Pocketty is an iPhone and iPad SSH terminal built to surface and respond to long-running "agents" (herdr workspaces/tabs) from a phone. When an agent is blocked or finishes, the host daemon seals a short alert for that specific phone and a relay forwards the sealed bytes to Apple Push Notification Service; tapping the notification opens the exact Pane over an SSH connection so the user can type real keystrokes (Return, Esc, Ctrl, arrows) or send text mode payloads, dictation, images and files. The interface shows every Pane and live agent state, offers per-turn/session/uncommitted diffs by snapshotting the worktree, previews localhost ports forwarded over SSH, supports plain SSH/tmux/zellij, and runs a Ghostty-based terminal with desktop-like keys and nerd fonts. Example workflow in the preview shows editing a Rust relay where a literal 60 is replaced with a new RETRY_AFTER constant across files.
Security and setup are central: SSH keys are created in the Secure Enclave and guarded by Face ID, host keys are pinned, and notifications are sealed with HPKE (X25519 · ChaCha20) so the relay and Apple only see ciphertext. Setup is a small daemon install, proximity tap on Wi‑Fi, and code verification; Tailscale provides remote access after pairing. Pricing is a 14‑day free trial then a one‑time $99 launch price. Compared to Moshi, Pocketty prioritizes minimal server involvement and never exposes Pane text to third parties.
