About Sherpr

Sherpr is the mobile companion for Herdr , the terminal agent multiplexer. Herdr runs each coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, …) in its own real terminal and shows at a glance who is blocked , working , done , or idle . Sherpr brings that glance — and the ability to unblock, steer, and monitor agents — to your pocket.

What it does

Connect securely to a Herdr instance on your workstation, homelab box, or VPS — over SSH, with pinned host keys and on-device Ed25519 keys.

Fleet dashboard — a live overview of every workspace, tab, and pane with Herdr's semantic status colors, sorted so what needs you floats to the top.

Notifications when an agent becomes blocked or done — generated on-device from the live SSH event stream, with no push provider or companion app. An opt-in foreground service can keep the session alive in the background.

Multiple hosts — connect several Herdr instances at once; focus one while the others keep running, with a combined "needs you" queue across every host.

Full terminal on tap — tapping a pane (or a notification) opens a real interactive terminal: live colored output, scrollback, a modifier/arrow/function-key bar tuned for TUIs, and two-tap approve/deny for blocked agents.

Orchestrate — create workspaces (name + folder) and start new sessions; focus and rename panes; answer prompts and send text or key combos.

Voice dictation (optional) — on-device Whisper (whisper.cpp compiled from source) or your own self-hosted Whisper server. Dictated text is inserted for review, never auto-sent. Models are downloaded on first use from a pinned URL with SHA-256 verification, never bundled.

No cloud, no third parties

There is no Sherpr service. The app talks directly to your Herdr over your SSH transport; your agents, output, and keys never touch a third party. No ads, no tracking, no Google Play Services.

Dark-first "black glass + neon" UI with three palettes: Black Glass, Catppuccin Mocha, and Tokyo Night. An optional biometric app lock gates the UI on launch and after a timeout.

What's new in 0.2.19

Packaging: the F-Droid build now lets AGP install the missing Android SDK components itself (platforms, build-tools, CMake), removing the manual sdkmanager step from the recipe. Sherpr's own release CI still builds fully hermetically from its pinned image. Docs: corrected a stale build note about a second NDK (one r28c toolchain builds everything) and pointed the Herdr links at the renamed herdrdev/herdr repository. No app code changes.
