OpenShell vs VoxyAI

OpenShell — a unified AI client for your iPhone: local LLMs, cloud APIs, and remote coding over SSH, all in one app. Chat with Ollama, MLX, and LM Studio local models; OpenAI, xAI Grok, and Nous Hermes cloud APIs; or drive Claude Code on a remote Mac over SSH. Pick the backend you want and work in the same app — from quick questions to code reviews, file edits, and builds, straight from your iPhone.

VoxyAI brings powerful AI chat to your iPhone and iPad — on your terms, with your privacy intact. Choose how you want to think, write, and create.
