hot.keys vs Orca IDE

hot.keys brings a desktop-style keyboard to iPhone and iPad for code, Markdown, JSON, XML, and structured prompts. Keep numbers and common symbols visible while you type. KEYS WITHIN REACH • Always-visible numbers and quick access to brackets, braces, angle brackets, and other common symbols. • Larger letter keys in iPhone portrait mode. • Optional Left, Right, and Full Width positioning on wide layouts, with tap controls to switch sides or expand. • Left and right arrows for moving the cursor. • Tab inserts spaces, with a configurable indent size. • Hold Delete to keep deleting. • Tap Shift for a capital, hold Shift while typing, or slide from Shift to a letter. • A dedicated Caps Lock key and optional keypress haptics. TRY THE KEYBOARD Practice with 30-second typing drills in Easy, Medium, and Hard modes. See your words per minute, characters per minute, accuracy, and errors, then try again. OFFLINE AND PRIVATE No account is needed. hot.keys does not collect or transmit what you type. Core typing works without Full Access. Full Access is required to save and synchronize keyboard settings, including your preferred keyboard position. Without Full Access, position changes apply to the current keyboard instance. GET STARTED Add hot.keys in Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard. Then use the globe key in a text field to switch to hot.keys.

Orca Mobile is the companion app for Orca, the open-source agentic coding workspace for macOS, Linux, and Windows. Pair your iPhone to your desktop in seconds and pick up a terminal session from the couch, the kitchen, or across the office. WHAT IT DOES • Live mirror of your desktop terminal, including running AI agent sessions (Claude Code, Codex, custom CLIs). • Full keyboard input — type, tab-complete, Ctrl-C, scroll back, all from the phone. • Multi-worktree, multi-terminal: jump between projects with a tap. • Phone-fit zoom and a smart on-screen keyboard with quick Ctrl/Alt accessory keys and shortcuts. • Background long-running commands and get a notification when a TUI goes idle (e.g. when Claude finishes thinking). HOW IT WORKS Orca Mobile is a thin client. Nothing runs on your phone except the viewer. Your code, your shells, your AI agents — all of that stays on your desktop. The phone shows you what's happening and forwards your keystrokes back over an encrypted local-network connection. Pairing is end-to-end encrypted. Your desktop generates a one-time keypair and shows a QR code; you scan it from the app. After that, all traffic between phone and desktop is sealed with that pair's keys. PRIVACY • No analytics SDK, no crash reporter, no third-party SDKs of any kind in the iOS app. • Pairing tokens and your preference list live in the app's own sandbox. The app's traffic to your desktop is end-to-end encrypted on your local network only. • The Orca desktop app collects anonymized usage metrics per the policy at https://www.onorca.dev/privacy. The mobile app itself does not. • Open source: every line is auditable at https://github.com/stablyai/orca. REQUIREMENTS • An iPhone (iOS 16+) on the same Wi-Fi as your desktop. • The Orca desktop app, free, from https://www.onorca.dev/ or https://github.com/stablyai/orca/releases.
