Shepd
Read full descriptionHide full description
Step away from your desk, not your coding session. shepd connects your iPhone to your development machine over SSH, so you can interact with terminal-based coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, and GitHub Copilot CLI wherever you have a connection. Check progress, read terminal output, answer prompts, and send your next instruction without returning to your computer. YOUR AGENTS, YOUR MACHINE Use the command-line tools installed on your own computer or server. Your agents and development environment run remotely; shepd gives you terminal access from your iPhone. HERDR AND TMUX Connect directly to herdr when it is installed on your host. Browse and resume tmux sessions, create new ones, or open a regular SSH shell. Dedicated Prefix and Help controls make working with herdr and tmux easier on a small screen. CONTROLS BUILT FOR TOUCH Use Esc, Tab, Ctrl, and slash shortcuts from the terminal toolbar. Navigate with the on-screen directional touchpad, or hide the keyboard and switch to Browse mode. BRING VISUAL CONTEXT Upload a photo to your remote host and insert its file path into the terminal, ready to reference in tools that support image input. SAVED CONNECTIONS Keep host profiles on your device. Connect using a password or SSH key, review host key fingerprints, and store credentials separately in secure storage. REQUIREMENTS An SSH-accessible computer or server is required. Coding agents, herdr, and tmux must be installed separately on the remote host for their respective features. AI services may require separate accounts or subscriptions. shepd is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic, GitHub or any other company Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
