Nerd Font Installer puts your terminal and coding fonts on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro. Browse the catalog, preview the real glyphs, and install through the system's own consent sheet. No account. No analytics. Your data never leaves your device. THE CATALOG JetBrains Mono, Fira Code, Hack, Cascadia Code, Iosevka, Monaspace, Zed Mono, OpenDyslexic, and the rest of the canon. The app ships the complete catalog, and each family is patched with the full Nerd Fonts glyph set, so Powerline arrows, Font Awesome, Material Design, Devicons, Octicons, and Weather icons render instead of showing tofu. The grid reads like a periodic table: every family gets a tile with its own designation, drawn in the font itself. PREVIEWS THAT TELL THE TRUTH Previews are rendered live in the real font: programming ligatures, Powerline segments, and syntax-highlighted code samples, alongside every icon set. What you see is what your prompt gets. THE INSTALL Installation goes through the font support Apple builds into iOS. iOS draws its own consent sheet, you approve it, and the font is available system-wide: in your terminal, your editor, wherever fonts are picked. Nothing installs behind your back, and removing a font is just as direct. AFTER THE INSTALL A quickstart shows where your new font turns up in the terminal and editor apps you already run, including the ones that keep their own font lists, and it coaches the exact family name to pick. FREE FOR MOST PEOPLE One font is free, and one is what most setups need. Installing more is a single one-time purchase. No subscription. Buy it once, keep it for good, and share it with your family. PRIVACY Nerd Font Installer has no user accounts and ships no analytics, telemetry, or advertising SDKs. There is no tracking SDK in it because there is no tracking. The privacy policy is short enough to actually read. CREDITS The fonts belong to their designers and to the Nerd Fonts project. Every family ships under its own open-source license, readable in the app. I built the installer; they built the fonts. Built by Rimrock Systems in Payson, Arizona.

About

Prosper Remote

Features
Read full description

Prosper Remote puts your Mac's terminal in your pocket. It attaches to terminal sessions running on your Mac and streams them to your iPhone or iPad — the very same session, with full scrollback and live output. Start something on your desk, walk away, and pick it up on your phone exactly where you left it. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Same session, not a new one. Sessions live on your Mac (a dtach-style server), so reconnecting restores the live screen — no lost output, no restarts. • Built for flaky mobile networks. Lose signal in an elevator or on the subway and Prosper silently reconnects and repaints right where you were. • No passwords to manage. Your phone and Mac talk over your private Tailscale network; the Mac only accepts devices already on your tailnet. • Fast, lightweight, native. A real terminal renderer with true color, proper reflow, and a tuned on-screen key bar — Esc, Tab, Ctrl, arrows, Home/End, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-D and more, styled to stay out of your way. BUILT FOR REAL WORK • Manage multiple sessions per machine — create, rename, attach, stop. • Switch between machines you've connected to before. • Keyboard-aware layout keeps your prompt and its footer visible as output streams in. GET STARTED 1. Install Prosper on your Mac and enable Remote Terminal. 2. Install Tailscale on your Mac and this device, signed into the same account. 3. Enter your Mac's Tailscale name and connect. No machine yet? Tap "Try the demo" to explore a sample session with zero setup. Prosper is free.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Prosper Remote at none against Nerd Font Installer's 1. Prosper Remote also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). Nerd Font Installer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
