Halyard launches an AI Agent terminal for Mac and iPhone
Understand this story
Bartosz Rajewski has released Halyard, a universal app for Mac and iPhone/iPad that connects via SSH to tmux sessions on the user's own server, used to view the running status of AI agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini, and to approve or reply to their requests. Sessions keep running after a network drop or closing the lid, and return to the same place upon reconnection; the Mac version renders based on libghostty. The app has no relay server and requires no account registration. The free version requires users to keep SSH, tmux, and docker running themselves; the Pro version costs $24.99 and offers a 14-day free trial.
