Shell Drop vs Yuki

ShellDrop is a fast, native terminal for iPhone, iPad and Vision Pro, built for running AI agents: Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Hermes, OpenClaw, opencode, anything that lives in tmux on a Mac mini, VPS or any box you can SSH into. WORK WITH YOUR AGENTS - Paste images straight into a session. Copy a screenshot from any app, paste it in the terminal, and your agent reads it. - Attach files too. Tap the paperclip in the toolbar to pick a file from Files, or a photo or video from your library, and it uploads to the server for your agent to read. - You choose the upload size limit. Settings goes from 100 MB to 1 GB, and if a file is over, ShellDrop offers to raise it on the spot. - Tmux aware. Vertical swipe scrolls history, horizontal swipe switches sessions. - Tab names sync with the real tmux session names automatically. - Sessions stay alive in the background while you switch apps. - Agent to clipboard. Ask your agent to write an email, say "copy that to my clipboard", and it lands on your phone ready to paste into your mail app. - Droplet Visualizer: the feature nobody asked for. See all your sessions from the perspective of an Egyptian god. BUILT LIKE A REAL TERMINAL - SSH key authentication. Generate Ed25519 keys or hardware-backed Secure Enclave keys in-app, where the private key never leaves the chip. - Paste-import your existing OpenSSH keys. - The keyboard toolbar is yours. Tap and hold to rearrange the keys you use most, and create your own custom Tmux key bindings. - Sticky ctrl for all of your perverted tmux activities. - Text selection with a dedicated selection mode, long-press word select, and one-tap links. - Nerd Fonts. FiraCode and JetBrains Mono render the glyphs nvim and LazyVim need. - Full screen mode for extra real estate. - Full iPad support including 13" iPad Pro, plus hardware keyboards. - iCloud sync keeps saved connections on every device, and you can switch it off in Settings any time. Private keys stay on your device by design. NO SUBSCRIPTION Every feature included. VOICE DROP Tap the mic on the keyboard toolbar and talk. Your words drop into the prompt at the cursor. Transcription runs on-device with Apple speech, or through your own Groq API key for whisper-large-v3-turbo. Nothing sends until you hit return. Prefer a dictation keyboard like Wispr Flow? Works great here too. PRIVACY Credentials live in the iOS keychain on your device. There is no account, and no telemetry or analytics are collected. Terminal traffic goes to your servers over SSH and nowhere else. Built by an indie developer who runs AI agents every day.

Your agent works. Now you can see it. Yuki is a girl at a desk by the window — headphones on, a cat asleep on the sill. When your coding agent gets to work, she types. The moment it needs an answer, she looks up and knocks on the glass. When it winds down, so does she. She makes your agent feel alive — not a spinner in a terminal, but someone quietly working beside you. WHAT SHE DOES - Mirrors your agent live: working, waiting, idle. - Knocks when you're needed, so you can stop staring at the terminal. - Full-screen on iPhone and iPad, a small desktop window on your Mac. - Every device reacts at once. HOW SHE CONNECTS Install the free Mac Helper on the Mac you code on, and she lights up. The Helper is open source — you can read every line before you trust it — and it shares only your agent's status. It works with Claude Code and Codex today, with more on the way. Until it's set up, Yuki plays a built-in preview so you can meet her first. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your code never leaves your machine. Only your agent's status travels — working, waiting, idle — over your own network or your own iCloud, never through us. No server. No account. No tracking. App Store privacy label: Data Not Collected. HER WORLD Lo-fi music and the soft clack of her keyboard set the mood. Treat her to her daily coffee. Stay a while — she keeps a few secrets for those who do. Never code alone.
