Code Island Buddy vs Drover

Code Island Buddy 是 Code Island Mac 应用的 iPhone 与 Apple Watch 伴随端。 它会把 Mac 上当前 AI agent 的状态同步到 iPhone、灵动岛、锁屏、StandBy 和 Apple Watch。你可以快速查看当前会话、工作区、工具调用、最近动态，以及需要你回答的问题。 适合希望在 Mac 外继续关注 AI 编程会话的开发者：当 agent 正在处理、等待审批、遇到问题或进入空闲状态时，iPhone 和 Apple Watch 都能给你一个轻量的状态窗口。 主要功能： - iPhone 端连接 Mac 上的 Code Island - 灵动岛和锁屏实时活动展示当前会话 - StandBy 横屏展示一个或多个会话状态 - Apple Watch app 和小组件同步最新状态 - 演示模式可在没有 Mac 的情况下预览完整体验 本应用不需要账号，不依赖外部服务器。设备之间的同步发生在你的本地网络和 Apple 设备能力内。

Drover is a mobile client for the AI coding agents you run under Herdr on your own computer. It turns them into something you can supervise from your phone. It is not a mobile terminal. Drover speaks the agent's language: it renders a running session as a readable chat, turns permission prompts into buttons you can tap, and tells you the moment an agent is waiting on you. NO SERVER IN BETWEEN Drover connects straight from your device to your own machine over SSH. There is no service in the middle. Your transcripts, your commands and your code go to your machine — the developer of this app cannot see them. The voice assistant is an experimental, opt-in exception: it sends to Google, not to the developer, after you accept its disclosure. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every agent and its status at a glance — waiting for you, working, done • Read the session as a chat, with Markdown, syntax-highlighted code and diffs • Answer an agent's permission prompt by tapping a button instead of typing into a raw terminal pane • Send follow-up instructions, cycle the agent's mode, or dictate by voice • Talk to an agent hands-free with the experimental voice assistant — launch it, send it a message, or answer its question, and hear back what's happening • Attach a photo from your camera or library for the agent to look at • Get a notification the moment an agent is blocked and needs you • Switch between several machines, or watch them all in one list TRY IT WITH NO SETUP Tap "Try the demo" on the first screen. It runs a scripted session entirely on your device, with no host and no connection, so you can see how Drover works before setting anything up. WHAT YOU NEED Drover is a client for a machine you already own. To use it for real you need a computer running Herdr (herdr.dev) with your coding agents in it, SSH access to that machine with key-based authentication, and Herdr 0.8.0 or newer. PRIVACY Dictation runs entirely on your device — Drover will not fa The experimental voice assistant is different: it asks for your consent before first use, and while a voice session is running your speech transcripts, agent context and message drafts are sent to Google's Gemini. Notifications carry a fixed message and never any of your t key is stored in the iOS Keychain and never leaves your device. Drover is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Herdr project, Anthropic, OpenAI, or GitHu certified by any of them.
