Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
TermLink
Read full descriptionHide full description
TermLink turns your iPhone into a compact SSH companion for AI coding, server checks, and remote file handoff. Connect to your own SSH host with a password, an imported ed25519/ECDSA key, or a key pair generated in the app, copy the public key, and keep the setup steps close to the terminal. Upload screenshots or photos over SCP, then pass the remote path to Codex, Claude Code, or another AI coding workflow without retyping it. The local workspace stays inside the iOS app sandbox. Built-in commands cover file navigation, JSON formatting, Base64 encode/decode, and JavaScriptCore-backed Node-compatible snippets for safe learning and small experiments. Key features: - SSH profile setup: password authentication (stored only in this device's Keychain), import of existing OpenSSH ed25519/ECDSA private keys, including passphrase-protected keys (the passphrase is never stored) - 3-step ed25519 key setup: create, register on your server, test the connection. Switch an existing profile to the new key - Free quick-reply bar: 1, 2, 3, Enter, Esc, y and Shift+Tab in one tap to answer Claude Code and Codex prompts - Optional Face ID / Touch ID protection for private keys and saved passwords - Remote shell access from iPhone - SCP image upload and remote path handoff - Snippets for frequent SSH commands and AI prompts - Sandboxed local files and bundled command shims - JSON formatter, Base64 tools, and JavaScriptCore snippets - Japanese IME support and app language switching - Adjustable terminal font size - Optional Pro themes, multiple tabs, multiple SSH profiles, multiple snippets, and remote path insertion RSA keys are not supported. Passphrase-protected keys are supported in OpenSSH format (ssh-keygen's default encryption). Password authentication requires PasswordAuthentication to be enabled on the server. TermLink is built as an SSH companion, a command-line learning tool, and an AI coding handoff surface. It is not a native package manager, an external code store, or a way to run downloaded native executables after review. Japanese: TermLink は、iPhone から SSH ホストや AI コーディング環境へつなぐための端末ワークスペースです。SSH 接続(パスワード認証・パスフレーズ付きを含む鍵の読み込み・Face ID での鍵の保護に対応)、クイック返信バー、SCP 画像アップロード、Codex / Claude Code 向けのリモートパス連携、サンドボックス内ファイル操作、JSON 整形、Base64 変換、スニペット、Pro テーマなどを利用できます。アプリ外のコードをダウンロードして実行するネイティブパッケージマネージャーではありません。
Canvas UI Kit
Read full descriptionHide full description
Canvas is a universal React Native UI kit, and this is its reference app: the same component library running natively on your device rather than described in a web page. Browse the full catalog of components, from buttons and inputs through data tables, calendars, and charts. Every entry pairs a live, interactive example with its complete prop reference, so you can tap, type, drag, and toggle each control to see exactly how it behaves before you write any code. WHAT IS INSIDE - Live examples for every component, running as real native views - Full prop tables, generated from the library's own TypeScript source - Design tokens for color, typography, spacing, and layout - Templates and patterns showing how components compose into real screens - Instant search across the entire catalog - Light and dark themes, plus a glass surface mode BUILT THE WAY iOS EXPECTS Canvas components follow iOS design conventions, driven by a single component API. This app is the clearest way to see that: it is built entirely from the library it documents. Canvas is free and open source under the MIT license. No account, no sign-in, no ads, and no tracking of any kind.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Canvas UI Kit at none against TermLink's 1. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
