The agents run in herdr on your server. Mochi shows what each one is doing and takes you to it when it needs you.\n\nCONTROL YOUR AGENTS WITH HERDR\n• Live Activity on the lock screen: which agents are working and which are waiting for you\n• A notification when an agent is blocked or done, even when Mochi is closed\n• Tap it to open that agent's pane and answer from the chat input\n• Swipe to switch herdr tabs\n\nA REAL TERMINAL UNDERNEATH\n\nMochi is a fast, beautiful SSH client built on the Ghostty terminal engine — a real terminal emulator in your pocket, not a toy.\n\nSSH INTO ANY SERVER\nSave your connections and jump into any of them in a tap. Password and key auth, custom ports, works great over Tailscale.\n\nFIRE COMMANDS IN ONE TAP\nBuild your own shortcut groups: tmux prefixes, Ctrl combos, slash commands, whole snippets with Enter. The keyboard toolbar puts esc, tab, ctrl and ⌘ right above the keys — no more fighting the mobile keyboard.\n\nMAKE IT YOURS\n500+ built-in terminal themes with search and light/dark filters. Real monospace fonts (JetBrains Mono and more), adjustable size, pinch to zoom in session.\n\nLOCK KEYS BEHIND FACE ID\nPrivate keys live in the iOS Keychain. Flip one switch and every use of a key requires Face ID.\n\nBUILT FOR ENGINEERS\n• Ghostty-powered terminal emulation — fast, correct, modern\n• Multiple simultaneous sessions\n• Native iOS design that feels at home on iOS 26\n• No accounts, no tracking — your servers are your business\n\nSHEPHERD PRO\nAn optional auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly): Agent view on tmux, Rex and herdr-core, and Files. Payment is charged to your Apple ID and renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period.\nTerms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/\nPrivacy Policy: https://shepherd.freethinkel.dev/phone/#privacy","facts":{"developer_id":1461779773,"developer_url":null,"first_released":"2026-07-22T07:00:00Z","support_url":"https://github.com/freethinkel","privacy_url":"https://shepherd.freethinkel.dev/phone/#privacy","website_url":null,"app_version":"1.8.1","release_notes":"Agent view: tabs and panes now come from tmux, Rex and herdr-core too — pick the Backend in a connection.\n— Shepherd Pro: Agent view on tmux, Rex and herdr-core, and Files, are now part of Pro. 7 days free on the yearly plan. herdr and the terminal stay free.\n— The keyboard toolbar is yours to arrange, with glass keys and a steadier joystick.\n— Hold a herdr tab for its menu.\n— The app icon counts the agents waiting for you.\n— Jump host: reach a server through another saved connection, like ssh -J.\n— herdr: pick a named session in the connection.\n— Agent view: a fullscreen Claude Code pane scrolls, a pane's history no longer loses or repeats lines, and scrolling stays where you left it.","rating_current_version":5,"rating_count_current_version":3,"star_counts":[0,0,0,0,3],"genres":["Developer Tools","Utilities"],"languages":["EN"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":["iphone","ipad"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-12T20:25:13.919Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-11-13T21:55:13.613Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-11-12T21:15:12.929Z","placed_at":"2026-11-12T21:00:13.370Z","scored_at":"2026-11-14T06:53:12.734Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Shows and controls AI coding agents running in herdr on your server from iPhone, with a full SSH terminal client.","what_is":"The listing is titled Shepherd: AI Agents & SSH but refers to the app as Mochi.
