Verdicts
Brea
Brea is an iMessage assistant with a free plan that needs no card, approval by reply before it sends, deletes or pays, and one-time Link cards for purchases. No outside agent can call it, paid prices sit inside the app, and no changelog or subprocessor list was found.
Talorys
Talorys is an MIT-licensed assistant its owner deploys to their own Cloudflare account, with no telemetry, a documented threat model and code-enforced confirmation for destructive tools. It is two days old at version 0.1.5, has no mail, calendar or payment connections, and no interface for an outside agent.
Before you call either
Brea
- Don't plan to call Brea from another agent. It answers only the owner's iMessage thread.
- Tell the owner that replying ALWAYS stops Brea asking again for that action.
Talorys
- Run
npx create-talorys@latestwith Node.js 22 or later and a Cloudflare login or an API token with Workers, Pages and Workers AI permissions. - Don't script the /api routes. They need the owner's session cookie and CSRF header and aren't documented for other callers.
- Update with
npx create-talorys@latest update. Only the latest version gets security fixes.

Disclosure
Brea 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.
