Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source Android client that connects to Herdr workspaces, terminal panes, and agents over SSH.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-20 issue.
For
Herdr users who need mobile SSH access
Worth noticing
The first connection requires checking the host-key fingerprint; SSH secrets are encrypted with a key held by Android Keystore.

Field notes

On first launch, the app generates an Ed25519 device key; users can add its public key to the host or sign it with an SSH CA. It can import ~/.ssh/config, including ProxyJump entries, and checks host keys on each jump-host hop. The terminal renderer uses libghostty-vt, while credentials are encrypted with an Android Keystore-held key. The host must have Herdr 0.9.0 or later and /bin/sh; PowerShell-only Windows hosts are unsupported.
