# What it does *All text below is quoted directly from the project README.* >Native iOS agent console for herdr, watch and drive the coding agents on your machines over SSH, with a real libghostty terminal, QR pairing, and push notifications when an agent needs you **Features:** * **Console**: every Agent on every machine in one status-sorted list (Blocked first), filterable by Host, updated live. * **Attach**: the Agent's real terminal rendered by libghostty: native scrollback, momentum touch scrolling that also drives full-screen TUIs, long-press selection, takeover of a stale terminal owner, and quietly collected web links to open later. * **Composer**: draft locally with the full iOS keyboard (autocorrect, IME, dictation), then Send once; the tools keyboard adds Agent control keys, Agent Skills, reusable Snippets, and terminal appearance. * **Terminal**: open a plain shell in the Agent's directory, with Text and Keys modes and one reused tab per Workspace. * **Attachments**: stage a photo or a file up to 64 MiB onto the Host over SFTP and insert its path into the draft. * **QR pairing**: scan a Pairing Code to add a machine; keys are generated on device, private keys stay in the Keychain, and the code pins the host key fingerprint. * **Worktrees**: start an Agent on a clean checkout of the workspace's repo. * **Jump Host**: reach unroutable machines through an SSH jump, with keys verified at both hops. >Install Heeler from the App Store or TestFlight. # Repository [https://github.com/ZingerLittleBee/Heeler](https://github.com/ZingerLittleBee/Heeler) # Repository stats |Metric|Value| |:-|:-| |Stars|752| |Forks|77| |Last release|v0.1.17 (2026-11-03)| |Languages|Swift 71.6%, HTML 17.6%, JavaScript 4.1%| |Contributors|29| |AI contributor accounts (Claude / Codex / Cursor / Copilot)|none| |AI co-authored commits|none| # Main contributor |Field|Value| |:-|:-| |Name|ZingerBee| |GitHub|[@ZingerLittleBee](https://github.com/ZingerLittleBee)| |Commits to this repo|3,225 (top contributor)| |Bio|Indie developer building apps and dev tools across web, desktop, and mobile.| |X / Twitter|@zingerbee| |Followers|84| |Public repos|52| |On GitHub since|2017| ────────────────────────────── 📌 If you want to browse more repos like this, we've organized them by category and rankings here: [https://bestgithubrepositories.com/](https://bestgithubrepositories.com/) 🗂️ We're also archiving repos where possible, so useful projects don't disappear when they're removed from GitHub.
