Your servers and your AI agents, in your pocket. Onepilot is the iOS app that runs your AI agents and server fleet on machines you own. Connect to any server, Mac, or VPS over SSH, then deploy, monitor, and manage agents across all of them from one place. Direct SSH to hardware you control: your keys and your code never touch the cloud. WHO IT IS FOR For developers, indie hackers, and sysadmins who run AI coding agents on remote machines and want to deploy, watch, and control them from a phone. PILLAR ONE: A REAL TERMINAL, PLUS THE TOOLS AROUND IT A full SSH terminal, not a chat box, with the modern dev workflow built in: browse and edit remote files, review git diffs, forward localhost to preview your dev server, and run terminal CLIs like Claude Code in a real session, exactly as you would on your laptop. Pair a server once with the onepilot CLI (one npm install and a QR scan) and your sessions become persistent: your shell keeps running on your own server through app closes and connection drops, and greets you with full scrollback when you return. SEE YOUR AGENTS THINK Onepilot detects the coding agent sessions running on your servers (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) and streams them live: follow every step as it happens, scroll the full transcript, then jump into the terminal to take over. PILLAR TWO: DEPLOY AND MANAGE AN AGENT FLEET Spin up a persistent AI agent in minutes with a guided wizard, no config files: pick a framework like OpenClaw or Hermes, choose a model, add your keys, connect a channel, and Onepilot keeps it running on your server. Watch every agent across every machine from a single view; swap the model, rotate a key, or adjust behavior anytime. KNOW WHEN SOMETHING BREAKS Fleet monitoring watches CPU, memory, disk, load, and your Docker containers on every paired host, learns each machine's normal, and sends a push notification when something drifts. Alerts are calm by design: one notification when a problem starts, spaced reminders while it lasts, and a recovery note when it heals. Drill into any container for live performance charts. RUNS WHILE YOU SLEEP Put any agent or task on a schedule with cron and let your fleet work overnight. This is automation no plain SSH client offers: your agents run even when your phone is asleep. SET UP ONCE, REUSE EVERYWHERE Store your keys and chat tokens one time, then reuse them across every agent. Give your agents new skills from a community marketplace. WHY ONEPILOT A plain SSH client connects you to a shell. Onepilot gives you that shell plus a full dev ecosystem around it, and an agent operations layer on top: deploy, monitor, alert, schedule, and manage a fleet of AI agents on your own servers. One app for every machine and every agent, not a remote control for one. Ships worldwide.

AI-IDE is a lightweight editor for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Edit Markdown, code, and config files inside iCloud Drive or any Files folder — and work with the LLM of your choice without leaving the document. KEY FEATURES • Mark up the preview, let AI edit — Tap a spot or select a passage and say what to change. Queue marks, send one batch, review one diff. • Bring your own AI — Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Groq, Mistral, any API-compatible endpoint, local Ollama, or an AISA key for 70+ models. 16 one-tap presets. No built-in account or key: nothing runs until you add one. • You approve every change — Edits show a diff first; nothing is written until you tap Apply, and overwrites are snapshotted. • Multi-tab editor — Syntax highlighting for 10 languages, line numbers, autosave, find & replace. • Rich Markdown preview — Outline navigation, in-document search, reading progress with resume, code copy, task checkboxes, light/dark themes. • Office files and PDFs, both ways — Export to PDF, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on device; "AI Refine" turns a document into slides, using your own .pptx as the master and Brand Kits for colours, fonts, and logo. Open a .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, or PDF to edit in place, formatting kept. • AI illustrations — One prompt draws an illustration at the cursor with your own image model; it flows into PDF, Word, and PowerPoint. Decks can auto-illustrate. • Built-in data tools — 35 the AI calls itself: web pages, academic papers, US financials and SEC filings, crypto prices, X posts, prediction markets, Perplexity. Switched on by category, with the token cost shown. HTTPS-only and host-whitelisted; your key is injected on device, never seen by the model. • Prompt Library — Activate several presets at once, merged in your order with a size meter. Three research procedures are built in; add more from the library or GitHub. • KB Library — File a document once and reference it as often as you like: type ~ to attach one, or let the AI search the library and read only the passage it needs. Ranked search working in Chinese and says so when nothing matches. • Share what you tune — Prompts, export styles and KB entries export as files. Install from the built-in library or add a source: any public GitHub repo or page. Updates are flagged, never automatic, and an edited copy is never overwritten. • Tool-using AI — Reads, searches, and writes workspace files. Optional web search via Brave, Tavily, Perplexity, or AISA. • Files done right — Open files from anywhere; create, rename, move, duplicate, delete; multiple pinned workspaces. • Local version control — Snapshot, diff, and revert on device: no git account, history never leaves it, instant in huge folders. Auto-commit optional. • Reliable by default — Suggests the right model for the job; dropped streams resume without re-sending the conversation. • Multimodal — Attach files, photos, or clipboard images. Vision models get them directly; PDF / DOCX / PPTX / XLSX are transcribed. • Trilingual — Full UI in English, 繁體中文, 简体中文; switch without a restart. • iPad and Mac — Three-pane Split View on iPad and Mac, tabs on iPhone, a full Mac menu bar and keyboard shortcuts. PRIVACY • API keys live in the Keychain (device-only). Your content goes straight to the endpoints you configure — no proxy, no telemetry. Chat history is local. REQUIREMENTS • iOS / iPadOS 17.0 or later, or macOS 14.0 or later. You provide the API keys for the services you use. For support, send mail to sportusagi@gmail.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Onepilot at 87% against AI's 0%. Onepilot also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (14 vs 1). AI's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Onepilot sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and AI sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Onepilot has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Onepilot's written reviews are positive against 0% of AI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Onepilot ships an update every 3 days, AI weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
