Have you tried moshi? It’s Herdr aware.
Tui-in-guis like orca are nice mostly because of sensible keybinds without prefix or leader
Moshi is pretty fantastic. I’ve been using it for several months and it works great. The developer is also launching fixes and improvements every week. It’s gotten materially better over the time I’ve been using it and it started out pretty great.

Looks good but not way I'm paying a subscription for a tool like this, make me pay a one time fee and give 1 year of updates (90€ would still be too much for me, 50€ I might reconsider).

You can already do that. They have a one-off payment forever

Ah sorry didn't open my eyes apparently, still a bit expensive to me but I will probably test drive it then, hope the desktop app is good it's probably even more important than the mobile app to me and does not seem like their focus at all.

I'm still not convinced about paying it. I'm wondering if something similar can be vibecoded for personal use

I'm using Ovis a plugin for herdr that adds a web app wich works well enough on web and desktop, but I feel like I'm playing Russian roulette every time I'm updating it and there's updates every day... It's the trust issue of vibe coded apps... Moshi I would feel slightly more confident they won't voluntarily add malware to it and pay attention to security.

try cosyra mobile. Its the best mobile client for herdr. It uses websocket and is has a really smooth ux.
This is a paid per month app? Why?

I've been using a Collie on Android to connect to my herdr server, it's very good
I use https://github.com/0cv/herdr-mobile-relay
I use it only with tailscale.

If you are on iOS, Heeler is a great Herdr client.
termux+mosh is fine, but especially on a phone I'd love a slightly more intuitive (or really, efficient) UI. Especially as mosh breaks touch/mouse input on the remote host.
I've never understood the point of the desktop GUI harnesses to run TUI (or at the very least, primarily text-based) programs anyway, but perhaps they're better for onboarding less tech-savvy users.
