Choose Hako when…
You want one list of agents across your Macs, sorted by who needs you, with questions you can answer from the Lock Screen. Hako keeps your existing herdr panes and carries the workflow between your phone and Mac with Handoff.
Which one fits your work?
We make Hako. Here’s why you might choose it, and why you might choose Prompt 3.
Choose Prompt 3 when…
You want Eternal Terminal, a local Mac shell, Apple Vision Pro support or synced server settings and command clips. Prompt’s Mac Omniview lets you watch multiple terminal tabs and send a command to all of them.
Side by side.
Compare the workflow and what it takes to get connected.

Hako’s agent workflow needs herdr and Terminal Bridge on your Macs, with Tailscale for access from your phone. Without herdr, it’s a plain SSH and Mosh terminal for Mac and Linux. See Hako’s setup and FAQ.
