Trackshund vs ValetFS

Trackshund offers the most elegant way to monitor your MLflow experiments—a native iOS client that transforms your training runs, metrics, and models into a delightful, intuitive experience, whether you’re on the couch, commuting, or between meetings. Simply connect Trackshund to your MLflow tracking server, and it seamlessly syncs all your experiment data to your phone. You can access your information anytime—even offline or underground, with no signal required. WATCH RUNS LIVE Watch your loss curve update in real time as your model trains. Key experiment metrics take center stage on your Home screen, updating automatically so you’re never stuck babysitting a browser tab. VISUALIZE EVERY METRIC Enjoy full, native charts for every logged metric—designed in a clear, luminous style that prioritizes clarity over decoration. COMPARE RUNS SIDE BY SIDE Use real comparison tables that highlight what changed and what stayed the same. Pin a baseline and instantly see each run’s delta—making progress clear at a glance. INTELLIGENT RUN BRIEFS Get a feed of plain-language insights for every completed run—spot new bests, re-runs, and results within the noise. With Apple Intelligence, enjoy AI-generated experiment summaries that sound like a colleague catching you up. GET ALERTED Choose exactly when your phone should notify you: when a run finishes or fails, crosses a threshold you set, changes sharply, or starts to look off. All notifications are processed securely on your device. MANAGE YOUR MODEL REGISTRY Browse registered models, versions, aliases, and tags—or register a new model directly from a run. BUILT FOR OFFLINE Everything you’ve browsed is securely cached on your device. Read, filter, and compare with zero connectivity—any edits you make are queued and sync automatically when you’re back online. The server remains the source of truth, and stale data is always clearly marked. BRING YOUR OWN SERVER Trackshund connects to any open-source MLflow tracking server—on your laptop, LAN, Tailscale network, or cloud VM. Username and password authentication are fully supported. MADE FOR ML PRACTITIONERS Designed for data scientists and researchers who live in MLflow, Trackshund brings that same reliability to your pocket—fast, native, and genuinely beautiful. It speaks MLflow’s exact vocabulary, so there’s nothing new to learn. Trackshund is an independent, unofficial client for MLflow. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by MLflow, LF Projects, LLC, the Linux Foundation, or Databricks. "MLflow" is a trademark of LF Projects, LLC, used here only to describe compatibility. You bring your own MLflow server; Trackshund is simply a nicer window into it. Requires your own MLflow tracking server (open-source MLflow 3.13 or later). iOS 18 or later.

AI agents and build tools need your API keys. Handing them over usually means writing them into a dotfile, an environment variable or a config directory — where they sit forever, readable by anything on the machine, long after the job is done. ValetFS is the other way round. Your secrets live on your iPhone, in the Keychain, behind Face ID. When a tool on your computer needs one, ValetFS lends it — into memory, never to disk — and takes it back when you are finished. HOW IT WORKS • Install the ValetFS daemon on your computer and start it. It prints a QR code. • Scan the code with the app. The two are now paired. • Push a secret from your phone. It appears on the computer as an ordinary file that any tool can read — but it exists only in memory. • Close the app, and a grace timer starts. When it expires the daemon unmounts and wipes itself. Nothing is left behind on disk. END-TO-END ENCRYPTED Secrets are encrypted on your phone for one specific daemon, using X25519 key agreement and ChaCha20-Poly1305. The relay that carries them sees only ciphertext. We cannot read your secrets, and neither can anyone operating the infrastructure in between. BUILT FOR AGENTS Provision a session from the app and hand an AI agent a single connection key. The agent installs the daemon and joins — and you keep the authority to revoke it. One tap forgets the session, and a still-running daemon locks itself, unmounts, and wipes its memory. NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING There is no sign-up and no login. No analytics SDK, no advertising, no behavioural tracking. The app is a client for infrastructure you can inspect — the daemon and the relay are both open source. REQUIRES A COMPUTER ValetFS is a companion to the ValetFS daemon, which runs on macOS or Linux and is a free open-source download. The app on its own has nothing to pair with.
