New in version 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.
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 partiesThere 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.
Versions
Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
