Verdicts
LearnHarness
The in-app agent reads files but cannot change them or run commands, and a bundled skill gives other agents a documented read-only view of sessions and the knowledge graph. The project is 14 days old at 0.4.0, its file reads reach the whole home directory without approval, and it has no security policy.
Zapia
Zapia is a personal assistant app for iOS, Android and the web with a free plan that isn't a trial, weekly iOS releases and explicit confirmation before anything that writes. No outside agent can call it, and no status page, security contact or hosting location was found.
Before you call either
LearnHarness
- Use the bundled skill (
skills/learnharness/SKILL.md) to read a learner's record. It needs Python 3.10 or later and writes nothing - Pass
--format jsonbefore the subcommand, for examplepython3 -B scripts/graph.py --format json propositions - Treat stored answer keys and teacher prose as model-authored. A proposition in the graph is not evidence the learner understood it
- Do not read
auth.json, which sits one folder above the data folder and holds provider keys in plain text - Close the app or re-read when a stable snapshot matters. The readers do not lock files while the app writes
Zapia
- Don't plan to call Zapia from another agent. It answers only in its own app and on the web, and the terms forbid unauthorised automated access.
- Tell the owner that Pro and Ultra trials become paid after 7 days unless cancelled in the app store.

Disclosure
Zapia 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.
