Corral for herdr

Read full description

Corral is the iPhone and iPad app for herdr. It connects straight to your Mac or Linux server over SSH, on your Wi-Fi or anywhere with Tailscale, and shows every coding agent you run in herdr: what's working, what's finished and what needs you. AN INBOX FOR YOUR AGENTS • Every agent across your machines, sorted by what needs you first • Finished agents stay highlighted until you've looked at them • Search and fold your herdr workspaces ANSWER FROM ANYWHERE • Approve permission prompts and pick answers with one tap • Send prompts by typing or hold-to-talk dictation • Message several agents at once, or start a new one in any folder CLAUDE CODE, NATIVELY • Read chats as chat, not a cramped terminal, with full history kept on your phone • Select any line of a reply and add a comment; send all comments in one message • Attach photos and screenshots for the agent to look at • See tool calls and the changes an agent made A REAL TERMINAL WHEN YOU NEED IT • Full terminal with a keyboard bar, pinch to zoom and two-finger swipe between agents • Built for mobile networks: sessions recover after Wi-Fi to cellular switches and sleep AT A GLANCE • Home and lock screen widgets and Live Activities • Your Claude 5-hour and 7-day usage, with reset times PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no Corral server, no analytics. Corral talks only to the computers you add, and keeps its SSH key in the iOS Keychain. Try it first: tap "Try the demo first" for a pretend Mac with sample agents. Requires a Mac or Linux computer with SSH turned on. Agent features need herdr (herdr.dev). Corral is an independent app and is not affiliated with herdr or Anthropic.
