Continuum turns your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch into a remote control for the command-line coding agents running on your own Mac. CODE - drive your agents from anywhere Start, monitor, and steer coding sessions running on your paired Mac. Review diffs and pull requests, approve plans, watch live terminals, and reply by voice. Step away from your desk without losing the thread. ANALYTICS - never get surprised by a limit Live rate-limit gauges show how much of your 5-hour and weekly allowances you have used. Historical token and cost analytics break your spend down by project and by model, with Apple Watch complications that put it on your wrist. WHY CONTINUUM - Pairs with your Mac. The Continuum Mac app does the heavy lifting and streams securely to your iPhone and Watch over your own network. - Local-first. Your prompts, code, and logs stay on your devices. - Built for developers who live in the terminal. HOW IT WORKS Continuum is a client. It does not host or resell any AI model. It reads the session and usage files that the developer tools already installed on your Mac write to disk, and it relays your input to those tools. You sign in to each tool with your own account or API key, obtained and paid for directly from that provider. Continuum shows you what you are already running. ACCOUNTS Continuum is free to download and free to use with your own provider accounts. An optional Continuum account keeps your workspace in sync across your devices. CONTINUUM PLUS SUBSCRIPTION Continuum Plus is an optional auto-renewable subscription that includes $25 of hosted AI usage every week, on every device. Every feature described above works without it. - Continuum Plus - $19.99 per month, 1 month duration, auto-renewing. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically for the same period and price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

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 Continuum's 1. Canvas UI Kit also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
