Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
ViSH
Read full descriptionHide full description
ViSH turns your iPad into a portable, local ARM64 Linux workspace. Run Alpine Linux or Ubuntu 24.04 in a touch-friendly terminal, use AI coding CLIs, manage project files, or connect to remote servers over SSH. Your local Linux environment runs without a remote server. ViSH requires an auto-renewing subscription (yearly or monthly) and offers a 7-day free trial. All features described below require an active subscription. AI coding wherever you are Install terminal tools such as Claude Code and Codex to explore code, write scripts, and refactor projects on iPad. Bring your own account or API key and configure your environment with guided setup. Use apk on Alpine Linux or apt on Ubuntu 24.04. Install Git, OpenSSH, Node.js, npm, pnpm, nano, ripgrep, tmux, and common build tools as needed. Manage files beside your terminal The session file browser lets you browse local Linux or SSH server directories, view file details, import files and folders, create directories, and delete multiple items. Insert selected file paths directly into the terminal to save typing. Keep multiple Linux filesystems, download supported systems or import your own archives, and switch which one boots. Each filesystem retains its login user, boot command, and setup state. Export tar.gz archives or browse all filesystems from a single ViSH location in the Files app. Flexible SSH connections and protected keys Save SSH servers with password or key authentication, jump hosts, port forwarding, keep-alive, and automatic tab reconnection. On supported devices, create Secure Enclave SSH keys whose private keys stay inside secure hardware. Optionally require Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode when using a key. You can also import existing keys. Secure Enclave keys remain on the device where they were created. Built for terminal work on iPad Use multiple terminal tabs and long-press + to choose a local or SSH tab. Side panels bring files, shortcut keys, appearance, voice input, and SSH tools beside your main terminal workspace. Make it your own with a phosphor-amber interface, 505 terminal themes with live previews, and coding fonts with glyph previews. Pinch to resize text, pin the shortcut bar, use sticky modifiers and command snippets, mirror the terminal in Picture in Picture, and open Linux links in Safari. Connect serial hardware Connect compatible Bluetooth serial adapters to Linux with modem controls and optional local RFC 2217 access. Settings includes device compatibility information and guidance for an ESP32 bridge to help you choose a connection method. Notes All app features require an active ViSH subscription after the 7-day free trial. Some Linux features are limited by the iOS sandbox. Third-party tools such as Claude Code and Codex require your own account or API key with those services and may require a separate paid plan purchased outside ViSH.

MyCode 是一个纯客户端的 AI 编程助手。它不连接任何我们自建的服务器——你用自己的大模型 API Key(DeepSeek、Kimi、通义千问、智谱、豆包、混元、文心等国内主流厂商,或任何兼容通用接口的服务商)直连模型聊天;需要真正动代码时,它通过 SSH 或 MCP 在你自己的机器上执行。 聊天模式 • 自带 Key 直连你配置的大模型,流式回复 • 发送图片与文件,随手提问 • 中文语音输入(端上识别,音频不离开设备) • 多会话历史、置顶,按会话自定义系统提示词与参数 • 一键把对话导出为 Markdown 代码模式(手机上的编程 Agent) • 让模型在你自己的机器上跑命令、读写文件、操作 Git 仓库 • 两种执行落点,任选其一或并用: – SSH 直连(推荐 · 最简单):机器本就开着 SSH 即可,免装任何服务 – MCP 服务器(进阶):连接你机器上运行的开源 MCP 工具 • 支持 GitHub 与 Gitee 仓库 • 写文件 / 跑命令 / 推送等高风险操作默认弹窗确认;删除、强制推送等不可逆操作始终需确认(无法关闭) 技能(提示词技能包) • 内置技能市场,在线浏览并一键安装开源技能 • 也可粘贴 Git 地址安装,或用「用 MyCode 打开」导入本地 .md • 技能本质是提示词:启用后注入系统提示,让模型按该领域的方式工作 隐私与安全 • 纯客户端、无自建服务端:我们不接收、不留存你的任何内容 • 你的消息 / 图片 / 文件直接发往你自己配置的模型 Provider • API Key 与各类凭据只存于本机钥匙串(Keychain) • 全程 HTTPS;语音为端上识别;无广告、无追踪、无分析 SDK • SSH 采用首次连接指纹固定(TOFU),主机指纹变更即拒绝连接 使用前提(请先准备) • 一个你自己的大模型 API Key(如 DeepSeek / Kimi / 通义 / 智谱;按用量由对应平台计费,与本 App 无关) • 若要用代码模式:一台你能访问、开着 SSH 的机器,或一个可达的 MCP 服务器(局域网 / Tailscale 等内网穿透 / 公网均可) MyCode 适合想把 AI 编程随身带走的开发者:通勤、沙发、床上,用手机指挥 AI 在你的开发机上把活干了。

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MyCode AI at none against ViSH's 2. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
