Shepherd vs Outpost

Mochi is the place to control your AI coding agents from your iPhone. The agents run in herdr on your server. Mochi shows what each one is doing and takes you to it when it needs you. CONTROL YOUR AGENTS WITH HERDR • Live Activity on the lock screen: which agents are working and which are waiting for you • A notification when an agent is blocked or done, even when Mochi is closed • Tap it to open that agent's pane and answer from the chat input • Swipe to switch herdr tabs A REAL TERMINAL UNDERNEATH Mochi is a fast, beautiful SSH client built on the Ghostty terminal engine — a real terminal emulator in your pocket, not a toy. SSH INTO ANY SERVER Save your connections and jump into any of them in a tap. Password and key auth, custom ports, works great over Tailscale. FIRE COMMANDS IN ONE TAP Build your own shortcut groups: tmux prefixes, Ctrl combos, slash commands, whole snippets with Enter. The keyboard toolbar puts esc, tab, ctrl and ⌘ right above the keys — no more fighting the mobile keyboard. MAKE IT YOURS 500+ built-in terminal themes with search and light/dark filters. Real monospace fonts (JetBrains Mono and more), adjustable size, pinch to zoom in session. LOCK KEYS BEHIND FACE ID Private keys live in the iOS Keychain. Flip one switch and every use of a key requires Face ID. BUILT FOR ENGINEERS • Ghostty-powered terminal emulation — fast, correct, modern • Multiple simultaneous sessions • Native iOS design that feels at home on iOS 26 • No accounts, no tracking — your servers are your business

Outpost is an SSH client built for one thing above all: rendering your terminal exactly right. If you've connected to a server from your phone and watched your setup fall apart - broken Powerline segments, missing Nerd Font icons, boxes where emoji should be, mangled box-drawing - Outpost is the fix. It's engineered around glyph correctness, so your shell looks the way it does on your desktop. Glyph-perfect rendering. Nerd Font icons, Powerline prompts, box-drawing, wide and ambiguous-width characters, combining marks, and emoji - all correct. Secure by design. Passwords and imported keys are stored in the iOS Keychain behind Face ID. Or generate a key that never leaves the device's Secure Enclave. Host keys are pinned on first connect, with a hard warning if one ever changes. Built for real work. Keep several servers open at once and switch with a tap - scrollback survives. A keyboard bar with the keys a terminal actually needs. Copy and paste, drag to scroll, and tap-to-click in mouse-aware TUIs. Run your own setup commands automatically on connect. Make it yours. Font size, colour themes, and cursor style. No account, no tracking, nothing to sign up for. Your credentials stay on your device.
