EverOS vs LocalGhost

EverOS 89

OpenAPI document in the repository with 40 operations, every one with a description (25). llms.txt and llms-full.txt on docs.evermind.ai (10). Operation descriptions state purpose; when-not-to-use guidance appears in the docs, such as flush after add, rather than per operation (15 of 20). Typed request models with filter operators eq, ne, gt, gte, lt, lte and in, and 422 on malformed ids (12 of 15). curl examples for add, flush and search, and typed error codes such as SESSION_BUSY and EXTERNAL_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE (12 of 15). /api/v2 with /api/v1 kept as a legacy alias, a changelog and release notes (15). Total 89.

LocalGhost 49

Graded on the HTTPS API that ghost.secd serves to enrolled phones under /v1, the only programmatic interface, as the Khoj and Open WebUI dossiers graded their HTTP APIs. There's no public API or MCP server, and the README and llms.txt say the box answers every other caller, an agent included, as if it were down. ghost.secd builds an OpenAPI 3.0 document from a route table and serves it at /v1/openapi.json only to enrolled devices. At v0.0.6 the table holds 49 paths while server.go registers 109 by hand (46 and 105 at v0.0.5), although the code comment says no route can exist outside the spec (8 of 25). llms.txt on www.localghost.ai and Markdown docs throughout the repository (10). Route summaries say what each call does and some say when to use it, and there's no API reference beyond them (8 of 20). Request and response shapes come from Go structs by reflection, but several shapes are marked loose with additionalProperties, request bodies among them, and query formats sit in summaries and handlers rather than in the spec (6 of 15). No API examples, and error statuses are folded into one 503 page by design, so no error responses are documented (3 of 15). /v1 prefixes, dated notes per release in server/releases/ and a dated changelog page (14 of 15).

EverOS 78

Read for the API, with seven MCP tools on top. Searches take top_k and a method, and responses can be scoped by five ids (20 of 25). Filters nest with AND and OR, and /get pages results (18 of 20). Errors carry typed codes and say which are retryable (16 of 20). add is queued and returns 202, a busy session refuses deletion with nothing deleted, and the cloud purge needs a nonce confirmed within five minutes (12 of 20). A demo runs with no key and the minimal setup needs one OpenRouter key, with a Python library and the MCP server, one language (12 of 15). Total 78.

LocalGhost 39

Graded on the device API, as Schema is. /v1/news takes since and limit, the rate routes take hours or days and the Wikipedia route takes n, while /v1/home and /v1/rates return whole screens and nothing selects fields (12 of 25). /v1/days pages with before and limit, and /v1/wiki searches with q (12 of 20). edge.go folds every 400, 401, 403, 404 and 5xx a verified phone could get into the same 503 page, and the nginx path does the same with error_page, so the handlers' messages never reach the client and it can't tell a bad request from a locked box. Only a few statuses such as 409 pass through (2 of 20). Voice uploads are idempotent by id, /v1/lock is safe to repeat and trail deletion has a dry run, with no idempotency keys or retry guidance (10 of 20). The project's own Kotlin app is the only client, with no SDK and no documented way to enrol another (3 of 15).

EverOS 40

Self-hosted rule, with the price lines read for EverOS Cloud. No x402, MPP or L402 (0 of 40). No cloud price or plan found on evermind.ai, its FAQ, terms or docs (0). The open-source runtime is free with no card (20). An agent can install it from PyPI and run it with no account (20). Total 40.

LocalGhost 60

Read with the self-hosted rule, as the Khoj dossier did. Nothing is on sale. Pre-built boxes are planned at the cost of parts plus a 30 per cent margin with no price set, and the README's Ethereum donation address isn't a payment protocol on the tool's endpoints (0). Free under MIT with no account and no card, so 20, 20 and 20 on the last three lines.

EverOS 79

Local-software lines, as a library and server the owner runs. everos on PyPI with Python 3.12 or newer stated, plus a Windows guide (20). ci.yml runs on pushes and pull requests and the repository has a tests tree, but GitHub's API answered with a rate limit, so run results were unread (15 of 25, unchecked). 43 open issues and pull requests against 82 commits in 90 days; several outside bug reports, including a silent capture failure in the DSH plugin, have no reply (14 of 25). Keep a Changelog with semantic versioning declared and a 1.0 migration guide (15). Version 1.5.1 (15). Total 79.

LocalGhost 67

Read with the local-software lines, as the Goose, Aider, Khoj, Screenpipe and Open WebUI dossiers do, and graded on wisp 0.0.6 (tag v0.0.6, commit 2c4786d, 10 October 2026), which main pins at c706f92. Each release carries a reproducible linux-amd64 server bundle with install.sh, a signed APK, a source archive and SHA256SUMS signed by the site key, on GitHub and the mirror, and the setup page states Debian 13 on x86-64, TPM 2.0, an optional NVIDIA card and Android 15 or later. The v0.0.6 signature verified for us on 10 October. There's no .deb or package-manager install (18 of 20). The CI workflow runs build, vet and the Go tests against Postgres on every push to main. We ran the Go suite at v0.0.6 and at c706f92 on 10 October and every package passed, TestFetchListAndSpools included, which failed at v0.0.5. The Postgres tests skip without a database, and neither the CI badge nor the Actions page showed us a result (20 of 25). shields.io showed 0 open and 1 closed issue on 6 October. The release notes name their own regressions and fix them in the release: 0.0.6 ships the fix for the Wikipedia import that stopped at an invalid byte and for /v1/wiki answering every phone with an empty body, while the CRYPTO50 index fault seen on 3 October is still unexplained (20 of 25). 0.0.x tags with dated notes per release that say what changed and how a phone on the previous release moves over, but no breaking-change section, and the v0.0.4 tag sits on a commit (1062b7f) that main doesn't contain (9 of 15). 0.0.6, pre-1.0 (0).

EverOS 71

Apache-2.0 with a NOTICE file (30). Local data stays in the owner's Markdown and indexes. For the cloud, the privacy policy gives no retention periods, the terms and privacy policy word the training exceptions differently, and the privacy contact link points to a miromind.ai address (12 of 30). The README marks /api/v1 as a legacy alias that may be removed in a future major release, and a 1.0 migration guide exists, with no notice period (14 of 20). No outbound telemetry was found in the source, and the docs don't address it (10 of 20). Total 66.

LocalGhost 78

MIT for the server and the app, with the bundled licences in NOTICE.txt and TERMS files, and the terms page names LocalGhostDao as the copyright holder, as LICENSE does (30). The privacy page (updated 10 October 2026), llms.txt and the about page give the same list of outbound requests, and the hosts in the server and app code at v0.0.6 match it. The README's What leaves the box section still describes the weather pull as the three thousand larger places once a day, where 0.0.6 pulls about six thousand places a hundred every two minutes, as the privacy page and llms.txt say. Data on the box stays until the owner deletes it. The website and mirror say they keep no access logs, which we couldn't check on the live server, and the egress package's code comment still says the box fetches only when the phone can't. The earlier disagreement between the notes and the app is counted once, under negative events (25 of 30). No deprecation policy. Dated changelog and privacy entries say which older app versions keep the old lookups until updated, and the release notes say what was removed (10 of 20). No telemetry, analytics or crash reporting in the server or the app, stated in the README and the privacy page and consistent with the code. We found no switch for the exchange, ECB and Open-Meteo fetches or for the phone's daily read of the mirror manifest, where Open WebUI's 18 came with an offline switch (16 of 20).
