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.

SSH, Mosh and SFTP on the iPhone. A terminal built so that fixing something from your phone is not a punishment. A REAL TERMINAL, NOT A VIEWER Complete, with colours, control keys and scrolling. Mosh keeps the session alive when you move from Wi-Fi to mobile data or the subway swallows your signal. And built-in SFTP: browse, upload and download files on the server without leaving the session or switching apps. SAY WHAT YOU WANT AND IT WRITES THE COMMAND You dictate and the AI writes the exact command. "Show me the nginx logs live" becomes journalctl -u nginx -f. "Close claude and open agy" becomes pkill -f claude && agy. You choose: Review writes each command so you press Enter; Safe auto only runs the limited set termi1 recognises as safe. Any change or unknown command waits for your Enter; a generated command carrying unexpected control characters is blocked, and informational text is shown neutralised. It knows today's tools, not just the ones from the nineties: claude, agy, codex, gh, ripgrep, fd, uv, bun, docker, kubectl, tailscale. IT KNOWS WHEN IT IS IN PRODUCTION Mark each server as personal, staging or production; termi1 never guesses it from the name. In production nothing runs on its own, and anything that deletes, stops or changes something is shown first with the reason and a read-only alternative: writing it takes a hold, and even then it is written without Enter. It protects what termi1 writes for you, not what you type. And it keeps a local receipt, only on your phone, of what the app wrote for you. YOUR KEYS NEVER TRAVEL Generate an SSH key on the phone itself: it is born here and never leaves. It is stored in the Keychain behind Face ID, like your passwords. You can also paste one you already have. MADE FOR TYPING WITH YOUR THUMB The row of keys the system keyboard hides. Your shortcuts one tap away. Tap to place the cursor. Split screen on iPad. And the microphone wherever you want it, left or right. EIGHTEEN COLOUR SCHEMES Two strips: nine vivid and nine pastel. The whole app adapts to the one you pick, not just the grid. WITH AN ACCOUNT, IF YOU WANT Your saved connections and shortcuts follow you to any device. Without an account the app works the same; they just stay on this one. WHAT IS FREE The terminal, all of it. Dictation, all of it. With an account, three AI commands a day. AI+ removes the cap. YOUR MAC, ONE CODE AWAY Install termi1 Companion on the Mac, press Pair and type the six-digit code on the iPhone: your key is installed with nothing to copy, nothing to paste and no editing of authorized_keys. If the Mac is on a private network such as Prialo or Tailscale, that same connection works away from home too. WHAT YOU LEAVE RUNNING IS STILL THERE A persistent tmux session, per connection: close the app, come back later, and the build, the migration or the agent you left working is where you left it. And at login, one line with the server's state: system, uptime, load, memory and disk. MORE KEYS, LESS TYPING The fn key opens the plane with F1–F12, PgUp/PgDn, Home and End, the one htop, mc and nano ask for. As you type, termi1 offers the command's options: “ls” hands you -la; “git”, its verbs. And the SFTP browser sorts by name, date or size, with preview and copy path. SHORTCUTS, SIRI AND THE ACTION BUTTON Open a connection or launch one of your shortcuts from Shortcuts, Siri, the Action button or Control Centre. termi1 always comes to the front: the key goes through Face ID and, on a server you tagged as production, Production Guard shows the command and waits. In sixteen languages.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: termi1 at none against Dandelion's 1. termi1 also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
