Gitzy vs pmosh

Gitzy is a serious Git client built for developers. It brings full version control to iPhone and iPad with a focus on reliability, safety, and transparency. Whether you clone a repo, inspect history, or sync with a remote, Gitzy is designed to match the expectations of developers who rely on Git every day. Repository management sits at the core. Open an existing repository, initialize a new one, or clone over HTTPS. Authentication uses tokens stored securely in the system Keychain. You stay in control of your credentials and your data. The visual commit graph gives you a clear view of branch structure, merges, and history. Navigate by time, search by message or author, and drill into any commit. A dedicated diff viewer shows exactly what changed, with support for staging at file, hunk, or line level. Branch management covers checkout, create, delete, rebase onto another branch, and upstream setup. Power tools are built in. Rebase and revert keep history predictable. Reset supports soft, mixed, and hard modes. Clean and discard handle untracked and modified files with explicit confirmation. Every destructive action is gated so you know what will happen before you confirm. Sync is safe and transparent. Push, pull, and fetch integrate with your remotes. When something goes wrong, Gitzy maps low-level errors to human-readable messages and suggests recovery steps. Pre-push checks warn about non-fast-forward and other risky states so you can decide how to proceed. AI assistance is optional and entirely under your control. Use it for commit message suggestions or repository insights if you enable it. Local and cloud-backed options are available; no data is sent unless you trigger an AI feature and have configured a provider. Gitzy is built to be robust and developer-first. It prioritizes correctness over shortcuts and clarity over jargon. Your repository data stays on your device. Credentials stay in the Keychain. The app does not track you, does not show ads, and does not depend on third-party analytics. If you need a Git client that respects your workflow and your privacy, Gitzy is built for you.

pmosh is an SSH terminal for iPhone and iPad that attaches to a tmux session on your own server using tmux's control mode, so the terminal you see on your phone is the same session running on your machine. It's built for developers who run tmux, shells, and command-line tools — including agentic coding tools like Claude Code — on servers or machines they already own and administer. pmosh doesn't provide any of that for you; it's a client that connects to infrastructure you already have. pmosh only connects to servers you configure. On first launch it generates an ed25519 SSH keypair on your device, stored in the iOS Keychain, and shows you the public key so you can add it to authorized_keys on your own server. You type in your host and username; nothing is pre-filled or bundled. There is no server component, no bundled credentials, and no third-party service in between. Features: - Attaches to a remote tmux session over SSH using tmux's control mode (tmux -CC), so output and session state stay in sync with the server - On-device ed25519 key generation — a unique keypair per install, kept in the iOS Keychain - Optional pmosh account: Sign in with Apple and your host, key rows, settings and SSH key follow you to your other iPhones and iPads through your own iCloud (key-value storage for settings, iCloud Keychain for the key). No pmosh server is involved, and nothing requires an account - Two rows of on-screen keys above the keyboard with what terminal work needs but iOS doesn't have: Esc, Ctrl-C, Enter, arrow keys (hold to repeat), Tab / Shift-Tab, and scrollback paging — both rows customizable in Settings, including keys that type your own text - Claude Code transcript view: the conversation in a Claude Code pane — prompts, replies and tool calls — rendered as a native list that scrolls on the phone, read from the session log over the same SSH connection; plus smooth, momentum-based scrolling inside full-screen terminal apps - Works with an external hardware keyboard if you use one - Multiple tabs, each its own tmux session - No account required; free tier with one tab, pmosh Pro for unlimited tabs Privacy: pmosh does not collect analytics or usage data, and does not talk to any server other than the one you enter in setup. No data is sent to the developer or any third party; the optional account syncs through your own iCloud, which we cannot read. The only network connection the app itself makes is the SSH connection to your own server. Requirements: pmosh needs an SSH server you control, reachable from your device, with tmux installed on it. It is not a hosting service and does not include a server — you connect it to a server you already run.
