Understand it first

Don’t install what you can’t explain. Each of these free tools reads devswha/ovis when you swap github.com in its link for another address.

Get it as one filegitingest.com/devswha/ovis
The whole project as a single text file to paste into Claude or another assistant. Large repos may not fit in one chat.
Or build it on your computer
npx techandria digest devswha/ovis
Built from the current code, which Techandria hasn’t reviewed. The file says so at the top. Add --only src for part of a large repo.
Let your agent read itgitmcp.io/devswha/ovis
A remote MCP server your agent can connect to and read the docs and code live while it works.
Add it to Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http ovis-docs https://gitmcp.io/devswha/ovis

The linked sites are independent services, not part of Techandria. They read the default branch as it is now, not the reviewed commit, and AI-written explanations can be wrong. Repository text you paste into an assistant can contain instructions aimed at it, so treat it as data. None of this is a security review.

Install

A plugin packages commands and behaviour for your agent. Installing one copies it into your agent’s plugin directory. More about plugins.

Not available through Techandria. Techandria only installs commits a person has approved. This one has not been.

You can still get the code from the source and read it yourself:

git clone https://github.com/devswha/ovis

README

Ovis

Your coding agents, on desktop, phone and browser.
Chat with Claude Code, Codex and other agents running on your computer, and answer them with a tap.

Ovis runs on the computer where your agents work, and your phone or any browser connects to it. It is built on herdr and can show the same live terminals as herdr and the Herdr app, so they work side by side. How they fit together →

Install

Desktop app: Mac (Intel) · Windows · Linux (all builds). It needs nothing else, and its terminals are its own: to see the ones you already have in herdr or the Herdr app, install with the command below instead.

With herdr or the Herdr app: one command sets Ovis up beside it. On Linux or macOS:

curl -fsSL https://ovis.sh/install.sh | sh

On Windows, in PowerShell:

irm https://ovis.sh/install.ps1 | iex

On your phone: on the computer, open Settings → Devices and PCs → Add a connection → Ovis relay, switch it on, choose Show the QR code and scan it. A computer in an Ovis account asks the phone to sign in instead. The iPhone and Android apps are in beta. Phone setup →

Features

Agents as a chat. Claude Code, Codex and more, with a turn's commands and edits folded into one line.
Answers with a tap. Approvals and questions arrive as cards.
Push alerts. Even with the app closed.
The real terminal, one click away. With a key bar on phones.
New agents from anywhere. In a folder you pick, from the desktop or the phone.
Every workspace in one list. Other PCs over SSH too.

All features →

Watch it in motion (a 25-second clip)

_{Recorded on the demo, which runs in your browser.}

Limits: your computer has to be on and reachable (the Ovis relay, Tailscale, a VPN or an SSH tunnel). Chat is complete for Claude Code and thinner for other agents; the real terminal always works. On Windows, the one-line install starts on herdr until you switch to the Herdr app's terminals in Settings → About → Terminals.

Privacy: sessions stay on your computer, and no account is needed. The relay is end-to-end encrypted (trust model). Anonymous usage counts are on by default; Settings → About or OVIS_TELEMETRY=0 turns them off (what is sent).

Contributing

CONTRIBUTING.md has the setup and the checks, with development, DESIGN.md and SECURITY.md. Coding agents install Ovis for someone with INSTALL.md, and follow AGENTS.md and the review rules for changes.

Thanks

Built on herdr, with inspiration from chatmux, and powered by xterm.js, React, Bun and Lucide. Thanks to everyone who has contributed, including @Yoonwoo-Ha, and to @sanguneo, who helped design the icon and the website.
