Continuum vs Herdwick

Continuum turns your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch into a remote control for the command-line coding agents running on your own Mac. CODE - drive your agents from anywhere Start, monitor, and steer coding sessions running on your paired Mac. Review diffs and pull requests, approve plans, watch live terminals, and reply by voice. Step away from your desk without losing the thread. ANALYTICS - never get surprised by a limit Live rate-limit gauges show how much of your 5-hour and weekly allowances you have used. Historical token and cost analytics break your spend down by project and by model, with Apple Watch complications that put it on your wrist. WHY CONTINUUM - Pairs with your Mac. The Continuum Mac app does the heavy lifting and streams securely to your iPhone and Watch over your own network. - Local-first. Your prompts, code, and logs stay on your devices. - Built for developers who live in the terminal. HOW IT WORKS Continuum is a client. It does not host or resell any AI model. It reads the session and usage files that the developer tools already installed on your Mac write to disk, and it relays your input to those tools. You sign in to each tool with your own account or API key, obtained and paid for directly from that provider. Continuum shows you what you are already running. ACCOUNTS Continuum is free to download and free to use with your own provider accounts. An optional Continuum account keeps your workspace in sync across your devices. CONTINUUM PLUS SUBSCRIPTION Continuum Plus is an optional auto-renewable subscription that includes $25 of hosted AI usage every week, on every device. Every feature described above works without it. - Continuum Plus - $19.99 per month, 1 month duration, auto-renewing. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically for the same period and price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Answer your coding agents from your phone. Herdwick connects to herdr on your own Mac or Linux machines over SSH. See what your agents did and reply from iPhone or iPad. ONE INBOX Every agent on your saved hosts, in one list. The ones waiting on you come first. READ THE CONVERSATION Conversations from omp, Claude Code and Codex show as a chat. Tool steps fold into one line; open it for detail. Edits show as diffs, line by line. Other agents, and transcripts that aren't available, open in the terminal. A line marks what's new since you last looked. ANSWER Tap an option on a supported question or permission prompt, or type a reply. The terminal is always there. USE THE TERMINAL Live output, a message box and keys for Esc, Tab, arrows, Enter and Ctrl-C. Typing mode is optional; it takes control and resizes the pane on your host. CONNECT YOUR MACHINES Use SSH with a key made on your device, or a password. Tailscale sign-in and a machine picker are built in; Tailscale SSH needs setup on your host and tailnet. Nothing to install for Herdwick on your host beyond herdr. KEEP YOUR PLACE While Herdwick reconnects, your last view stays on screen. Pick from seven terminal themes, set separately for light and dark. TRY THE DEMO Look around a scripted demo host before you connect your own. No Herdwick account needed. PRIVACY Your SSH private key stays in the device Keychain. Messages and attachments go to your host, not to a Herdwick server. No analytics. If you use Tailscale, its privacy policy applies. REQUIREMENTS iOS 26 or later, and a Mac or Linux host running herdr that you can reach. Your agents run on the host, not on your phone. Herdwick is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the herdr project or Tailscale Inc. Tailscale is a registered trademark of Tailscale Inc.
