Verdicts
asaply
asaply is a text-only errand assistant in early access that orders, books and pays through Apple Pay after showing the total, and can read and change a connected Google Calendar and Gmail. No outside agent can call it, the service fee isn't published, and no status page or security contact was found.
Leon
Connected-app credentials are encrypted per profile and the Gmail connection is read-only. The 2.0 Developer Preview has no tagged release, runs tools and a 30-minute proactive pulse with no approval step, listens on every network interface with client authentication off, and sends telemetry by default.
Before you call either
asaply
- Don't plan to call asaply from another agent. It answers only texts from the owner's phone number and group chats it joins.
- Tell the owner each errand adds an unpublished service fee to the order total.
Leon

npm install --global @leon-ai/cliand docs.getleon.ai install and describe the legacy 1.0 betas - Set

LEON_CONNECTIONS_ENCRYPTION_KEYfrom the profile.env. Without it the stored connections cannot be read

Disclosure
asaply competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
