The product launched on 29 September 2026. No status page, OpenAPI file, SDK library or published rate limits were found, and the starter credit needs a card.\n\n**Offscreen.** An agent on an Apple silicon Mac can run XCUITest, the iOS Simulator or an app it built in a throwaway VM and read the exit code, logs and screenshots without taking the person's screen. The project is six days old at v0.0.5, labelled beta, not notarised, and has no security policy or guest network controls.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Agent 37 Cloud\n\n1. Send the key as `Authorization: Bearer` to api.agent37.com and as `X-Agent37-Key` to the instance URL. The Bearer form on instance URLs is deprecated\n2. Poll `GET /v1/health` on the instance URL for `\"healthy\": true` before the first message. `status: running` only means the machine is up\n3. Check whether `error` is a string before reading `error.code`. Transport errors are flat strings, and a failed turn returns 200 with `status: \"failed\"`\n4. Don't blindly retry an exec that timed out after 13 minutes. The command keeps running, so a retry starts a second copy\n5. Set `auto_sleep: true`, keep anything that must survive a sleep in a file, and allow a first-byte timeout of three minutes for wakes\n\n### Offscreen\n\n1. Read `.offscreen.toml` before running anything and use its `project` key and task names. Don't guess them\n2. Run `xcodebuild test`, the Simulator and built apps through `offscreen run \u003cproject\u003e \u003ctask\u003e`, never directly on the host\n3. Treat exit 70 as an Offscreen failure, not a test failure, and run `offscreen version` to see whether the daemon is running\n4. Ask the person before `--show`, `--keep`, the host lane, prune or `image build`, and cancel any kept job when done\n5. Read screenshots and `.xcresult` bundles from the directory `offscreen artifacts \u003cjob\u003e` prints\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Agent 37 Cloud or Offscreen?\n\nOffscreen scores 62.9 (B) on agent readiness against Agent 37 Cloud's 46.1 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Can an agent call Agent 37 Cloud and Offscreen without installing anything?\n\nAgent 37 Cloud has a hosted endpoint at https://api.agent37.com/v1. No hosted endpoint is listed for Offscreen.\n\n### Are Agent 37 Cloud and Offscreen open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Agent 37 Cloud. Offscreen is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agent37-vs-offscreen.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agent37-vs-offscreen.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"agent37\", \"b\": \"offscreen\"}`.
