Just to reiterate to anyone reading this and being skeptical; it’s 10000000% better than what most apps give you in terms of affordances for allowing permissions in a Mac app.

Does this mean Apple might nuke those capabilities next year? It would not surprise me, but for right now, it’s really freaking good what they managed to put together.

It’s worth downloading the beta just to study their onboarding flow.

It has its own server-client format that replaces both the ssh / mosh layer and the tmux layer, allowing the iOS app to connect to existing sessions on the computer (also the Mac app can either connect to the local Rex server that is included in the app, or to remote servers over Tailscale).

It doesn’t replicate the “remote authentication” part of ssh, and leaves that to Tailscale instead.

Here’s a demo of it on iOS. It’s on a Duo, but you can get the idea from the single-screen part of the demo.

Rex has "sessions" which are like groups of tabs and it is scriptable, I made a little plugin that when invoked pops open a floating terminal asks for a worktree name and sets up a new worktree.

i'm not sure what you're referring to - if herdr had worktree management features, I never used them. that's not something i'd want my terminal multiplexer to do anyway, our worktree automation is part of the repo.
