Herdr launches official mobile app: manage Claude Code on the go, assign tasks by voice, and ask follow-up questions with screenshots

Beating AI News Flash: Herdr is a tool specifically designed to manage AI coding assistants, which can be understood as tmux for Agents. Claude Code and Codex are responsible for writing code and executing tasks, while Herdr is responsible for managing them in a centralized way. Developers can run multiple Agents simultaneously, view each one's work progress, and have them assign tasks to each other. Even if the terminal window is closed, background tasks can continue to execute.

On November 10, Herdr announced the launch of its official mobile app, supporting iPhone, iPad, and Android. After developers leave their computers, they can also remotely view and operate these running Agents.

For example, if you ask Codex to modify code on your computer and discover after going out that it is stuck at a permission confirmation, you can handle it simply by opening your phone. The app centrally lists Agents on different computers, categorized by status such as needing manual intervention, completed, and working. By tapping on a task, you can enter the real terminal where it is running, view the output, enter instructions, and continue advancing the work.

The mobile app also supports pasting screenshots, uploading photos, and directly issuing requests to Agents via voice. Speech recognition can use models downloaded locally to the phone, or you can choose Apple's or Google's speech recognition services.

Herdr just launched the independent herdr-core runtime and a new desktop client at the end of October. The mobile version connects to herdr-core on the computer via SSH and directly operates the original terminal, with no need for a Herdr account and without passing through official relay servers. Remote connections usually require Tailscale or another VPN.

The app is now available on the App Store and Google Play and is free to use, but it is only compatible with the new version of herdr-core and does not yet support the old Herdr TUI.
