Each figure is the marketplace's own and is never added up across marketplaces. A marketplace that publishes no figure shows none: no number is not zero.

Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.

What each says it does

LokalBot

In its own words, on Community GitHub marketplaces:

Your personal context engine. Claude Code reads your local LokalBot library on macOS, Windows, or Linux through lokalbot-cli: meetings and their action items, the people in them, the folders you chose under Files, and what you shared about yourself, each behind its own permission in LokalBot. Adds /lokalbot:brief, /lokalbot:recall, and /lokalbot:setup and the lokalbot-cli skill. With a separate permission, Claude can also check and change LokalBot's settings; changes that widen what LokalBot captures wait for your approval in the app.

Apple Reminders

In its own words, on Official MCP Registry:

List, create, update, complete, and delete reminders in Apple Reminders on macOS.

How to run each

Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.

Tools each declares

Neither one's marketplaces publish a list of tools, so there is nothing to compare.

Settings each asks for
