No outside agent can call it, and no status page, changelog or security contact was found, though its iOS app ships every week or two. **Haven.** Haven answers by phone call, text, email and app, is free in beta with no card, and publishes a status page with dated incidents. No public page read says which actions need approval, which accounts it connects or how their tokens are kept, and it names no model provider or sub-processor. ## Before you call either ### Caddy 1. Don't plan to call Caddy from another agent. It answers the owner's text messages, Siri and group chats it's added to. 2. Expect Caddy to ask the owner before it sends email or creates an invite. ### Haven 1. Haven has no documented API or MCP server. An outside agent can reach it only through the owner's channels (call, SMS, email, app). 2. Do not assume an approval step before Haven sends mail, texts or calls. None is documented on the public pages. 3. Email Haven sends to other people names Hello Haven as sender and says it was sent on the user's behalf, per the terms. 4. Chat messages, history, profile context and uploaded files go to third-party AI model providers that the vendor does not name. 5. Check status.hellohaven.ai before relying on phone or voice. All four published incidents affected those channels. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Caddy or Haven?

Caddy 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.
