You run multiple products. You shouldn't need multiple dashboards to check on them. PocketHog pulls every PostHog project you manage into a single scrollable feed: visitors, signups, purchases, trend charts, and period-over-period deltas, all on one screen. Open your phone, see everything, move on with your day. Sign in with PostHog in one tap. No API key needed for Cloud. EVERY PROJECT, ONE FEED Other PostHog tools show you one project at a time. PocketHog shows you all of them. Each project gets its own card with visitor counts, sparklines, and percentage changes. Scroll through your entire portfolio in seconds. Weekly or monthly view, your choice. Reorder and rename projects to match how you think about your business. ADD CHARTS FOR THE EVENTS YOU CARE ABOUT Each project card expands with extra chart tiles for any PostHog event: signups, purchases, tutorial completions, API calls, whatever you track. Every tile shows its own sparkline, count, and trend. Pair two events side-by-side to spot patterns across the metrics that matter to each product. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS FOR EACH PROJECT Small and medium iOS widgets, each tied to a different project. Pick which metric each widget displays. Glance at your home screen and know how three products are doing without opening anything. ANNOTATIONS ACROSS YOUR PORTFOLIO Mark launches, releases, and experiments directly on your charts. ONE TAP TO GO DEEPER When a number catches your eye, jump straight from any project card to PostHog Max AI for full analysis. PocketHog is the quick read; PostHog is the deep dive. WORKS WITH YOUR SETUP One-tap OAuth for US Cloud and EU Cloud. Personal API key for self-hosted. Credentials stored in iOS Keychain. Filter out test accounts and internal traffic. NO SUBSCRIPTION, NO PER-PROJECT PRICING, NO FEATURE GATES. Built for founders, agencies, and teams who ship more than one thing and want to know how all of it is doing.

Your coding agents, away from your desk. HerdrChat is an SSH chat client for Claude Code, Codex and OMP sessions running on a computer you own. Check progress, read conversations and answer an agent without navigating a desktop terminal on a small screen. STAY ON TOP OF YOUR WORK See which conversations need your input, which agents are working and which are idle. Replies read like a document, with code and formatting, and each run of tool activity folds into one line ("Ran 3 commands · edited 1 file") you can open. The chat header shows the model and effort level. Reply from the chat composer or use supported numbered choices when an agent asks for approval. Pin the chats you care about to the top, and mute notifications for the ones you don't. SLASH COMMANDS Type / to send Claude Code commands such as /model, /effort, /compact and /context. When a command opens a picker, it appears on your phone: choose a model or effort level and apply it for this session only or as your default. KNOW WHEN AN AGENT NEEDS YOU Turn on notifications and your computer tells you when an agent is waiting for you or has finished, with the chat's name and what the agent said. Tap one to open that chat. SEND A PICTURE Attach screenshots or photos to a message. They are copied to your computer over the same SSH connection and handed to the agent with your prompt. MADE FOR iPHONE AND iPAD On iPhone, move between your chats, hosts and settings. On iPad, keep the conversation list beside the selected chat, with a settings layout designed for the larger screen. Light and dark appearances are included. YOUR MACHINE, YOUR CONNECTION Connect over SSH using your own password or private key. Host-key fingerprints are pinned, and a changed host key stops the connection until you explicitly review it. Tailscale is recommended for reaching your computer privately. Credentials are kept in the device Keychain. Conversation caches stay on your device and can be cleared in Settings. HerdrChat has no account system, developer-operated chat server, advertising or analytics SDK. If you turn on notifications, they pass through a small HerdrChat relay that forwards them to Apple and keeps nothing. TRY THE BUILT-IN DEMO A short welcome on first launch walks through what your computer needs. The local Demo host is available without an account, server or purchase. Explore sample conversations, answer an approval prompt and send a sample message. Demo replies are simulated; nothing is sent to a computer or AI service. WHAT YOU NEED FOR REAL USE A computer you administer, reachable over SSH, with herdr and Claude Code, Codex or OMP installed and configured. Agent accounts and any provider charges are separate and are not supplied by HerdrChat. The agents and their commands run on your computer, not on your iPhone or iPad. HerdrChat does not include an AI subscription. Open source under Apache-2.0: github.com/cobanov/herdrchat
