Opus 4.7
ai-assisted
Yes
- Native iOS/iPadOS (and Android) terminal for driving AI coding agents on a remote machine. Recommended by Herdr as its mobile companion.
- Direct SSH / Mosh / ET into your own Mac, Linux, WSL, or VPS — no relay servers, no cloud account.
- Positions itself as “the phone-first terminal built for driving Claude Code.”
# Highlights
- Mosh protocol keeps sessions alive across network switches, sleep, and app kills.
- Multiplexer-aware: first-class pickers, gestures, and deep integration for tmux, Zellij, and Herdr.
- Agent-first UX: structured approval inbox, diff viewer in terminal header, webhook alerts, voice-to-terminal (Parakeet, Whisper, Apple on-device).
- iOS-native affordances: Live Activities, Dynamic Island, Apple Watch controls, Face ID for SSH keys, image paste for screenshot prompts, in-app browser preview for local dev servers.
- Hardware keyboard shortcuts on iPad (⌘K nav, ⌘O, ⌘1–9), OSC 52 remote clipboard, CJK input.
- Tailscale one-tap for reaching machines across a tailnet.
- Free to start, no account, no trial timer. Paid tier for extras.
- 4.8★ over 750+ App Store reviews.
# Herdr Integration
- Herdr owns the terminal sessions on the remote host so agents survive reboot and detach; Moshi is the mobile front-end that attaches to those sessions with Mosh resilience, Live Activities, and the agent approval flow.
- Together: laptop closes, phone opens, same running Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / opencode / Grok session, no reconnect ceremony.
