For herdr · iPhone and iPad
Your Agents keep running on your Mac or Linux machine. Herdr Pocket shows all of them in one list, sorted by who needs you, and lets you answer from wherever you are, over SSH.

How it works
Your phone is the remote. The Agents stay where the code is.
On your Mac or Linux box, run your coding Agents in herdr and turn on SSH (on a Mac: Remote Login).
Connect a Computer walks you through a Tailscale setup, or add it by address, as you would after ssh.
Who needs you is on top. Open one, read what it did, and reply, approve or type into its terminal.
Features
Needs you
When an Agent asks a question or wants permission, the Needs you sheet shows it with the same choices the terminal offers, as native buttons. Pick one, or type your own answer.
Live terminal
Each Agent’s own terminal, streamed over SSH, with native scrollback, momentum scrolling, text selection and full-screen terminal programs.
Type straight into it, or write in the Composer with the full iOS keyboard, autocorrect and dictation, and send once. Control keys, Skills and Snippets are a tap away.
Chat
Read what the Agent said the way you read messages: Markdown, code blocks, the tools it ran, and Yes / No approvals right in the conversation.
Chat works for Claude Code, Codex, Pi, Oh My Pi, Grok Build and OpenCode on Mac and Linux computers running herdr.

Changes
Open the Agent’s checkout: the branch, the files it touched and a line-by-line diff of each. The chat’s status line shows the branch and the lines added and removed at a glance.
All your computers
Add the Mac on your desk, the build server and the Linux box under the stairs. Agents from all of them land in one list, sorted Needs you, Done, Working, Idle, with a page for each space, updated live.
Lock your phone or lose signal and they keep working. Connect a Computer sets up Tailscale step by step; ZeroTier, EasyTier and SSH jump hosts work too.
Works with herdr on macOS, Linux and Windows.
Attach a photo or a file up to 64 MB. It is copied to your computer and its path goes into your message.
On a computer running herdr, start a new Agent in a fresh git worktree from your phone.
Open Agents in their own windows, use a hardware keyboard, and drag files into the Composer.

Join Tailscale, ZeroTier or EasyTier inside the app, with no VPN profile, or go through an SSH jump host.
While the app is open, a sound, a buzz and a banner tell you when an Agent starts needing you.
Privacy and security
The app talks directly to a computer you control. We run no server, so nothing goes through us.
The SSH key is made on your device and its private half never leaves the Keychain. You confirm each computer’s fingerprint first.
Nothing to sign up for. Open the app and connect a computer.
Terminal output, prompts and files travel only between your device and your computer.
An iPhone or iPad on iOS or iPadOS 18 or later, and a Mac or Linux computer running herdr (or Herdr Core, the herdr project's standalone hc runtime) with an SSH server on. Native Windows computers running herdr work too.
No. Your Agents run on your computer in herdr; Herdr Pocket is the window onto them. They keep going when you lock your phone.
Yes. Join a Tailscale, ZeroTier or EasyTier network inside the app, with no VPN profile, or go through an SSH jump host.
