How to continue a Herdr workspace on your phone with Roamgate

Start work on a computer, then pick up the same Herdr workspace and sessions from a phone through Roamgate.

Remote script. The quick install pipes a script from GitHub Releases directly into sh, so review the script or pin a version with ROAMGATE_VERSION before running it.

Credentials. Normal runtime requires login, and a phone that gets the URL or QR code gains access to terminals and real files, so protect the login and read SECURITY.md before giving another device access.

Who it is forA developer who starts agent sessions at a desk and wants to check progress or step in from a phone while away.

The problemYour Herdr sessions live on one machine, so leaving the desk usually means losing access to the work in progress.

The outcomeThe same workspace, agent sessions, and terminals open in a phone browser or installed PWA while Herdr keeps running.

What you need first

  • A running Herdr server (the README says Roamgate requires one)
  • Linux, macOS, or Windows machine to host Roamgate
  • A browser on the computer and, for mobile use, a phone on the same reachable network or a private remote access setup you have configured
  • Bun 1.4.3 or newer, only if you run Roamgate from source

Steps

  1. Install and start Herdr, or run roamgate herdr setup later to let Roamgate do it.
  2. Install Roamgate with curl -fsSL https://github.com/powerfooI/roamgate/releases/latest/download/install-roamgate.sh | sh on Linux or macOS. (inferred, check the README)
  3. Run roamgate and open the printed URL in a browser on the computer, then log in.
  4. Run roamgate url --qr and scan the QR code with your phone.
  5. On iPhone or iPad Safari, use Share and then Add to Home Screen to install the app.

Prompt for your agent

Using the powerfooI/roamgate README, set up Roamgate on <target machine> so a phone can reach the running Herdr workspace. Run `roamgate url --qr` and report the URL and the QR output. Verify that the URL loads the workspace list after login before reporting success.

Caveat. The README says a PWA is not offline access, so Roamgate must stay running and reachable from the phone for this to work.
