Waycar: your herdr and tmux agents on iPhone and iPad, over mosh and SSH

Your agents stay attached. Over mosh, and SSH.

Then run this on your Mac or Linux box:

Command to install Waycar for herdr or tmux

$ curl -fsSL https://waycar.dev/install.sh | sh

SSH drops when your phone moves. mosh keeps going.

SSH is tied to one network. mosh keeps your session on your machine and syncs it to your phone as you change networks.

When the phone switches from Wi-Fi to cellular, the SSH terminal drops and reconnects while the mosh terminal keeps streaming.

Roams

Wi-Fi to cellular, same session. No reconnect.

Catches up at once

After a dead zone you see the live screen, not a replay of every byte.

Falls back

No UDP? Waycar switches to SSH on its own. A MOSH or SSH badge shows which.

Quick return

Come back and pick up where you left off.

Chat Mode

Skip the terminal. Just talk to your agent.

Read the reply without opening the app. herdr only, for now.

Answer permission prompts in the chat. The terminal is one tap away.

Images and videos appear above the reply.

Touch and hold the Waycar icon, then tap New Chat.

Know which account runs dry. Before your agent does.

With CodexBar on a Host, the Console shows the provider closest to its limit.

Every provider, lowest first

Session and weekly gauges, pace, and reset times.

Closed Sessions

Quit by accident? Pick up where you left off.

Ended agents stay for 30 days. Two taps bring one back.

Tap Closed

Ended agents, newest first. Search works too.

Tap one

It reopens in a new tab, in the same folder.

You're back

Most agents resume the same chat.

Already on tmux? Keep it.

tmux 3.2 or later works too, with the same install command. Run both? One list.

FAQ

Before you ask.

How do I get Waycar? Download it on the App Store, then run the install command on each machine, or add one by hand.

What does Waycar cost? Free for 10 Launches (new agents or shells, and resumed agents) every 30 days. Watching running agents never counts. Waycar Pro removes the limit for $5 a month or $40 a year in the US, and renews until you cancel in your Apple Account.

Does anything go through the cloud? Not your sessions: they go over SSH straight to your machine. Push notifications and usage analytics are optional. AI Summaries, if you turn them on, send recent screen text to your AI provider.
