install

On your computer

- Mac: download Ovis.dmg, open it and click Install.
- Windows: download Ovis.exe, run it and click Install.
- Linux: run this in a terminal.

Each one adds herdr and Bun if they are missing; Node is not needed. Other ways to install, step by step: INSTALL.md.

On your phone

- iPhone: the TestFlight beta, from ovis.sh/beta.
- Android: the Google Play beta, from ovis.sh/beta.
- Browser: no app needed; add the page to the home screen.

With Tailscale on in both, scan the QR code your computer shows to connect. No Tailscale? Turn on the end-to-end encrypted Ovis relay under Settings → Phone & devices and scan its QR code with the phone's camera: it opens Ovis in the phone's browser. How it works →

what you get

- Any agent herdr runs. Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, pi, omp, Gajae Code, Hermes, Grok and more, most as a chat. Supported agents →
- Prompts as cards. Checked as still current before your answer is sent.
- The live terminal, one click away. The same pane herdr shows, with a key bar on phones.
- Every workspace in one list. Tabs, splits and other PCs over SSH, with the ones waiting on you marked.
- Push alerts. When an agent asks something or finishes, even with the app closed.
- Free and MIT. Runs on your own computer, with no account to sign up for.
