Clawdy vs OpenClient for OpenCode

Clawdy is a private iOS chat client that connects to OpenAI-compatible chat servers provided by the user. Clawdy does not host models, does not provide public chat, and does not require accounts. Chats are stored locally on your device. Your API key and messages are sent only to the server you configure.

OpenClient brings native iPhone and iPad integration for OpenCode to your own self-hosted server. Keep coding sessions within reach when you are away from your desk. Browse projects, resume chats, review tool activity, answer permission and question prompts, and follow ongoing work from a fast native interface built around the way iOS and iPadOS actually work. OpenClient is designed for developers who already run OpenCode and want more than a remote chat window. It is a mobile command center for active agent work, long-running tasks, quick follow-ups, and remote check-ins.
