interact with have no way to know if the action was authorized by you. Passport fixes that. HOW IT WORKS Create a named passport for each agent (Shopping Bot, Travel Planner, Inbox Triager) and choose exactly what it's allowed to do using scopes like "browse", "purchase:general", or "read:email". Passport generates a cryptographic key in your iPhone's Secure Enclave — protected by Face ID — and issues a signed JWT credential. The key never leaves your device. The agent attaches that credential to every request. Any store or service can verify it with a single API call and get back a clear answer: valid or not, who authorized it, what it can do, and when it expires. FOR STORES & DEVELOPERS Verifying a Passport takes one HTTP call — no SDK, no setup, no shared secrets. Drop the check into any Node.js, Python, or serverless endpoint in under five minutes. See passport.app/integrate for code snippets. FEATURES • Create named passports with custom permission scopes • ES256 signatures from the Secure Enclave — keys never leave your device • Face ID protected issuance • Set expiry windows (days, weeks, months) • Revoke any passport instantly • Verify any passport token locally, offline • Live verification endpoint for third-party stores • No account required PRIVACY Passport has no backend. Your keys are generated and stored entirely in your device's Secure Enclave. No data is collected, transmitted, or stored outside your iPhone.
