Features
Read full description

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 โ€ข Unified Agent Console across multiple Hosts โ€ข Live terminal rendering with native scrollback and touch scrolling โ€ข Native Composer with autocorrect, IME, dictation, and attachment staging โ€ข Direct Agent controls for Esc, Tab, arrows, Enter, and more โ€ข QR pairing with an on-device Ed25519 key โ€ข End-to-end encrypted notifications when an Agent is Blocked or Done โ€ข Worktree-based Agent launches โ€ข SSH Jump Host support โ€ข 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.
