Asynq Buddy vs GoSpark

Buddy helps you stay on top of your coding agents like Claude Code or Codex from your iPhone. Connect Buddy to your paired Mac Mini (or another machine) and keep track of active work, approvals, managed sessions, and follow-up tasks without sitting at your desk. With Buddy, you can: - review what your agents are doing - continue observed work from your phone - start and monitor managed sessions - handle approval and review flows - check recent work, outputs, and session history - stay in sync with your local agent runtime Buddy is built for developers who use local and desktop-based coding agents and want lightweight control while away from the keyboard. Current highlights: - mobile view of agent activity and status - managed and observed session workflows - approval handling from your phone - recurring managed tasks - prompt attachments and voice dictation - local-first workflow with your paired machine Buddy works together with the Asynq agent daemon (asynq-agentd) running on your computer.

GoSpark is a standalone AI chat app for iPhone and iPad. Chat with built-in Apple Intelligence when it is available, or use supported API-key providers such as DeepSeek, Meta and Z.ai. You can also configure an OpenAI-compatible server. Bring your own provider key; availability and usage charges depend on the provider you choose. START A CONVERSATION Return to recent chats from the home screen, choose a model in the composer, and keep conversations and attachments together. Use the camera or file picker to add references to a supported chat. CHAT AND BUILD Chat sends your message to the selected model. Build hands your draft to the separate GoSpark Remote app on the same device. That handoff requires GoSpark Remote and a paired Mac running GoSpark. If Remote is not installed, your draft is kept and the app explains what is needed. GoSpark itself makes no Mac connection and does not run CLIs, git or a terminal on iPhone or iPad. Apple Intelligence requires a supported device, language and system configuration, with Apple Intelligence enabled and its model downloaded. API-key chat does not require a Mac. Spark it. Ship it.
