Gumpbox now comes to iPhone and iPad, bringing your server command center with you wherever you work. This release adds a complete mobile experience for managing servers, workflows, files, services, processes, users, disks, cron jobs, tunnels, audit logs, and more. iPad also gets a dedicated adaptive sidebar and split-view layout designed for larger screens. Mobile file transfers are now much more capable, with multi-file upload and download, remote browsing, folder creation, persistent transfer history, and direct support for iOS Files destinations. We also improved mobile performance across the app with faster workflow navigation, scoped activity loading, cached assets, smoother keyboard handling, and more stable server detail layouts while live data loads. Server detail pages now include live stats, emergency actions, and better mobile-friendly controls. Navigation, notifications, empty states, and device-authentication fallback behavior have also been cleaned up across iPhone and iPad. This is a major cross-platform release for Gumpbox: Mac, iPhone, and iPad now work together as one server management workspace.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bonsai³ at none against Gumpbox's 1. Bonsai³ also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Gumpbox's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
