meshTerm: your agents and servers, from your phone A fast, private SSH and SFTP client built around the coding agents you run on your own servers. Keep Claude, Codex and Gemini and any other supported agent working in herdr, see what needs you at a glance, and answer from your phone. Your sessions keep running when your phone does not, so your shell and scrollback are still there tomorrow. HERDR, BUILT IN herdr is the open-source workspace that keeps your coding agents running on your host whether or not your phone is connected, and meshTerm is built for it. herdr is free on your host: One unlimited session, run multiple agents, tabs, workspaces. You only need Pro to use herdr on more than one host. The herdr side of the Agents tab puts what needs you first, then every session on every host. Tap Review to read an agent's request and approve it from your phone, or open the terminal right at its pane. Set Up herdr checks a host, installs herdr in one tap, turns on notifications and starts your first session. TMUX, THE WAY TMUX MEANT IT On any host with tmux 3.2 or newer, meshTerm speaks tmux's control protocol. It knows every window and pane, sizes them to your screen, and reattaches to the exact session you left, at the size you left it, with the scrollback intact. A tmux page in the keyboard palette creates, splits, zooms, renames, resizes and closes windows and panes in a tap, and on iPad the panes of a window sit side by side with dividers you can drag. Nothing to install on your server. BUILT-IN TAILSCALE meshTerm has its own Tailscale stack, running entirely in the app, so there is no separate Tailscale app and no conflict with any other VPN. Sign in or add an auth key and your device joins your tailnet over WireGuard. Add a tailnet device as a host in one tap. Multiple profiles switch between work and personal tailnets. AGENT CHAT Run Claude Code, Codex and Gemini on your own servers from a native chat: streaming replies, approvals that stay pinned until you answer, plan mode, usage chips, slash commands and file attachments. Get notified when an agent needs you, and resume past chats. DOCKER AND PODMAN (Pro) Manage containers on any host you have added: containers, images, volumes and networks, Compose stacks, logs, exec and prune. Nothing to install and nothing to expose, just the docker or podman CLI already on your server, over SSH. A KEYBOARD BUILT FOR THE TERMINAL A palette of features, your own key groups and one-tap session switching. A predictive strip suggests commands from your shell history, and a pill takes you back to the live prompt in full-screen tools. FILES, FORWARDS, SECRETS Browse, upload and download files over SFTP with iOS Files integration. Local forwards and SOCKS5 proxies per host. A Snippet Vault and a one-tap macro bar, with secret values kept in the iOS Keychain behind Face ID. Secret Profiles (Pro) inject keys into a running session, and a hidden key is brokered only to the commands you allow, so an agent can use it without ever reading it. SSH KEYS, SEARCH, ACCESSIBILITY Generate Ed25519 or ECDSA keys on-device, import passphrase-protected keys and install public keys in one tap. Search scrollback, tag and filter hosts, and read the terminal with VoiceOver. Full Spanish throughout. PRIVACY BY DESIGN No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking SDKs. Credentials and keys live in the iOS Keychain, hardware-encrypted and device-only. Your terminal never routes through us. Agent alerts, if you turn them on, come through Apple Push Notification service (APNs) via our relay, over encrypted connections, and carry nothing that identifies you, your hosts or your work. meshTerm Pro One host, one live session and one agent are free, and herdr is unlimited on that host. Pro lifts those limits, so herdr works on every host in one view, and adds Docker and Podman, Secret Profiles, agent Resume and iCloud Sync, which keeps hosts, keys, macros and preferences on every device, end-to-end encrypted.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

v0 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: v0 has 851 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of v0's written reviews are positive against 100% of meshTerm SSH Client Tailscale's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

v0 ships an update every 3 days, meshTerm SSH Client Tailscale every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
