The real thing.

Straight from the iOS simulator, not a mockup.

Your agentsherdr workspaces and tabs, with each agent's live state.
The PaneOne Pane, full screen, at your phone's size.
Real keysCtrl, Esc, Tab, a d-pad and symbols, right above the keyboard.
Files and photosAttach from Photos, the camera or Files. The path is typed for you.

herdr, native

Every agent, every Pane, at a glance.

pocketty speaks herdr's own API.
Your workspaces and tabs show up as a native list.
Each agent shows its state: working, needs you, or done.

Panes, not screenshots
Open any Pane full screen, at phone size. Lock the phone, and your desk gets it back.
Run herdr from the couch
Start a tab or a workspace. Rename a tab, or swipe a Pane away.
No hooks in your agents
pocketty reads agent state from herdr. It never edits an agent's config files.
Plain SSH, too
No herdr? You get a normal login shell. Or tmux and zellij, with a startup command.

Works with every agent herdr knows, including

Codex
OpenCode
Gemini CLI
Cursor
GitHub Copilot

Review the work

See what your agents did.

Check a diff, read a file, or open the dev server.
All from the Pane where the agent works.

Diffs by agent turn

The daemon snapshots the worktree each time an agent starts work.
So you see what this turn changed, not everything at once.

Last turnOnly what the agent changed since it last started work.
SessionEvery change in the agent's session, turn after turn.
UncommittedEverything since the last commit, like git diff.

Turn and session diffs need the daemon on the host.

The Changes tab with Last turn selected: one Rust file, 3 lines added and 2 removed.

The diff of that file: a named constant replaces two copies of 60.

A file browser
Browse and search the worktree of any Pane. Code shows in color, in 20 color schemes.
Previews of localhost
When a Pane opens a port, pocketty offers a preview. The page loads through your SSH connection. No tunnel to set up.

Security

Your work stays between your phone and your computers.

Your terminal never touches our servers.
We only pass along agent notifications, if you turn them on.
And we can't read those.

The terminal

Every keystroke and every line of output.

always direct

The App connects straight to your computer.
We are not on this path, so there is nothing for us to see.

Agent notifications

The short alert when an agent is blocked or done.

optional

Your computerpocketty daemonSeals
Writes the alert. Never Pane text. Seals it with your phone's key.
Our relayCloudflare WorkerForwards
Passes the sealed bytes to Apple. Can't open them. Keeps nothing.
ApplePush Notification serviceForwards
Delivers them to your phone. Sees only “Agent update”.
Your iPhonenotification extensionOpens
Opens the seal on the phone. Checks which computer sent it.

Notifications off? Then the App only ever talks to your own computers.

Keys that can't leave
Your SSH key is made in the Secure Enclave. Face ID can guard the App, too.
Pinned host keys
A changed host key stops the connection. pocketty asks before it trusts the new one.
Two-sided proof
Seals use HPKE in auth mode. An alert from anyone else won't open.
No account, no tracking
The App has no sign-up, no email and no analytics. There is nothing to sign in to.

Setup

Add a computer in a minute.

No keys to copy around.
You approve your phone on the computer itself, with a code.

1
Install the daemon
One small binary, running as you. It writes only to its own folder.
$ curl -fsSL https://pocketty.work/install.sh | sh
2
Tap it under Nearby
On the same Wi-Fi, your computers show up by themselves. After that, Tailscale reaches them from anywhere.
3
Type the code on your computer
Your phone shows six digits. Your Mac asks for them. Your key goes in, and the host key is pinned.

Any SSH server works without the daemon, too.
pocketty gives you a one-line setup command.

A connection that picks itself up.

pocketty checks the link every five seconds.
If it drops, pocketty reconnects by itself.
Plain SSH means no version mismatches.

Compare

Fewer features. None of them leak.

Moshi does more: Mosh, Apple Watch, Live Activities, a chat view.
pocketty does less, on purpose.
Your agents' words stay off other people's servers.

pocketty vs Moshi
Feature	pocketty	Moshi
Price	Yes: Free for 14 days. Then one payment in $POCKETTY, with every update.	Free tier. Pro is $9.99 a month, $89.99 a year, or $199 lifetime ($249 in the App Store).
What a notification carries	Yes: Agent, state, computer, workspace and tab, sealed on your computer with HPKE. Never Pane text.	No: moshi-hook sends titles, messages, the prompt (up to 200 characters) and the command to approve (up to 256) to Moshi's server.
Who can read it	Yes: Only your phone. Our relay and Apple see ciphertext.	No: Moshi's server, which caches inbox events for up to 24 hours. Banners go through Expo Push.
herdr	Yes: Native Pane view over herdr's own API, with live agent state. Included.	Partly: Session picker and attach are Pro. Chat View needs moshi-hook.
How it learns agent state	Yes: From herdr. Nothing is installed into your agents.	Partly: moshi-hook writes hooks into each supported agent's config files.
Diffs	Yes: The last agent turn, the whole session, or since the last commit	Partly: Uncommitted changes only, side by side. Pro, with moshi-hook.
Matching versions	Yes: Never needed. App and daemon update in any order.	Partly: The App flags an out-of-date moshi-hook. Desktop needs hook 0.3.1 or later.

Token

The $POCKETTY token

pocketty is paid for with $POCKETTY. One payment, no card, no subscription. The same token settles the notification relay, and the people who run those relays stake it to earn the fees.

It launches on Solana. Coming soon — no presale, no private round, no team allocation.

One payment, no cardBuy pocketty once with $POCKETTY instead of paying per seat. Yours for good, every future update included.
Relay creditsSealed agent notifications are forwarded by the relay. Each forward is settled in $POCKETTY, so the network pays for itself.
Run a relayStake $POCKETTY to run a relay node and earn the fees it forwards. The relay only ever sees sealed bytes.
GovernHolders vote on the relay fee schedule, the price of pocketty in $POCKETTY, and what gets built next.

Questions

How does the free trial work?

Everything works for 14 days, from your first connection. Then one payment in $POCKETTY keeps it. Nothing is charged when the trial ends.

Do I need herdr?

No. pocketty works with any computer you reach over SSH. herdr adds the native Pane view and agent notifications.

Do I need Tailscale?

It is the path we recommend. It gives each computer an address that works anywhere, and code setup needs it. Any SSH server you can reach works too.

What do I install on my computer?

Nothing, for a plain shell. Install the pocketty daemon for agent notifications and code setup.

Can you read my notifications?

No. Your computer seals each one so only your phone can open it. Our relay passes the sealed bytes to Apple, and keeps nothing.

Why no Mosh?

SSH is already on every computer. Over Tailscale the address never changes, and pocketty reconnects in a moment. One protocol also means no version mismatches.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. pocketty is for iPhone and iPad today.

Leave the desk. Keep the agents.
