Heeler is a native iPhone and iPad companion for herdr, an agent-first terminal runtime. Follow your coding agents in Herdr TUI, the Herdr desktop app or herdr-core, on your own machines over SSH. See every Agent on every Host in one console, sorted by who needs you first. Open an Agent to steer its live terminal, or read its conversation as Chat and reply from the Composer. FEATURES • One Agent Console across all your Hosts, updated live • Herdr desktop app and herdr-core on macOS, Linux and Windows, following the desktop app's spaces and tabs • Live terminal rendered by libghostty, with native scrollback and touch scrolling • Chat for Claude Code, Codex, Pi, Oh My Pi, Grok Build and OpenCode, with buttons for Blocked prompts • Composer with the full iOS keyboard, Agent control keys and Agent Skills • Voice Input with your own OpenAI, DeepInfra, SiliconFlow or compatible speech service • Changes: every uncommitted file in the Agent's checkout • Shell Terminals for every Workspace • Photos and files staged onto the Host, with their paths in your draft • New Agent with Worktrees, Accounts and Launch Presets • Usage: Claude Code and Codex Usage Limits and up to 30 days of Token Usage, with widgets • End-to-end encrypted notifications when an Agent is Blocked or Done, and a Live Activity that tracks your Agents • QR pairing with an on-device Ed25519 key • SSH Jump Hosts, several routes per Host, and Tailscale, ZeroTier or EasyTier built in • Separate light and dark terminal themes PRIVACY Heeler has no accounts, analytics or tracking. SSH keys stay in the iOS Keychain. Terminal output, prompts and conversations travel directly between your device and your own Host over SSH. Notification content is encrypted on your Host before it passes through the push relay. Voice Input sends recordings only to the speech service you choose, with your own API key. REQUIREMENTS A Mac or Linux machine running herdr 0.7.5 or later, a Windows machine running herdr 0.9.3 or later, or a machine running the Herdr desktop app or herdr-core, reachable over SSH. On a Mac or Linux machine running herdr, the included plugin shows a Pairing Code to scan and delivers Agent Notifications. On herdr-core, the optional Host Helper adds notifications, the Live Activity and Usage on macOS and Linux. Heeler is an independent project and is not affiliated with the herdr project.
