Was looking for something like this but stumbled upon herdr-web-ui [0] first. They seem to do the same thing, but herdr-web-ui is completely free and self hosted and sets up as a PWA with webpush support. Seems to work decently well and it’s under heavy development. Will have to try this too!
Don’t miss the nap trap days but glad you found a useful way to be productive. I ran into a similar issue and built something free & open source. Not on the App Store yet but you can try it https://testflight.apple.com/join/AkJxAbnJ. It works on iOS & iPadOS and the main difference is it’s always the herdr interface, because I always kind of liked it. I’ve been using it a while (similar tailscale set up) and it works well but needs a little polish. Hope you all enjoy it
Having access to herdr on phone and iPad is the best gap I've ever found. That way people can do things while they're at the train station. I also do something similar for huge things.
So one thing: how can you know if an agent is thinking and not blocked?
in the app ui it colors the agent icon yellow for "working". green for done, red for blocked, otherwise default grey for idle. You can also filter the tab list by agent state too, if you only want to see your done and/or blocked agents for example
Nice! I did something like this running tailscale to my laptop with a TUI and it worked well for awhile. And then I realized I didn't want to be notified when my agents weren't working because I'd had enough.
Thank you <3 These days, it's mostly for walks or errands or random a-ha moments. The nice part about trusting the notifications & the pipeline is that I don't have to babysit my agents at all & can just focus on the baby~
right after connecting to my workstation it says: “herdr is not installed on this host” while it clearly is. Running it in shell directly works, but it’s impossible to scroll inside herdr session like that. What exactly should I pay 99 for?
Are you running fish shell? If so, this was fixed and waiting on AppStore approval to release it.
Let me remind you that this is/was my ironclad setup. It should work for others, but may not due to preferential or not-my-machine technical reasons. The latter is solved by bug reports. Either way, there's a free trial and you pay nothing & shouldn't unless you like it.
very interesting. seems like lots of people trying to turn the agent chat push into a feed pull. basically have the agents reach out to you instead of you to them. interesting take on the problem
Neat. Thought about syncing the key with iCloud Keychain towards supporting any of the user’s devices connecting? Optionally; I understand the appeal of the current storage method.
Thanks! Perhaps we have different trust levels, but I prefer to have an ssh key per service/identity/device so that I can revoke specific items as needed. Plus, getting the key onto the host device is automated once you have the sibling daemon (brew install lukeed/tap/pocketty) running. It just takes a device-pairing code, much like adding a new Apple device to your iCloud acct
Zero, as far as I can tell. Maybe there will be a few by the end of the 14d window. Developers are a stubborn/interesting target group -- I bet there will be more built-it-myself variants than purchases.

If you are in the Herdr ecosystem and the iOS ecosystem I highly recommend Heeler: https://github.com/ZingerLittleBee/Heeler

It's free/open-source and I've been using it for a few weeks now and it's replaced Blink Shell for me on my phone.

Enjoy your nap traps! They don't last very long.

That said, if this is a requirement I can definitely look into adding it... optionally, as you said :)
Thanks. Just something to consider! You’re right that it wouldn’t be a big deal to add two or three devices individually.
Does it also help alleviate wealth inequality?
Hey, i worked on something exactly if not very similar to this.
Actually happy to see more people doing this.
If I answer on the desktop, does the "blocked" notification disappear from the phone too?
Of the trials started so far, how many have bought at $99?
Zero, as far as I can tell. Maybe there will be a few by the end of the 14d window. Developers are a stubborn/interesting target group -- I bet there will be more built-it-myself variants than purchases.
