ContainerDesk vs Terminull

ContainerDesk is the native cockpit to manage your Docker containers and Kubernetes clusters remotely, from your Mac, iPad and iPhone. No Docker daemon exposed to the network, no agent to install: ContainerDesk talks to the Docker API and kubectl through a secure SSH connection. Your servers stay closed; you stay in control. DOCKER • All your containers, grouped by Docker Compose project • Real-time stats (CPU, RAM) and streaming logs with search • Start, stop, restart, remove, with confirmation • Interactive terminal and exec inside a container • File browser (download and upload) • Images (pull, remove, prune), volumes and networks • Create containers and deploy a local container to a remote server KUBERNETES • Pods by namespace, deployments, services, ingress • Logs, console and terminal inside a pod • Scale, rollout restart, edit ConfigMaps and Secrets • Guided Deployment creation • Cluster overview: top consumers A REAL TERMINAL A true interactive (PTY) terminal on your hosts and straight inside your containers and pods: autocomplete, colors, history. SECURITY FIRST • Everything goes through SSH, never an open Docker port • Human approval before every destructive action • Host keys verified (TOFU) with an alert on change • Secrets stored in the Keychain, never in the clear • Local audit log • Zero telemetry: your data never leaves your devices FROM MAC TO PHONE One native app on macOS, iPadOS and iOS. Organize servers with favorites and folders; with iCloud (Pro), they sync across your devices. PRO Unlock unlimited servers, Kubernetes, the MCP server (for AI agents), iCloud sync and deployment. One-time purchase, yours for life. Built for developers, sysadmins and homelab enthusiasts who want to manage Docker and Kubernetes cleanly, securely, from anywhere.

Terminull pairs with your Mac and lets you drive your AI coding agents from anywhere — on your iPhone or iPad. Watch them work, steer them, approve changes. End-to-end encrypted. Start real coding sessions from the couch, the train, or away from your desk. Your agent runs on your own machine, with your own tools and files. Terminull is just the window into it. WORKS WITH THE AGENTS YOU ALREADY USE Drive all your favorite command-line coding agents out of the box — including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Goose, and OpenCode. Terminull detects what is installed and drives it. Switch agent and model per session. BUILT FOR REAL WORK, NOT JUST CHAT - Rich streaming output: diffs, code blocks, to-do plans, and command results rendered natively - Multiple concurrent sessions with a live status carousel on your Lock Screen - Notifications when a session finishes, needs input, or hits an error — even if the app was force-quit - Scheduled runs that start on their own - Voice input with on-device transcription — dictate a task, hands-free PRIVATE BY DESIGN - End-to-end encrypted between your device and your Mac - Connects directly over your local network at home, or securely relayed when you are away - LAN-only mode keeps everything on your network with no cloud at all - No account required to pair with your own machine YOUR MACHINE, YOUR RULES The agent runs where your code lives. Nothing is uploaded to us — Terminull relays encrypted messages, never your source. Set restricted paths, pick your models, and bring your own provider keys. Get started in under a minute: install the free Terminull companion — a lightweight menu-bar app for your Mac — scan the pairing QR, and you are connected.
