We've been there. You need to execute a postman collection asap, but you're away from your desktop. You try the mobile web browser, but it's just not cutting it! Meet Cosmo, Postman's best friend. Cosmo integrates with your Postman account, giving you access to your Postman content on the go. Features include: ** Integration via API key. The key is store securely on your own device, and never leaves. ** Access all of your collections, across all workspaces. ** Modify collection and environment variables locally. ** Configure full or partial collection runs with support for nested folders. ** Or, trigger individual endpoint requests. ** View responses, complete with pass / fail test results. ** Pre and post request scripts will run seamlessly, and update local variable state. There are some tricks Cosmo hasn't learned yet: ** Create, edit, or delete collections and/or requests. ** Save variable modifications to the Postman servers. Only the local instances are updated. ** Team management. No inviting new members, managing members, etc. If you would like to see a new feature, just ask!

gterm is a real terminal for iOS. It renders with Ghostty's GPU engine for true xterm/VT emulation, connects straight to your servers over SSH, keeps your keys on device, and ships an AI command assistant that writes the commands for you. It's the same renderer and VT parser as the Ghostty desktop app. iOS can't fork/exec a local shell, so gterm drives the terminal straight from the SSH stream through a custom passthru IO backend added to libghostty โ giving you a real terminal in a sandboxed iOS surface. GPU-RENDERED TERMINAL Real xterm/VT emulation via Ghostty's libghostty, drawn on Metal. Colors, ligatures, and reflow that feel native โ not a web shim. SSH-NATIVE Connects with swift-nio-ssh โ password and public-key auth, a PTY shell, live window resizing, and trust-on-first-use host-key verification. KEYS STAY ON DEVICE Import Ed25519 / ECDSA private keys into the iOS Keychain โ device-only, never synced. Pick one or more keys to try per host. SHELL-GRADE KEYBOARD A custom accessory keyboard with the keys iOS forgets โ Esc, Ctrl, Alt, Tab, arrows, and sticky modifiers for real TUI navigation. AI COMMAND ASSISTANT Describe what you want in plain English. The AI reads your recent commands and visible screen, proposes a command, and shows it to you for review before it runs. AI AUTO-COMPLETION As you type, suggestions surface above the keyboard โ from your history and from your provider. Bring your own key; it's stored masked in the Keychain.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Cosmo at Free against gterm's $1.99. Cosmo also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). gterm's advantage is chart position (#199 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
