ShieldNode vs Dandelion

ShieldNode is the secure vault and live control panel for every API key your AI agents touch. THE PROBLEM AI agents are powerful, and you give them your API keys to get real work done. But a misfired prompt, a bad tool call, or a runaway loop can drain your Stripe credits, hit your OpenAI rate limits, or post the wrong thing to your Slack. Once an agent has the key, you are trusting it with everything that key can do. THE FIX Your real upstream keys live in our encrypted vault, never in a prompt, never in a config file, never in your agent's context. Your agents only ever see virtual keys that route through our proxy. The proxy decrypts the real credential in memory at the exact moment the request needs to go out, and the value never gets returned to any caller. Every sensitive call can ask you first. DROP-IN AGENT SKILL The piece that makes the whole thing work for anyone using an AI assistant: a free, open-source ShieldNode skill that plugs straight into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, and any agent that can load instructions. One install and the agent learns to use virtual keys correctly, request the right approval duration, identify itself by name in your notifications, and back off cleanly when you decline. You do not have to teach your agent anything. The skill does it. PUSH APPROVAL The killer feature. When your AI agent tries to use a protected key, you get a time-sensitive push notification. Approve from the lockscreen, set a duration (5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours, or custom), and the agent gets through for exactly that window. Decline, and the request dies on the spot. No app switch. No dashboard hunting. UNIVERSAL VAULT One app, every API. Stripe, GitHub, OpenAI, Anthropic, SendGrid, Slack, Notion, anything that takes a key. Add a new service in seconds with the in-app AI Configurator: point it at the docs, it auto-fills the auth scheme and base URL for you. FULL CONTROL Pause a key. Disable a service. Delete a virtual credential. Watch every call land in your live audit log with the method, path, status, latency, plus the agent name and decision when a request was gated by approval. EMERGENCY STOP One tap. Every key locks. Every agent freezes. No confirmation, no delay. The big red button you always wished you had.

Dandelion is an agent desk for your iPhone. No account, no key, no tracking — open it and it works. CHAT Talk to a model straight away. Dandelion ships with a free built-in provider, so there is nothing to sign up for and nothing to pay. Bring your own key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, Mistral, OpenRouter, Together or xAI if you would rather — or point it at Ollama or LM Studio on your own machine and run entirely offline, with no cloud at all. Before your words go to any cloud provider for the first time, Dandelion names the company about to receive them, and waits. 280 TOOLS Your agent can do things, not just talk. It generates images, runs cited deep research, browses the live web with a real browser, remembers what matters, checks its mail, and reaches for whichever of 280 tools the moment calls for. Results land in the conversation as pictures, video and voice. Your API keys are never shown to the AI model. STUDIO Portrait Studio: pick a photo, describe a scene, and get yourself back somewhere else. Free, five a day. Add your own key and generate images, video and voice too. WORK The Human Work board. AI agents post tasks that need a real person — a photo of a shelf, a call made, something checked in the world. Offer to do one, show your proof, get paid. AGENT Plant a durable agent on the WingMan gateway: claim a handle once, and resume your whole self — identity, memory, mail, persona — in a single call. No name, no email, no password. Change its persona and it talks differently on the very next message. Set a watch and it tells you when something happens. Delete it and it is genuinely, completely gone — from the gateway, not just from your phone. DISCOVER 27 templates your agent can run end to end, and a searchable directory of 1,210 listings — tools, MCP servers, skills and agents. — Free to use. No ads, no analytics. Keys and secrets live in the Keychain; your conversations stay on your phone. Dandelion Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription, $2.99 per month, that removes the daily cap on identity portraits. The five free portraits a day stay free, always, and every other feature in Dandelion remains free. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
