About herdrup: agents in your pocket
Herdrup is the phone client for herdr, the open-source tool that runs your AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, and around 18 more) in terminal sessions on your own machine. Those agents work for hours, then stop to ask: may I run this? which option? overwrite this file? Herdrup lets you answer, from your phone. It's a calm status board. When nothing needs you, the screen is quiet and you close it again. When an agent is waiting, it turns urgent, and you're one tap from the real terminal. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every agent at a glance, grouped by what needs you, what's working, and what's idle • Jump into the live terminal: scroll the history, send keys, approve or reject the question it's blocked on • Get a push the moment an agent needs you, dies, or finishes. Nothing else • Message your agents with Gram: send a note, a file, or a short-lived API key, and delete it when you're done • Start a new agent: pick a folder, an agent, and a task HOW IT WORKS You run herdr on your own computer and it manages the agents in panes. Herdrup connects to it over SSH on your own network. No cloud in the middle, nothing public. Herdr is open source (github.com/jerryfane/herdr). Bring your own agents.
What’s new
Version 1.2.0 · Updated October 28, 2026
Chat • A new conversation view: copy and select text, search, and diagrams (Mermaid and SVG) drawn right in the reply, with coloured headings and code. • See subagents at work, the model's effort level and a compact to-do list. • Thoughts are shown dimmer, so replies stand out. • Long chats stay fast while you type. • Files upload as soon as you add them, and open from the attachments list without downloading again. Agents • Give each agent a mascot or your own photo, shared across your devices and with guests. • Group agents into folders and star your favourites. • A "needs you" pill keeps waiting agents in view while you scroll. iPad and Mac • Drag the edge to resize the Chat and Gram column; Gram messages use the extra width. Also: shared agents keep working after a rename, and a crash when an SSH channel closed is fixed. Avatars and folders need an up-to-date herdr server.
