CmdForge
Read full descriptionHide full description
CmdForge is a command and snippet organizer for personal use. Save commands and text snippets you use often, organize them into groups, and copy them with one tap. Search finds a saved command quickly. Everything is stored locally on your device. There are no accounts, no ads, and no analytics. An optional feature lets you sync your commands to a Google Sheet. This requires your own Google Cloud service account credentials, which you create and manage yourself. CmdForge does not run its own servers and does not see your data.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CmdForge at none against KeyNest's 1. KeyNest's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
