README

Hermit

A focused iOS SSH client built for developers who live in tmux and Claude Code.

Hermit is not a general-purpose terminal emulator. It connects to remote dev machines, attaches to named tmux sessions, and provides configurable soft keys and voice input for working with Claude Code from your phone.

Requirements

iOS 17+
Xcode 16+

Getting Started

Clone the repo
Open Hermit/Hermit.xcodeproj in Xcode
Build and run on a simulator or device

iCloud Drive Sync

Session and host configuration is stored in `hermit-data.json` in your iCloud Drive container. This syncs automatically across all devices signed into the same iCloud account. You can edit this file directly from a Mac:

# In Finder
iCloud Drive → Hermit → Documents → hermit-data.json

# Or via terminal
~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~zeromissionllc~hermit/Documents/hermit-data.json

Private keys are stored in the iOS Keychain and do not sync — they must be added per device.

Fastlane

TestFlight and App Store deployment is automated via Fastlane.

cd Hermit
bundle install
cp fastlane/.env.example fastlane/.env
# Fill in your credentials in .env
bundle exec fastlane beta      # Upload to TestFlight
bundle exec fastlane release   # Submit for App Store review

See `fastlane/.env.example` for required environment variables.
