ScarfGo vs ompanion

ScarfGo is the iPhone companion to Scarf, the open-source macOS GUI for the Hermes AI agent. It connects from your phone to a Hermes server you operate — your Mac, a home Linux box, a cloud VM, anything reachable over SSH — and lets you run sessions, browse memory, manage cron jobs, and resume conversations on the go. A fully native iOS app, not a web view or a remote desktop. ScarfGo speaks SSH directly using a pure-Swift implementation, reads Hermes state via SFTP and SQLite snapshots, and streams real-time agent output over the Agent Client Protocol on a long-lived SSH exec channel. Every byte stays between your device and the Hermes host you configured. What you can do: • Multi-server. Configure as many Hermes hosts as you like and switch between them with a tap. Soft Disconnect keeps your credentials cached; Forget wipes a server end-to-end. • Dashboard. Stats and the 25 most recent sessions, with project badges so you can tell at a glance which work is which. • Project-scoped chat. Pick a project from your registry and ScarfGo writes the same Scarf-managed AGENTS.md context block the Mac app does, so the agent boots with the right project context. The resulting session is attributed correctly across both clients. • Session resume. Tap any row on the Dashboard to open that session's transcript in Chat. CLI-started sessions hydrate from the Hermes state database; ACP sessions show an empty-state because Hermes does not persist ACP transcripts to the database. • Memory editor. Read and edit MEMORY.md and USER.md with a Saved indicator that survives keyboard dismissal and a one-tap Revert. • Cron list. Human-readable schedules ("Every 6 hours", "Weekdays at 09:00") instead of raw cron expressions, plus a relative next-run estimate. Read-only in this release; editing comes in a future update. • Skills browser. Read-only category tree with the SKILL.md frontmatter chips (allowed tools, related skills, dependencies) the Mac app shows. • Settings viewer. Read-only inspection of your config.yaml. Edit values from the Mac app or a remote shell. Privacy. ScarfGo does not collect, transmit, or store your data on any server controlled by the developer. There are no analytics, no telemetry, no ad identifiers. SSH keys are generated on-device and stored in the iOS Keychain with the ThisDeviceOnly attribute, so they are unreachable while the device is locked and never sync to iCloud. The complete privacy policy lives at awizemann.github.io/scarf/privacy. Open-source under the MIT license. Source, issue tracker, and contributor docs at github.com/awizemann/scarf. Bug reports tagged component:scarfgo go straight to the developer. Requirements. iOS 18.0 or later. An SSH-reachable Hermes server (Hermes v0.10.0 or later recommended; full v0.11.0 features supported). Your phone needs to be able to reach that server over the network, for example on the same Wi-Fi or at a public address that accepts SSH connections. ScarfGo itself does not provide any network or VPN service.

ompanion is a client for omp, the open-source oh-my-pi coding agent. omp normally runs in a terminal on your own machine; ompanion drives it over SSH from your iPhone or iPad, with no daemon installed on that machine. On iPhone and iPad ompanion is SSH-only: it connects to a computer you own and control. What you need - A machine you can reach over SSH: macOS, Linux or Windows. - omp 18.3.1 or newer on it. If omp is missing, ompanion installs it on that machine, or shows you the commands to run yourself. - AI model access from your own provider accounts, configured in omp on that machine. ompanion ships no servers, no accounts, no model of its own. Chat - Streaming transcript with markdown, LaTeX math, highlighted code, collapsible thinking and images - Finished turns fold their thinking, tool calls and interim messages under a one-line summary - Steer the running turn or queue a follow-up, and edit or remove queued messages - Slash commands from the session's own command list, model and thinking-level pickers, and a context and cost meter - Pause and resume every agent of a session; Stop aborts the run and restores queued messages - Attach files by picking them, or paste images; images go to the model, files reach omp as mentions it reads on the machine - Copy messages and code, and branch from any of your messages Tools and approvals - Tool cards for shell, read, edit and write with word-level diffs, eval, todo, task, web search and fetch - Tool approvals answered inline; the ask tool as a form with several questions, previews and your own answers - Extension dialogs, status lines and toasts; files named in tool cards open in the Files panel Sessions - Every session on a machine, grouped by project and across omp profiles, marked working, waiting for input or unread - Search sessions across your machines by title or project path - Resume any session on the machine, including ones from omp's terminal UI (read-only while that omp still has it open) - Session tree with search, filters, labels, branching and an optional model-written summary - Several of your devices on one live session: each sees what the others send, and the first answer settles the dialog everywhere Machines - Any SSH host, including hosts behind a chain of jump hosts - No daemon: it runs stock omp, and uploads a small companion extension for what omp's RPC lacks - Sessions run detached on the machine, so a dropped connection or a locked phone does not stop the turn - Key, password and keyboard-interactive SSH authentication, with host-key checks on every hop - Each machine is probed, and omp is installed on it with a checksum check - Generate Ed25519 keys or import your own; private keys stay in the platform's secure storage Files, terminal and configuration - Files: browse, create, rename and delete; an editor with find and replace; git status and diffs - Terminal tabs on the machine, over SSH - Agent Hub: subagent roster with progress, tokens and cost, each agent's transcript, steer, kill, revive - Todos by phase, and compactions shown with their summary and file lists - Settings from omp's own schema, model roles, providers, MCP servers, plugins, skills, and stats - Usage: subscription limits from every online machine, with reset times and account priority - Monochrome, flat design with an OLED-black dark theme and a light theme; on an iPad in landscape, machines, chat and tools sit side by side Privacy - No accounts, no analytics, no crash reporting, no ads, no tracking - Your data stays on your device or goes over SSH to your own machines; the app reaches GitHub only to download omp for a machine, and a web image in a reply only when you tap it - Prompts go to omp on your machine, which calls the providers you configured there, under their policies - Private keys and passwords are kept in the platform's secure storage ompanion is open source (GPLv3): github.com/edde746/ompanion
