Shepherdr - herdr ssh client

Shepherdr is an iPhone and iPad client for herdr, the terminal workspace manager for AI coding agents. Keep an eye on your agents and step in when they need you, from anywhere, over SSH.

Shepherdr is an independent client and is not affiliated with or endorsed by herdr.dev.

SEE WHAT YOUR AGENTS ARE DOING

• Live tree of herdr workspaces, tabs and panes
• Agent status at a glance: working, blocked or idle
• Updates arrive as they happen, no manual refresh
• Works on iPhone and iPad

OBSERVE OR TAKE CONTROL

• Open any pane as a read-only terminal to watch safely
• Take control when an agent is blocked and needs an answer, then release it again
• Extra keys row for touch keyboards: Esc, Tab, sticky Ctrl and Alt, and more
• Pinch to zoom, or use A+ and A- to change the font size
• If herdr is not available on a server, open a plain SSH shell instead

MULTIPLE SERVERS

• Free for one server; a one-time in-app purchase gives you unlimited servers (no subscription)
• Add servers by IP address or DNS name, including machines on your local network
• Sign in with a password or an SSH key
• Generate Ed25519 keys in the app, or import OpenSSH/PEM keys (ed25519, RSA, ECDSA), including passphrase-protected keys
• Copy a public key to paste into authorized_keys

SECURE BY DESIGN

• Host-key verification: you confirm a server's fingerprint on first connect and are warned if it changes
• Passwords, private keys and passphrases are kept in the iOS Keychain, and passwords and passphrases are saved only if you choose
• Optional Face ID, Touch ID or passcode app lock, with the app-switcher preview hidden while it is on
• No accounts, no ads, no analytics. The app only connects to the servers you add

REQUIREMENTS

• An SSH server you can reach from your iPhone or iPad, running herdr 0.9.1 or newer
• herdr is installed and managed by you on your own machines; see https://herdr.dev

Shepherdr is built for developers and system administrators who run AI coding agents on remote machines and want to check in, unblock and steer them without a laptop.
