Move from servers to workspaces, tabs, panes, and agents without squeezing a desktop layout onto a phone.
Shepherd SSH · iOS launch in preparation
Your whole herd.
In your pocket.
Herdr keeps your coding agents alive on the machine where the work lives. Shepherd SSH gives that persistent session a fast, touch-friendly control surface—direct over SSH.
- Direct SSH
- No Herdr account
- No hosted control plane
- No telemetry

01
Herdr runs where your code is
Mac mini, Linux box, cloud VM, or home lab.
02
Your phone becomes the remote
Browse state, send prompts, and control real panes.
# built for the small screen
Everything important.
Nothing rebuilt as a chat toy.
Shepherd SSH follows Herdr's real server → workspace → tab → pane hierarchy, so the view in your hand matches the session that is still running on your server.
free live tracking
Know when the herd needs you
Follow working, waiting, and completed agents from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. Live Activities are included in the free app, so progress stays visible without reopening a terminal.
real terminal
Touch controls for a real pane
Use the terminal directly with Escape, Ctrl+C, Tab, arrows, and a shortcut bar above the keyboard.

direct connection
No extra gateway to operate
The app connects to the SSH address you choose, verifies the host key, and invokes the official Herdr CLI.

profiles
Keep every setup one tap away
Save the host, port, user, session, and executable path for each environment. Passwords, keys, and passphrases stay in the iOS Keychain.
secure by default
Connect deliberately. Monitor your way.
Verify the server before saving it, keep credentials in Keychain, and choose the alerts, Live Tracking behavior, input mode, and terminal shortcuts that fit your workflow.
# one app, many setups
Wherever the herd lives.
Use an ordinary SSH address or a private-network address such as Tailscale. Shepherd SSH does not require a public dashboard.
Home lab
Check a persistent Herdr session on a Linux server from the couch.
Mac mini
Leave long-running agents on the always-on machine and reattach later.
Cloud VM
Reach a remote development box without adding a Herdr-specific service.
Private network
Connect through your existing VPN or Tailscale address when you are away.
# start free, keep it simple
One server is free.
Pro is a one-time upgrade.
The free app includes one saved server, iCloud sync, Live Activities, and the full default terminal shortcut bar. Shepherd Pro adds unlimited saved servers, photo attachments, and an editable shortcut layout—without a subscription.
Shepherd Pro
- ✓Unlimited server profiles
- ✓Editable terminal shortcuts
- ✓Photo attachments
- ✓Lifetime entitlement
Final localized price is shown by the App Store.
# privacy by architecture
Your servers are not our servers.
Shepherd SSH has no developer-operated account system, analytics pipeline, advertising SDK, or hosted control plane. Server profiles remain on your device unless you explicitly enable iCloud sync. SSH traffic goes directly to the server you configure.
