Shahi

Your coding agents shouldn't stop just because you left your desk. Shahi turns the AI coding agents running on your own computer into a conversation on your phone. Read what they're doing like a chat, answer their questions with one tap, and start new work from anywhere, while your computer keeps going. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every agent at a glance: which ones are working, which are done, and which are waiting on you. Add as many computers as you like and switch between them. • Answer permission prompts and questions in one tap. Before anything is pressed, the answer is checked against the agent's live screen. • Read conversations as clean messages, with tool activity tucked away, subagents and task lists shown, and images inline, instead of a terminal squeezed onto a small screen. • Reply, attach photos and files, pick a slash command, or tap a quick reply. • See what an agent changed: the files and the diff, without leaving the conversation. • Start a new agent in any project, with the permission mode you choose. • Open the real terminal whenever you need it, with a key bar for the keys a phone lacks. • Preview files and PDFs from your computer. • Keep an eye on your Claude Code and Codex plan limits. WORKS WITH YOUR SETUP Shahi connects to herdr, the open-source terminal workspace for coding agents, on your own Mac or Linux computer, so your phone shows the same workspaces and agents as your desk. Reader works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and Antigravity. Setup is one command on your computer and one QR scan; no VPN and no port forwarding. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • End-to-end encrypted. The relay that connects your phone to your computer can't read your conversations. • Prefer no third party at all? Connect over your own SSH instead. • Your code and conversations stay on your computer. There's no account to create. • Open source, under the MIT license. Available in English, Arabic and Spanish. WHAT YOU NEED A Mac or Linux computer running herdr with the free Shahi plugin. Get started at getshahi.dev.
