SSHHIP vs Heeler for herdr

SSHHIP is a focused iPhone and iPad terminal client for developers who keep real work running on their own machines. Add your Mac mini, workstation, or homelab host, connect with Automatic or direct SSH, and jump back into the tmux or herdr session you already use. SSHHIP is built for the small moments when you need to check a build, guide a coding agent, restart a process, or send one careful command while away from your desk. SSHHIP keeps the workflow familiar: - Save hosts you own or administer. - Connect directly, without a SSHHIP account or hosted relay. - Choose Automatic, direct SSH, or Mosh per host; Automatic uses Mosh when available and falls back to SSH. - Use Automatic authentication for Tailscale SSH or other hosts that accept keyless SSH, import an unencrypted or passphrase-encrypted OpenSSH Ed25519 or ECDSA private key, or generate a non-exportable Secure Enclave P-256 key. - Attach to existing tmux or herdr sessions with one tap. - Use the CommandDial for saved command snippets, common keys, sticky arrow D-pad navigation, directional pane focus in tmux or herdr, paste, selection, voice, keyboard control, and contextual multiplexer actions, with a resting-puck tap fallback to an organized full command menu where frequently used commands can be pinned. - Send a clipboard image or selected photos to your connected host over SFTP and insert their remote paths. - Optionally sync saved-host metadata across your Apple devices through your private iCloud database. - Keep imported credentials in the iOS Keychain and hardware-backed keys in the Secure Enclave. - Use a polished dark interface designed for terminal work. SSHHIP is local-first by design. There is no SSHHIP backend, no cloud vault, no analytics SDK, no advertising, and no tracking. Command snippets and command-menu pins stay on your device. Your host list also stays on your device unless you turn on saved-host iCloud sync. When enabled, saved-host metadata syncs through your private iCloud database; passwords, imported private keys, passphrases, and Secure Enclave key references still stay out of CloudKit. Automatic hosts can connect without a saved password when the SSH server allows it. Passwords and imported private keys that you save stay in Keychain. Secure Enclave private keys are non-exportable and never leave the hardware. Terminal traffic goes between your iOS device and the hosts you configure over SSH. When you choose Send Image, each selected image goes directly from your iOS device to that connected host over SFTP, and SSHHIP inserts the remote path into your terminal input line. SSHHIP is a one-time purchase. Every feature is free for one month, then you can buy the lifetime unlock once to keep using SSH, multiplexer shortcuts, themes, saved hosts, and client-side features. SSHHIP is narrow on purpose: a calm, native way to get back to your own terminal.

Heeler is a native iOS companion for herdr, an agent-first terminal runtime. See every coding agent running on your machines in one priority-sorted console. Open an Agent to read and steer its live terminal, draft prompts locally with the standard iOS keyboard, and send complete messages when you are ready. FEATURES • Unified Agent Console across multiple Hosts • Live terminal rendering with native scrollback and touch scrolling • Native Composer with autocorrect, IME, dictation, and attachment staging • Direct Agent controls for Esc, Tab, arrows, Enter, and more • QR pairing with an on-device Ed25519 key • End-to-end encrypted notifications when an Agent is Blocked or Done • Worktree-based Agent launches • SSH Jump Host support • Independent light and dark terminal themes PRIVACY Heeler has no analytics or account system. SSH credentials stay in the iOS Keychain. Live terminal output and prompts travel directly between your device and your own Host over SSH. Notification content is encrypted on your Host before passing through the push relay. REQUIREMENTS Heeler requires access to a machine running herdr 0.7.5 or later with OpenSSH Remote Login enabled. Install the included herdr plugin to scan a Pairing Code and enable Agent Notifications. Heeler is an independent project and is not affiliated with the herdr project.
