Choose Hako when…
Your agents already run in herdr on your Macs, and you want one native list sorted by who needs you. Open those same panes over SSH or Mosh, answer questions from the Lock Screen and continue on your Mac with Handoff.
Both apps let you steer coding agents on your own computers from your phone. Hako connects to the herdr panes already running across your Macs. T3 Code runs agents through its own server, with desktop, web and mobile clients sharing the same workspace.

We make Hako. Here’s why you might choose it, and why you might choose T3 Code.
Your agents already run in herdr on your Macs, and you want one native list sorted by who needs you. Open those same panes over SSH or Mosh, answer questions from the Lock Screen and continue on your Mac with Handoff.
You want a shared interface for several agent providers, with branches, diff review and pull request creation, or need Android, Windows, Linux or browser clients. T3 Connect lets you reach your host without setting up Tailscale; direct pairing is available too.
Compare the workflow and what it takes to get connected.

Hako’s agent workflow needs herdr and Terminal Bridge on your Macs, with Tailscale for access from your phone. Without herdr, it’s a plain SSH and Mosh terminal for Mac and Linux. See Hako’s setup and FAQ.
