Features

Built for long-running agents.

Sessions that survive

Mosh keeps your session through sleep, Wi-Fi to cellular, even when iOS closes the app. Open Skipper and you're back where you left off.

Herdr first, tmux too

Skipper opens your Herdr workspace, the same one on your desktop. Prefer tmux? It attaches to that instead.

Built for your tailnet

Works over Tailscale or Headscale. No port forwarding, no public IP, no extra accounts.

A terminal made for thumbs

Sticky ctrl, a D-pad, swipe and pinch gestures, and full hardware keyboard support on iPad.

Privacy

Your terminal stays between you and your machine.

Skipper connects straight from your phone to your computer over your own tailnet. Your SSH keys are created on the device and kept in the Keychain behind Face ID.
