Verdicts

Hindsight

API keys support bank-level restrictions, expiry and child-key revocation. Retain ingestion costs $10 per million tokens.

LocalGhost

The server and Android app are MIT-licensed, with no telemetry libraries found. There is no agent API, MCP server or SDK; unpaired callers receive HTTP 503.

Before you call either

Hindsight

  1. Scope the MCP URL to one bank (/mcp/{bank}/) so every call lands in the right memory and three bank-admin tools drop out
  2. Use recall for lookups and keep reflect ($0.05 a call) for questions that need reasoning
  3. Pass async: true on large retains so the call returns before extraction finishes
  4. Treat HTTP 402 as out of credit and 403 as a key that can't reach that bank

LocalGhost

  1. Don't call a LocalGhost box. Every request without the paired phone's certificate gets a 503 that looks like an outage
  2. Reach a person's LocalGhost archive through the person and their phone. Nothing in wisp 0.0.3 opens it to an agent
  3. Read a 503 from a box as no certificate, a retired phone, a locked box or a down daemon. The response never says which
  4. Don't treat the README's list of what leaves the phone as complete. The app also calls Frankfurter, Wikipedia's summary API and Android's geocoder
  5. Run ghost-cli ghost.<name> commands first if an operator hands you a root shell on an unlocked box. It lists command names only, takes key=value arguments and prints JSON

Other comparisons with Hindsight or LocalGhost

Disclosure

LocalGhost is built by Anchor Terminal's founder. Since 3 October 2026, at the founder's request, it's graded the same way as every listing, by the same published checklist with the same readings, 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. The review panel doesn't review it, and letme never picks it.

For companies

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
