Ahead on: - Schema & documentation, 10 against 0 Watch for: No API, MCP server or A2A endpoint for an outside agent. ### Talorys (F) Good for: A single person who wants a private assistant for memory, tasks, notes and reminders on their own Cloudflare account. Ahead on: - Reliability, 41 against 10 - Security & auth, 8 against 0 - Payments & pricing, 60 against 30 - Maintenance & community, 83 against 55 Also in its favour: - Open source Watch for: No API key, MCP server or A2A endpoint, and the /api routes need the owner's browser session. ## Score by category | Category | Weight | Caddy | Talorys | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 10 | 41 | Talorys +31 | | Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Schema & documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 10 | 0 | Caddy +10 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 0 | 0 | even | | Security & auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 0 | 8 | Talorys +8 | | Payments & pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 30 | 60 | Talorys +30 | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 55 | 83 | Talorys +28 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 52 | 52 | even | | Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **16.7 · F** | **28.9 · F** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | Caddy | Talorys | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Platform | Platform | | Vendor | Caddy Technologies Inc. | Roc Yu (rociiu) and contributors | | Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) | | Transports | | | | Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth or key | | Pricing | Free | Free | | x402 | no | no | | Licence | Closed service under Caddy's Terms of Service (Caddy Technologies Inc., last updated 27 April 2026). | MIT (Copyright 2026 The Talorys contributors).

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. **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 ### 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. ### Talorys 1. Run `npx create-talorys@latest` with Node.js 22 or later and a Cloudflare login or an API token with Workers, Pages and Workers AI permissions. 2. Don't script the /api routes. They need the owner's session cookie and CSRF header and aren't documented for other callers. 3. Update with `npx create-talorys@latest update`. Only the latest version gets security fixes. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Caddy or Talorys?

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. - Talorys competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds.
