Choose Hako when…
You mostly check on coding agents, switch projects and answer questions from your phone. Hako brings your herdr panes together and shows which agent needs you next.
Which one fits your work?
We make Hako. Here’s why you might choose it, and why you might choose Termius.
Choose Termius when…
You need the same SSH client across Apple devices, Android, Windows and Linux, or want SFTP, shared team vaults and collaboration tools.
