AgentDeck is a private mobile client for OpenClaw and Hermes that puts you in control of your agentic workflows. Connect your own relay through Cloudflare R2 and keep your agent server behind its firewall, without relying on a centralized chat service. Continue your sessions from your iPhone or iPad with cross-device reliability, keeping your home or office machine safely behind its firewall and never exposing it to the public internet. # A Native, Optimized Experience AgentDeck isn't just a relay; it's a refined interface designed specifically for high-level agent interaction: • Custom Agent Commands: Trigger complex agent behaviors with a dedicated Command UI-no more typing long CLI strings on a mobile keyboard. • Human-in-the-Loop Confirmation: Stay in control of autonomous actions with a native Confirmation UI that lets you review and approve sensitive agent tasks before they execute. • Full Attachment Support: Seamlessly send images and files to your vision-capable agents directly from your mobile photo library or files app. • Comfortable Reading: Choose between "Bubble" or "Terminal" styles with customizable fonts and a roomy iPad split-view. # How it Works • Install: Add the AgentDeck relay integration to your OpenClaw or Hermes setup. • Connect: Link the integration to your own Cloudflare R2 bucket. • Sync: Point AgentDeck at your relay. Normal usage stays comfortably within Cloudflare's generous free tier. # Why Power Users Choose AgentDeck • Private by Design: Your OpenClaw or Hermes server stays private; Cloudflare R2 acts as the delivery layer. • Decentralized & Secure: A self-hosted relay ensures you retain 100% ownership of your transcripts and data. • Seamless Continuity: Pick up active sessions away from your desk and inspect server details at a glance. • Pro Visibility: Browse servers, agents, and detailed session transcripts with a mobile-first UI that outperforms a simple terminal. You bring the data store. You own the data. AgentDeck handles the rest. Open source under the MIT License. Project and setup guides: https://github.com/dodid/AgentDeck.
