Plain facts about Ovis.

How do I set it up?
Install herdr web UI on your computer with one command, curl -fsSL https://herdrweb.dev/install.sh | sh (Linux and macOS; Windows steps are on herdrweb.dev), or use Ovis for Mac once it ships. Then open it in any browser, or scan the QR code in Settings → Phone & devices with the phone app.

How much does Ovis cost?
Ovis is free. It has no ads, no analytics, and no tracking. herdr web UI is also free and open source under the MIT license.
Can I try Ovis before setting up my computer?
Yes. The connect screen in Ovis has a demo with made-up agents, so you can try the chat view, approval cards, and terminal without a PC.
How do I reach my PC when I am away from home?
Ovis talks directly to the PCs you add over your own network—such as Tailscale, a VPN, your home Wi-Fi, or your own HTTPS proxy. There is no Ovis relay server in between.
What if I need to press Esc, Tab, or Ctrl in the terminal?
The agent's own live terminal is always one tap away from the chat view, and includes a dedicated key bar for Esc, Tab and Ctrl.
When will the iPhone and Android apps be available?
