Mossh
Read full descriptionHide full description
Mossh is an SSH terminal optimized for Codex, Claude Code, and remote AI coding workflows on iPhone. Connect to your remote development machine, attach to tmux, and keep long-running coding agent sessions available when you step away from your desk. Mossh is built for terminal-heavy work where readable diffs, logs, prompts, and command output matter. Save your SSH hosts, connect with a password or a generated key, and work in a terminal designed for mobile AI coding sessions. Mossh keeps the core workflow direct: open a host, trust the server key, continue your Codex or Claude Code session, paste safely, and get back to work. What you can do: - Save SSH host profiles with host, port, username, authentication method, TERM, startup directory, and tmux settings. - Connect with password authentication or an Ed25519 key generated and stored on your device. - Verify host keys before trusting a new or changed server. - Keep Codex, Claude Code, and shell sessions ready with tmux-friendly defaults. - Switch between multiple remote coding tabs and reconnect when needed. - Use readable terminal themes for code diffs, logs, prompts, and agent output. - Send common commands from a customizable terminal command panel. - Upload selected images or videos to the active SSH session and paste the remote file path. Mossh Pro is a one-time purchase. It unlocks unlimited hosts, up to 10 terminal tabs, unlimited custom commands, media upload, and the full terminal theme collection. The free version includes the core SSH workflow with limited hosts and one active terminal tab. Mossh does not include ads, analytics, or third-party tracking. Host profiles stay on your device, and passwords and generated private keys are stored in the iOS Keychain.
JSON Pilot
Read full descriptionHide full description
A native JSON viewer and editor for iPhone, with an on-device AI assistant that explains your data without sending a byte to the cloud. JSON Pilot opens any JSON โ from Files, the share sheet, AirDrop, your clipboard, or an HTTP request you fire from inside the app โ and gives you three ways to read it: a syntax-highlighted Tree, a tap-to-edit Fields drilldown, and a Text view with line numbers. Edit at any level, prettify or minify, validate with a precise line:col error, and Save the edits back to the original file. โ FREE FOREVER โ The whole viewer and editor is free with no account, no nags, no cloud sync. View, edit, validate, format, minify, search, Save, Save to Files, Share, Copy. We never gate the basics. โ ON-DEVICE AI ASSISTANT โ Ask "What is this JSON?" or "Find issues" or "Extract all emails" and JSON Pilot answers locally, using Apple Foundation Models. Your JSON, your prompts, and the model's replies never leave your iPhone. No server, no API key, no cloud fallback. (The AI assistant requires an Apple-Intelligence-capable iPhone โ 15 Pro and the full 16/17 family. On other devices the assistant is automatically disabled; everything else in the app still works.) โ POWER TOOLS (PRO) โ โข JSON Diff โ compare two payloads by structure. Reformatting is never a change. Summary view groups Changed / Added / Removed; Unified view shows a GitHub-style line diff. โข JSONPath queries โ $, ., [i], [*], .. and more. Matches highlight right on the Tree. โข Format conversion โ export to YAML, CSV, or XML. โข HTTP request tool โ send GET / POST / PUT / PATCH / DELETE with custom headers, open the JSON response in the same workspace. โข Auto-fix โ repair broken JSON: trailing commas, single quotes, unquoted keys, comments, smart quotes. โข Themes โ accent color and three syntax palettes. โ PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY โ Zero analytics SDKs. Zero telemetry. Zero crash reporters. The only network traffic the app initiates is StoreKit (your purchases) and HTTP requests you fire yourself. Recents are stored locally โ CloudKit is explicitly disabled. JSON Pilot does not request Camera, Photos, Contacts, Microphone, Location, or any other iOS permission. โ UPGRADE TO PRO โ Two ways to unlock the same Pro features: โข Monthly subscription โ billed monthly, cancel anytime. โข Lifetime โ one-time purchase, keep Pro forever. Both options unlock the same features. See the App Store listing for current pricing in your region. Manage or cancel anytime in iOS Settings โ Apple ID โ Subscriptions. โ REQUIREMENTS โ iPhone running iOS 26.4 or later. AI features require an Apple-Intelligence-capable iPhone. โ SUPPORT โ Questions, bugs, ideas?

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Mossh at 18.0 against JSON Pilot's 26.4. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
