AI Overview
- Developer releases Kelpie, a free Apache 2.0 fork of the Heeler iOS client, bringing herdr's terminal UI to iPad and iPhone over SSH via public TestFlight beta.
- Kelpie adds touch and Magic Keyboard input: Escape/Cmd+. support, trackpad right-click menus, drag-to-resize panes, photo pasting into Claude panes, and mobile layout below 64 columns.
- SSH keys generate on-device and stay in Keychain, host keys pin on first use, and the push notification relay only transmits ciphertext.
- Kelpie pairs once via iCloud Keychain and sends push notifications when an agent awaits input; Heeler's SSH, pairing, and relay code remains the underlying engine.

Pocketty – iPhone/iPad SSH terminal that pings you when an AI agent needs you
Pocketty is an SSH terminal app for iPhone and iPad paired with a companion tool, herdr, that tracks the state of agent panes running on your computer. LLM coding agents are monitored for working, needs-you, or done states, and the app pings you when an agent is blocked. It lets developers step away from their desk while still supervising agents.

SSHaven — native iOS SSH client with an agent status board over tmux sessions
SSHaven is a native iPhone/iPad SSH client that overlays a status board on tmux sessions running coding agents. It identifies Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Aider, and OpenCode and labels each as Running, Needs you, or Finished, with optional push notifications when input is needed. It solves the problem of repeatedly attaching and scrolling in a terminal to check whether an agent is still working or stuck on a permission prompt.
