Pocketty

A new mobile application called Pocketty has launched for iOS devices, targeting software developers and system administrators who monitor automated software tools. According to the product website, the application acts as a secure terminal interface for iPhones and iPads, letting users oversee remote coding assistants and server operations while away from their desks.

The app integrates directly with herdr to track background programming tasks, alerting developers whenever an artificial intelligence agent finishes a job or requires human input. According to the developer documentation, the mobile software connects directly over secure shell protocols or Tailscale networks without sending server sessions through external third party intermediaries. Alerts are encrypted on the host machine so that notification relays cannot inspect the underlying data, allowing users to safely review code changes, approve edits, or inspect local web server previews from a phone screen.

Pocketty supports a wide range of developer tools, including popular coding assistants like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot, while also functioning as a standard terminal for traditional command line workflows. The application offers a free fourteen day evaluation period, after which users can purchase a permanent lifetime license for a single payment.

While mobile terminal clients have existed for years, tailoring the experience specifically around the intermittent supervision of autonomous coding agents reflects a clear shift in software engineering workflows. It remains to be seen whether developers will embrace managing complex software builds on tiny touchscreen keyboards, or if phone based interventions will remain strictly reserved for quick emergency fixes.
