Get Drover for MacYour agents.
Within reach.
Native iPhone control for the work running on your machine.
Built for iPhone. Your Mac or Linux stays home.
One Inbox.
Ranked by what needs you.
What needs you comes first.
A request that is waiting on you rises to the top, with its host, workspace, and pane named. Open takes you straight to the live pane.
A question keeps its context.
When an agent stops to ask, the card carries the question as the agent wrote it. Read it where you are, then step into the pane to answer.
Everything else keeps moving.
Running work stays below, quiet until it changes. Filter by host when one machine is the one you care about.
Same work.
Smaller distance.
A native iPhone control surface for coding agents. Enough context to stay with the work. Enough room to leave your desk.
Pick up the thread.
Your real terminal, with the context intact. Read the output, bring up the keyboard, and send the next input from your iPhone.
A glance when that's enough.
The terminal when it isn't.
Most of the time you only need to know whether anything needs you. Drover answers at the smallest size that works, and the full session is one tap further.
On your wrist.
Apple Watch shows usage at a glance. It displays; it never sends input to a pane.
Complications Coming soon
What is left and when it resets, on the watch face.
Smart Stack Coming soon
The login closest to its limit comes first.
Watch app Planned
Every login and its limits. Display only.
On your Lock Screen.
A notification tells you an agent is waiting and nothing more: no commands, no approvals from the Lock Screen.
- Lock Screen widgets Coming soon
- Usage as last read, beside the clock.
- Notifications and Live Activity Available

In your menu bar. Available
Drover for Mac keeps this Mac's logins, its paired iPhone, and the health of droverd one click away. Pairing is a QR code from the menu. No terminal needed.
Move the conversation.
Keep the thread.
Hit a limit on one engine? Reopen the same conversation in another harness today. Moving it to another host you own is not in the launch build.
Switch harness Available
Reopen a Codex conversation in Claude, or the other way, with its history.
Move to host Coming soon
Pick a verified host. See exactly what travels before you confirm.
Watch it land Coming soon
Each step reports as it completes. The source stays read-only until the move finishes.
Your machines.
One familiar place.
A Mac at your desk. A Linux host elsewhere. Find the right machine, see its connection state, and step into the work.
- Recognizable
- Your verified hostname stays visible.
- Connected
- Sessions and workspaces stay with their host.
- Honest
- A disconnected host keeps live actions off.
A little context.
A lot of clarity.
Keep account usage close to the work. A quick look at what remains, when limits reset, and which hosts share an account.
Herdr stays in charge.
Your code, agents, and terminals stay on your Mac or Linux machine. Herdr owns the runtime. Drover brings its structure to your iPhone.
Explore how Drover worksYour iPhone reaches droverd directly on your LAN, or through a relay that forwards ciphertext only. droverd is a client of your own Herdr server, which owns everything below.

droverd connects your iPhone to your own Herdr server.
Set up the machine
that does the work.
The host companion, droverd, runs beside Herdr on your Mac or Linux machine and connects it to your iPhone.
droverd for Linux
Runs as your user under systemd --user. One command installs it.
curl -fsSL https:/Close to the work.
Clear on the boundaries.
- Your machine is the source of truth.
- No cloud workspace to rebuild. A small host companion connects to the setup you already own.
- The next move is yours.
- Read the context. Choose the input. Nothing is inferred from terminal text, and nothing auto-approves.
- Disconnected means disconnected.
- No offline input queue. No silent retries. Reconnect before sending the next action.
- Private from end to end.
- Connect directly when possible. When a relay is needed, terminal content remains encrypted. Read the security model
