Drover vs Mobaide

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.

Mobaide turns your phone into a remote control for AI coding agents and terminals running on your own computer — free, with no public IP required. Start, monitor, and steer Claude Code, Codex CLI, Antigravity CLI, or your own custom AI agents — each with its own launch command and parameters — on your Windows, macOS, or Linux machine from anywhere, with full real-time terminal streaming. Step away from your desk without losing control of your work. HOW IT WORKS Install a small agent on your computer and pair it by scanning a QR code in the app. That's it. Your phone connects through a secure relay and the agent reaches out — so you never have to expose your machine to the internet. WHY MOBAIDE • Free. No subscription, no paywalled features. • No public or static IP, port forwarding, or VPN. Unlike SSH apps, your computer dials out to the relay, so it works behind any router, NAT, or firewall — on mobile data or any Wi-Fi. • Effortless setup. One-line install on the computer, then scan a QR to pair. No tokens to copy and no commands to type on your phone. • Built for AI agents, not just shells. First-class Claude Code, Codex CLI, Antigravity CLI support, custom agent types you define yourself, plus raw terminal (cmd.exe / bash) sessions. FEATURES • Custom AI agents — define your own agent types with a custom launch command and parameters, then start and manage them right alongside Claude Code and Codex. • Remote terminal — full two-way, real-time session I/O. • Multi-session, isolated worktrees — run and switch between up to 32 sessions at once, each launched in its own dedicated Git worktree so parallel work never collides. • Terminal sessions — open a raw cmd.exe (Windows) or bash (macOS/Linux) shell in any project folder. • Custom path — launch in any folder, with quick-pick recent paths. • Custom shortcuts — a convenient editor for building your own quick-tap command shortcuts per session type, synced across devices. • Auto Scan — automatically pick up issues from your tracker (Linear today), create a git worktree, and launch Claude to work on them. • Git management — browse branches and worktrees, multi-select, batch-delete with undo. • Prompt templates — save and reuse your favorite prompts; they sync across devices. • Reliable reconnect — 10,000-line scrollback per session, so a dropped network never loses output. • Secure — end-to-end auth over encrypted WebSockets (WSS). • Manage devices — see every paired install and revoke access anytime. REQUIREMENTS • A Windows, macOS, or Linux computer to run the free Mobaide agent.
