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 β 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 β’ See every agent and its status at a glance β waiting for you, working, done β’ Read the session as a chat, with Markdown, syntax-highlighted code and diffs β’ Answer an agent's permission prompt by tapping a button instead of typing into a raw terminal pane β’ Send follow-up instructions, cycle the agent's mode, or dictate by voice β’ Talk to an agent hands-free with the experimental voice assistant β launch it, send it a message, or answer its question, and hear back what's happening β’ Attach a photo from your camera or library for the agent to look at β’ Get a notification the moment an agent is blocked and needs you β’ 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 β 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.

Keep track of your AI limits before they interrupt your flow. AI Usage brings your connected AI accounts into one dashboard, so you can see your remaining allowance, check upcoming resets, and plan your next session. Connect Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Grok, and Gemini CLI to keep your usage in view. β’ Your usage at a glance: See usage, remaining allowance, and available limits for each connected provider. β’ Reset countdowns: Check when your allowance is expected to refresh. β’ Home Screen widgets: Follow all your connected providers together, or focus on one. β’ Usage history and forecasts: Explore readings saved on your device and estimate how long your allowance may last based on recent activity. β’ Optional reminders: Choose alerts at 75%, 90%, or 95% usage, plus reminders for expected resets. Your usage history stays on your device, and sign-in credentials are stored securely. Disconnecting a provider removes its saved session, history, and reminders from the app. Whether youβre coding, researching, or creating, AI Usage helps you decide when to keep going, switch tools, or take a break. Requires an account with a supported provider. Available usage details vary by provider and plan. Gemini support tracks Gemini CLI allowance. Refresh timing depends on provider availability and your device; forecasts and reset times are estimates. AI Usage is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the supported providers.
