DEDUPEDRemote script. The Linux and macOS install command pipes a script from Ovis.sh straight into sh, so read it first if you do not trust that host.
Who it is forA developer who starts long Claude Code or Codex sessions at a desk and needs to respond to them while away from it.
The problemAn agent stops and waits for approval or an answer, and you are not near the computer running herdr.
The outcomeYou see the same agent session on your phone as a chat, tap to answer its approvals and questions, and open the live terminal when needed.
What you need first
- A computer with herdr 0.9.0 or newer, Bun 1.4 or newer and Node 18 or newer (Node is not needed on Windows)
- Git, curl and tar on Linux or macOS, or Git for Windows on Windows x64
- A herdr pane running Claude Code, Codex or another supported agent
- Optional: Tailscale on the computer and your phone for access away from your desk
Steps
- Install the app on the computer with
curl -fsSL https://ovis.sh/install.sh | sh(Linux or macOS) orirm https://ovis.sh/install.ps1 | iexin PowerShell (Windows). - With herdr running, open the address the installer prints, normally [127.0.0.1:7317](http://127.0.0.1:7317).
- Open Phone setup in herdr or use the installer's QR code, scan it with your phone and add the app to your home screen.
- Open a pane that runs Claude Code or Codex, then tap an approval or question card to reply.
- Tap Terminal on the pane if a request has no card support and you need the live terminal.
Prompt for your agent
Using the devswha/ovis repo, set up Ovis for the herdr workspace on <target computer> and confirm that the chat view of a running Claude Code or Codex pane loads at 127.0.0.1:7317. Report the pane name, whether approval cards appear and any step that failed.
Caveat. Phone access needs Tailscale or another route to the PC, and the README says session contents are served to any browser you connect, so keep access limited to your own devices.
