gentz vs Orb

Gentz is a mobile companion for your AI agents. Check on the agents running on your computer, give them new tasks, respond to their approval requests, and run agents with local models on your iPhone. CONTROL YOUR DESKTOP AGENTS Pair Gentz with agents you already use on your computer: Claude Code, Codex, Gentzo and Hermes Agent. Then, from your iPhone: - Start a task and follow its progress. - Get a notification when an agent asks for your approval, then approve or decline it. - See what your scheduled agents have done and what's waiting on you. - Continue a conversation with an agent that you started on your computer. Your agents keep running on your own computer with your files and settings. Gentz connects only to computers you pair with it, and you can unpair a computer at any time. AGENTS ON YOUR iPHONE Gentz can run agents with small AI models on your iPhone. You choose which model to download. Once a model is downloaded: - Agents can run on your iPhone without an internet connection. - When you use a local model, your prompts and its responses are processed on your device. - Agents can work with your apps through Shortcuts and links to help with everyday tasks. SHARED COMPUTING WITH ALPHAWEB If you've been approved to join an AlphaWeb network, you can connect Gentz to it. Agent work is then shared between your iPhone and the network: lighter tasks run on your iPhone, and larger tasks run on the network's computers. Your iPhone contributes only while Gentz is open and only when you turn sharing on. You can turn it off at any time in Settings. MEET GENTZ Gentz, the app's pocket-sized clown, is the quick, dapper messenger of the troupe. The color of his nose shows the status of your agents: - Cyan: an agent is working. - Green: a task is done. - Amber: an agent is waiting for your approval. - Red: something needs your attention. - Unlit: there's no data yet.

7:02 AM. You haven't said a word yet. "Morning. Rain clears by nine. Your ten o'clock moved to ten thirty — and that form you've been dodging is due today, so I put it at the top of your list." Every assistant until now has waited to be asked. Orb doesn't wait. IT KNOWS WHAT'S UP Orb keeps a running sense of your day and reaches out when something actually matters: "You've got four commits sitting unpushed since Tuesday. Worth protecting before the weekend." "NVDA's up four percent since you asked me to watch it." "You've been at this for twenty hours. I moved tomorrow's first ping to ten so you can sleep in." And when nothing matters? Silence. The bar for interrupting you is high. YOUR COMPUTER, IN YOUR POCKET Run the free, open-source Orb server on your own computer and your phone becomes its remote. Ask for real work from anywhere — "clean up my downloads folder" — and carry on with your day until the receipt lands: "Done. 214 files sorted, three gigs freed." Your machine did the work. Your phone just told you. JUST SAY IT Voice-first, human answers. "Remind me at eight" — "Done, eight tonight." No menus, no forms, no robot voice reading bullet points. IT REMEMBERS What you said last week. What you asked it never to let you skip. Where you left off. One continuous assistant across voice and chat — whichever AI engine you plug in, Orb stays Orb. ACTUALLY YOURS No account. No developer cloud — we couldn't read your data if we wanted to, because there's nothing of ours to read it with. Choose which AI powers it, swap anytime, name it what you like. Self-host and nothing ever leaves hardware you own. You've been promised this assistant for fifteen years. Nobody built it, because it can't be built in someone else's cloud — an assistant this close to your life only works if it's yours.
