AgentDeck vs Drover

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.

Drover is a mobile client for the AI coding agents you run under Herdr on your own computer. It turns them into something you can supervise from your phone. It is not a mobile terminal. Drover speaks the agent's language: it renders a running session as a readable chat, turns permission prompts into buttons you can tap, and tells you the moment an agent is waiting on you. NO SERVER IN BETWEEN Drover connects straight from your device to your own machine over SSH. There is no service in the middle. Your transcripts, your commands and your code go to your machine — the developer of this app cannot see them. The voice assistant is an experimental, opt-in exception: it sends to Google, not to the developer, after you accept its disclosure. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every agent and its status at a glance — waiting for you, working, done • Read the session as a chat, with Markdown, syntax-highlighted code and diffs • Answer an agent's permission prompt by tapping a button instead of typing into a raw terminal pane • Send follow-up instructions, cycle the agent's mode, or dictate by voice • Talk to an agent hands-free with the experimental voice assistant — launch it, send it a message, or answer its question, and hear back what's happening • Attach a photo from your camera or library for the agent to look at • Get a notification the moment an agent is blocked and needs you • Switch between several machines, or watch them all in one list TRY IT WITH NO SETUP Tap "Try the demo" on the first screen. It runs a scripted session entirely on your device, with no host and no connection, so you can see how Drover works before setting anything up. WHAT YOU NEED Drover is a client for a machine you already own. To use it for real you need a computer running Herdr (herdr.dev) with your coding agents in it, SSH access to that machine with key-based authentication, and Herdr 0.8.0 or newer. PRIVACY Dictation runs entirely on your device — Drover will not fa The experimental voice assistant is different: it asks for your consent before first use, and while a voice session is running your speech transcripts, agent context and message drafts are sent to Google's Gemini. Notifications carry a fixed message and never any of your t key is stored in the iOS Keychain and never leaves your device. Drover is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Herdr project, Anthropic, OpenAI, or GitHu certified by any of them.
