About Waycar
Waycar is a native iPhone and iPad app for developers who want to monitor and control coding agents running on their own Mac or Linux computers. It connects to hosts over SSH and can use mosh for live terminal sessions, with SSH fallback. The app brings agent and shell sessions from herdr or tmux into a console, where users can open terminals, read output, send prompts, respond to supported permission requests, and receive alerts when agents are blocked or done. It supports several coding-agent command-line tools, with controls varying by harness. Hosts must remain powered on and reachable. Waycar does not require an account or route terminal sessions through a cloud service. The free tier allows 10 new or resumed launches per rolling 30 days; Pro removes that limit. Waycar is designed for individual developers using their own machines.

Agent Guild
Agent Guild is a local tool for running and supervising AI coding-agent command-line sessions. It launches Claude Code, Codex CLI, Antigravity CLI, Grok Build, Docker Agent, and user-selected shells in real terminals on Windows, macOS, and Linux. A browser-based Yard displays active sessions as characters in customizable 3D environments, with six built-in worlds and support for user-created worlds. Developers can start, send input to, and stop the underlying terminal sessions from the Yard. An MCP server lets compatible AI clients operate the guild, and companion interfaces extend access to phones, tablets, VS Code, and TVs. The core software is free; Agent Guild: World is a separately named premium experience. Agent Guild is designed for developers who want a visual way to manage local AI coding-agent sessions.

Termio
Termio is a desktop terminal and SSH client for developers and operations professionals who work across local shells and remote hosts. It organizes connections into project workspaces with folders, favorites, startup commands, and reusable scripts or files attached to individual connections. Users can arrange independent local, SSH, WSL, and PowerShell sessions in tabs and resizable split panes, compose multiline commands, and upload files to remote connections. An AI copilot can use terminal context and run configured tools, while users choose an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Workspace files remain local and can be shared through Git repositories or other file-transfer methods. Termio stores SSH credentials in the operating system's credential store and is available as an installed application for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
