Your server's command center, from your pocket. Günther connects your iPad or iPhone to your dev machine over SSH and gives you a full command center — dashboard, terminal, GitHub, and AI agent control. No cloud relay, no middleman, no third-party servers. CUSTOMIZABLE DASHBOARD 90+ command templates across 16 categories: system stats, git, Docker, admin, services, logs, GitHub CLI, network, CLI launchers, Claude Code, tmux, deployment, SSL & cron, databases, CI/CD, and file operations. Add from the gallery, build with the guided "Bash Libs" command builder, or create your own. 9 output layouts (gauge, counter, table, log viewer, and more). Real-time polling for CPU, memory, and GPU. One-tap execution for everything else. GITHUB INTEGRATION Browse issues and PRs from your dashboard. Tap to expand, long-press to preview details — title, body, labels, comments, changed files. Send any issue straight to Claude Code with one tap. GitHub OAuth device flow for direct token setup, or use gh auth already configured on your server. Review and approve pull requests from a dedicated PR Approver card. AI AGENT CONTROL Günther reads Claude Code's output and renders it into a real mobile UI — plans, tool approvals, thinking steps, file diffs. A jobs panel tracks file edits, commands, and subagents in real time. Approve, deny, or session-approve tool calls. MCP tools display with server and tool name badges. Discover and invoke skills from the slash command menu. Choose between Sonnet, Opus, and Haiku models. TERMINAL & FILE EXPLORER Full interactive terminal with PTY support, 256-color output, and arrow keys. Browse remote directories with syntax-highlighted file preview. Upload photos and documents over SFTP.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Günther at free against Nodeterm's freemium. Nodeterm's advantage is chart position (#113 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Günther sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Nodeterm sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
