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 and nowhere else ā the developer of this app cannot see them. WHAT YOU CAN DO ⢠See every agent and its status at a glance ā 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 ⢠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 Speech recognition runs entirely on your device ā Drover will not fall back to a server. Notifications carry a fixed message and never any of your transcript. Your SSH 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 GitHub, and is not certified by any of them.

Corral is the iPhone and iPad app for herdr.
