Herdie vs AgentPanes

Herdie brings your Herdr sessions to iPhone and iPad. Connect directly to your Mac or Linux host over SSH, check what your agents are doing, and send the next command. Your remote session keeps running when you leave the app. A terminal built for your phone Read terminal output behind floating controls, open the keyboard when you need it, or use the writing sheet for longer messages. Switch between running agents without leaving your session. Your hosts, one place Save SSH connections and reconnect with a tap. Use password authentication, an OpenSSH private key, or SSH none authentication for compatible hosts such as Tailscale SSH. Herdie asks you to verify new host keys and flags changes. Direct connections Terminal traffic travels directly between your device and your host. Passwords and private keys are stored in iOS Keychain. There is no Herdie account, terminal relay, or analytics SDK. Make it yours Choose a terminal theme and font size, customize the keyboard shortcuts, and use light or dark appearance. Herdie is free and open source. It requires a reachable SSH host with Herdr installed. It does not include a hosted computer or an AI subscription.

Your agents keep working when you step away. AgentPanes brings their terminals within reach. Connect to your own computers over SSH and find agents running in Herdr and tmux. Open a specific agent, switch between agents from the terminal, or start a normal SSH connection when you need a shell. FIND YOUR WORK - View supported agents across the machines you choose. - Sort by observed activity, pin important agents, and see output changes since your last visit. New output is not a claim that a task has finished. - Switch agents without returning to the main list. A TERMINAL BUILT FOR YOUR PHONE - Use terminal keyboard controls, text selection and supported links. - Scroll terminal output and adjust text size. - Keep separate saved zoom settings for tmux and Herdr/normal SSH. YOUR MACHINES, YOUR CONNECTION - Connect directly over SSH; no AgentPanes account or server-side AgentPanes installation is required. - Authenticate with a password or an imported OpenSSH Ed25519 private key. - Review the host fingerprint and per-machine Herdr/tmux permissions. - Use reachable IP addresses or hostnames. Tailscale hosts require a working Tailscale connection; host-led Tailscale SSH approval is supported. - Protect access with the app lock and device authentication. OPTIONAL NOTIFICATIONS AND DICTATION - Enable reply notifications per machine. This installs a helper on that machine and sends notification data through the AgentPanes relay, Firebase and Apple. Standard SSH connections do not require the notification service. - Dictate editable English text on supported devices using on-device recognition. Audio is not saved or uploaded by AgentPanes. AgentPanes is free to download. You supply your own SSH-accessible machines, agents and any third-party service accounts. Herdr or tmux must already be installed on the machines where you want to discover their sessions. Questions or a bug to report? Find Help & support in the app or email support@agentpanes.com.
