Vonode vs Hood

Vonode turns the Vonode node you run on your own server into a phone app for your numbers. Read and send texts, make and answer calls over cellular or Wi-Fi Calling, manage eSIM profiles and check line health for the SIM and eSIM lines in your own modems. WHAT YOU NEED Vonode is a companion app. It requires a Vonode node that you install and run yourself (Linux, with systemd or Docker), a compatible cellular modem, and your own SIM or eSIM with service from your carrier. Vonode does not provide hosting, mobile service, SIM plans, hardware or carrier access; these are the user's responsibility. MESSAGES • One inbox for every number on your node • Sender rules move unwanted texts to Filtered and show why • Verification codes stay in your inbox even when a sender rule matches (node software v1.4.2 or later) • Optional notifications with encrypted message previews CALLS • Phone-style keypad with contact suggestions, Recents and quick call back • Calls over cellular, or over Wi-Fi Calling where your carrier and modem support it • Always-allow and always-block lists, and a Blocked list that shows why NUMBERS AND eSIM • Signal, network, data and readiness for every line at a glance • Switch, enable, disable and remove eSIM profiles on supported eUICC cards in your modem • Keep-alive estimates for prepaid numbers, with reminders before the date • A line check that explains SIM, network, data, SMS and calling status in plain language ALSO • Wi-Fi Calling connection steps and network-path guidance (node software v1.4.2 or later) • Your own plan, balance and renewal notes in Card ledger (node software v1.4.3 or later) • Several nodes, USSD, device controls and the automations configured on your node • Contact names are matched on your device only, and only if you turn them on • Encrypted App Backup to move your settings and paired nodes to a new iPhone • English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean • Node credentials are kept in the iOS Keychain IN-APP PURCHASE Without Vonode Lifetime, you can choose one number on one node and read in the app the SMS it receives over the cellular network, and, with node software v1.4.2 or later, over Wi-Fi Calling. With node software v1.4.2 or later, you can also use Filtered, mark messages as spam or not spam, and set sender rules for that number. Node management (paired phones, administrator password, backups and updates) is also included. Outside an active trial, access to calls, sending messages, notifications, eSIM, automation, diagnostics and more numbers requires Vonode Lifetime, a one-time In-App Purchase available in the app. Vonode Lifetime unlocks one node with every feature for as long as VONODE LLC offers the Vonode services and does not renew. 7-DAY TRIAL Eligible users with node software v1.4.3 or later can obtain a free 7-day Trial, a non-consumable In-App Purchase. It unlocks one node for 7 days (168 hours) from the original App Store purchase time, even if activated later. One trial per Apple Account, node and app installation; eligibility is checked. Restoring purchases or reinstalling does not restart it, and it cannot move to another node. It does not renew or turn into a payment. At its end, calls, sending, notifications and other unlocked features stop. Your data is kept; one-number SMS access depends on this phone's free-plan slot being available. The trial needs an online node and relay; offline time is not added. You may buy Vonode Lifetime separately at the price shown in the app. Vonode is not an emergency communications service. Availability depends on your hardware, node, network and carrier. Terms of Use: https://vonode.cc/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://vonode.cc/privacy/ With node 1.4.5+, restricted actions require three lawful-use confirmations. You may decline and stay read-only; older nodes remain available for reading, maintenance and upgrade. Report misuse: support@vonode.cc.

Sometimes you open an app to check one thing and stay longer than you meant to. Hood helps you leave a little room for the rest of your day. Choose the apps you tend to get lost in, give yourself some time to use them, and have a clear place to stop. A little space before you open an app Lock keeps an app visible with a screen that asks you to pause. Block hides an app while protection is on. Open Hood when you want to use it again. A stopping point of your own Choose 15–60 minutes of temporary access. When time is up, Hood locks or hides the app again. You can end access early, too. If you ask Hood to start another session soon after one ends, a short breathing pause gives you a moment to decide. Small moments, little stars Eligible sessions can earn paper stars. Keep them in your jar, then scatter them into your own night sky. Your collection can sync through your private iCloud storage, so those little reminders can stay with you. A clearer picture of your day See your app use today or over the past seven days, and take a closer look at each app. No scores to chase—just a little perspective on where your time goes. Start with a little. Make room for more. The free plan includes one Lock slot, temporary access and its breathing pause, usage reports, your existing star collection, and up to one eligible paper star per day on each device. Hood Pro gives you four Lock slots in total, four Block slots, standalone breathing practice, and no daily limit on eligible paper-star rewards. Monthly and annual subscriptions offer the same benefits. Prices and any available trial are shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled; manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Getting started Hood works on iPhone with iOS 18 or later, in English and Simplified Chinese. There is no Hood account to create. Screen Time access is needed for app protection and usage reports. Permission changes and iOS background delays can affect protection and when it returns; some apps and device configurations cannot be restricted. Your protection choices are stored on your device. Stars can sync through iCloud. Firebase provides crash diagnostics and app configuration, and PostHog provides product analytics using a random installation identifier and limited interaction data. Product events do not include PIN digits, selected app names or the contents of protected apps. App Store builds do not enable session replay. Our privacy policy explains more.
