Dandelion vs a+Terminal

Dandelion is an agent desk for your iPhone. Open it and it works: the free built-in provider needs no key. CHAT Talk to a model straight away. Dandelion ships with a free built-in provider, so there is nothing to sign up for and nothing to pay. Bring your own key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, Mistral, OpenRouter, Together or xAI if you would rather — or point it at Ollama or LM Studio on your own machine, and those chats stay on your network. Before your words go to any cloud provider for the first time, Dandelion names the company about to receive them, and waits. 280+ TOOLS Your agent can do things, not just talk. It generates images, runs cited deep research, browses the live web with a real browser, remembers what matters, checks its mail, and reaches for whichever of 280+ tools the moment calls for. Results land in the conversation as pictures, video and voice. Your API keys are never shown to the AI model. STUDIO Portrait Studio: pick a photo, describe a scene, and get yourself back somewhere else. Free, five a day. Add your own key and generate images, video and voice too. AGENT Plant a durable agent on the WingMan gateway: claim a handle once, and resume your whole self — identity, memory, mail, persona — in a single call. Change its persona and it talks differently on the very next message. Set a watch and it tells you when something happens. Delete it and its identity, memory, mail, posts and credits are removed from the gateway; public directory listings and some request logs are kept. DISCOVER Templates your agent can run end to end, and a searchable directory of about 1,200 listings — tools, MCP servers, skills and agents. — Free to use. No ads. Keys and secrets live in the Keychain. Chats with your own provider key go straight from your phone to that provider. Chats with the free built-in model, and all agent tools, run through our server, which keeps a log of requests tied to your agent handle, plus short-lived system logs that can include message text for up to 7 days. Portrait photos are sent to a third-party generation service only after you agree. Dandelion Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription, $2.99 per month, that removes the daily cap on identity portraits. The five free portraits a day stay free, always, and every other feature in Dandelion remains free. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.

a+Terminal is a privacy-first SSH terminal for working on your own machines from your iPhone — built around tmux and CLI AI coding agents. It's agent-agnostic: run any CLI coding agent, with plug-and-play profiles you can extend yourself. SCROLLING THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Swipes become real mouse-wheel events, so tmux and your agent's output scroll natively, with momentum — no more fighting copy-mode. SPEAK YOUR PROMPTS Push-to-talk dictation inserts straight into the terminal. Recognition runs entirely on your iPhone; audio never leaves the device. NEVER LOSE YOUR SESSION Live Activities and the Dynamic Island show your active sessions at a glance. Tap to jump back in — a+Terminal reconnects and re-attaches your session multiplexer (tmux, zellij, and more) automatically. PREVIEW YOUR DEV SERVER Start a dev server on the machine you're connected to and a+Terminal spots the port — from the URL your framework prints, or from the machine's own listener table. Tap it and the page opens over the SSH connection you already have. It renders in a viewer built for exactly one thing: the single port you forwarded. Every other address is refused, nothing it loads is kept, and it is not a web browser. Reload with a tap, and switch between the mobile and desktop layout to check both. MONITOR YOUR MAC Add a Monitor (VNC) session to watch your own computer's screen sharing right from your phone. Sign in with your macOS account and you land straight on the desktop; pinch to zoom and pan. Pop the screen out into a floating Picture-in-Picture window to keep an eye on it while you use other apps. Turn on Control to tap, drag, and type — enough to unlock a locked Mac and take over. It stays view-only until you do, and it connects only to the machine you enter. (Beta.) ZERO DATA COLLECTION No analytics, no accounts, no crash SDKs, no servers of ours. The App Privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because there is nothing to collect it with. The only network traffic is your own connections to machines you configure. SUPPORT THE APP An optional tip jar lets you support a+Terminal's development. Tips are one-time and unlock nothing — every feature is always available. • ed25519 keys generated on-device, stored in the Keychain (never exportable, never in backups) • Password authentication option, stored in the Keychain only • Trust-on-first-use host key pinning with hard mismatch failures • Sticky Ctrl and C-b (tmux prefix) keys, Esc/Tab/arrows accessory bar • Attach an image or file from your phone over the existing SSH connection • Plug-and-play agent & multiplexer profiles — any CLI agent, tmux, zellij, screen — or define your own, no update required • Multiple simultaneous sessions with server groups • Preview a dev server running on the far end, over the SSH connection you already have — port detection and a single-port viewer • Monitor (VNC): view-only screen sharing for your own Mac, with a floating Picture-in-Picture window and optional touch & keyboard control (beta) • Light, dark, and follow-system themes Privacy Policy: https://aaroncx.github.io/a-plus-terminal/privacy
