≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 3,225 llms.txt files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

# Ovis

> Ovis is a free, open-source browser and phone client for herdr, the terminal multiplexer. Read and answer Claude Code, Codex and the other coding agents running in herdr on your computer, as a chat or in the live terminal, from your phone, your desktop or any browser.

Ovis was called herdr web UI until it took the name Ovis; older links and installs use the old name.

Ovis runs on the computer where your agents run, as a herdr plugin, and serves the app to your browsers: on that computer, or on your phone over a route you control, such as Tailscale, an SSH tunnel, a VPN or your own HTTPS proxy. Ovis has no hosted relay or account service of its own; the optional Portal integration gives the PC a public HTTPS address through a relay you choose. Every herdr pane is a live terminal; for the supported agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, pi, Hermes and the others in the guide) the pane also reads as a chat, with supported approvals and questions as cards you tap. On a phone it installs to the home screen as a web app and sends push alerts when an agent needs you.

Ovis needs [herdr](https://github.com/herdrdev/herdr) 0.9.0 or newer. herdr owns the panes and the agents; Ovis connects to them.

Install it on the computer where your agents run. On Linux with glibc (x64, arm64) or macOS (Intel, Apple Silicon): `curl -fsSL https://ovis.sh/install.sh | sh`. On Windows x64, in PowerShell, with Git for Windows installed: `irm https://ovis.sh/install.ps1 | iex`. The installer adds what is missing for your user (herdr, Bun and, outside Windows, Node), installs Ovis as a herdr plugin and gives the address to open, normally http://127.0.0.1:7317. An agent helping someone install Ovis should follow INSTALL.md, linked below.

Ovis is free and open source under the MIT license, made by devswha (https://github.com/devswha). The source is at https://github.com/devswha/ovis.

Not to be confused with the Ovis multimodal AI models from AIDC-AI (Alibaba); OVIS, the HPC monitoring software that ships LDMS; or Ovis, the sheep genus (Ovis is Latin for sheep).

    How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
