PrismKit

PrismKit is a developer's Swiss Army knife: a collection of fast tools that run entirely on your iPhone and iPad — offline, with nothing ever sent to a server. Paste a production token, a private config, or any sensitive data with confidence. Everything is processed locally on your device. TOOLS INCLUDED • JSON ↔ YAML — Convert between both formats in either direction. • JSON ↔ TOON — Convert to and from TOON, the compact format that saves tokens when working with AI models. • JSON Format — Format, validate, and minify with error detection. • Base64 — Encode and decode text. • URL Encode — Encode and decode URL strings. • JWT Decoder — Inspect the header and payload, see the expiry, and verify the HMAC signature (HS256, HS384, and HS512). • Hash — Generate SHA-256, SHA-512, and MD5. • QR Code — Generate and customize QR codes with colors, a logo, and PNG export. • UUID — Generate unique identifiers in batches. • Regex Tester — Test regular expressions and see matches and their groups. • Diff — Compare two versions of text line by line and spot the differences. BUILT TO BE FAST • Command palette (⌘K) to jump to any tool in seconds. • Mark your favorite tools to keep them within reach. • Copy any result with a tap. • Optimized for iPhone and iPad, with a two-column layout on larger screens. • Light, dark, and automatic themes. PRIVACY FIRST • 100% offline: no tool needs an internet connection. • No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. • We collect absolutely no data. Made by developers, for developers.

# Watch and control all your AI agents, from one app. Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Antigravity scatter across terminals and machines. Argus brings every session into one view, so you always know what's running, what's waiting on you, and what's done. ## One screen for every agent Every session from every machine in a single list, grouped by host and labeled by agent. Live status shows which are working, which are waiting on input, and which have gone idle, and the sessions that need you stay pinned to the top. ## See exactly what they did Open a session for the full transcript: prompts, replies, thinking, and every tool call. Fold the long parts or expand a single step, and tap any tool call to see the exact command it ran and what it returned, with model and token counts along the way. ## Jump in from anywhere Attach to a session's live terminal, watch it run, and type into it. Answer a permission prompt in place, review the code changes and git diffs it produced, or spawn, interrupt, and kill sessions without reaching for your laptop. ## Never miss a prompt Argus sends a push notification when a session needs your input, so a blocked agent doesn't sit idle while you're away. Notifications arrive even when the app is closed. ## Private and self-hosted Argus runs entirely on your own machines. You pair your phone directly to them over an end to end encrypted connection, so your prompts, code, and output never leave your control. Works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Antigravity in one list. Start on a single machine or scale to a fleet. _Source_: https://github.com/MunifTanjim/argus _Docs_: https://argus.muniftanjim.dev
