$ duckterm-hookd setup --qr

[ok] Background service is running
Open DuckTerm → Settings → Agent notifications

Runs beside your agents on macOS, native Windows, or Linux. One platform command installs it with a local Web UI, displays a pairing QR, wires the hooks, and starts the service. Windows uses a checksum-verified PowerShell installer; WSL remains a separate Linux target.

DATA PATHS · NO HAND-WAVING
DuckTerm keeps the terminal data plane separate from optional Agent, sync, and voice services. These are the paths the current apps actually use.
Phone / Pad ↔ your host
SSH, Mosh, and SFTP connect directly to your host; only a proxy or bastion you configure is in that path.

interactive: hookd ↔ relay ↔ app · notifications: relay → APNs / FCM → app
Events, approvals, replies, and Live Preview fallback can pass through DuckTerm’s relay; notifications then use APNs or FCM. Preview and image bytes prefer LAN/P2P when available; P2P may use TURN.

CloudKit · Keychain · KVS
The app sync switch controls CloudKit server metadata and workspaces. Credential sync follows the system iCloud Keychain setting instead, outside that switch; the pairing bearer also uses Keychain + iCloud KVS independently.

Drive appDataFolder · Keystore
When Drive sync is enabled, it stores the full vault in private appDataFolder. Credential-field encryption is optional and off by default; other vault data remains plaintext inside the file, while Google protects transport and storage.

Notification event content: scheduled for deletion about 60–65 minutes after relay receipt, with cleanup also run at service startup. Live Activity content: cleared about one minute after unfollow; state removed about 24 hours after the last event. Routing and delivery metadata follow separate retention.
System recognition may use the platform vendor’s network. Experimental ChatGPT voice sends a temporary clip through the relay and paired daemon to OpenAI.

iCloud and Google Drive do not sync with each other. More storage, encryption, deletion, and third-party processing details are in the Privacy Policy.
Run one platform command where your agents live, then scan its pairing QR code in DuckTerm — there is no separate hookd signup or cloud dashboard.
Open Settings → Agent notifications in DuckTerm so the QR scanner is ready.
Run the platform command once. It installs hookd with its local Web UI, displays a pairing QR, wires supported Agent notifications, and starts the service after pairing.
Check duckterm-hookd status, then use the app’s local and platform-push tests. Future upgrades and service restarts keep the pairing.
What you get
Mapped Agent lifecycle events, direct tmux/psmux/Herdr session entry, and SSH/Mosh that holds up on weak networks. Free is genuinely useful; Pro unlocks the long-haul terminal tools.
Status and session events from 14 tested Agent workflows — plus approval where supported — in one feed with full markdown body.
Enter long-running tmux, Windows psmux, and Herdr work directly from your phone, with full ANSI color, mouse, and scrollback.
UDP transport + predictive echo. Switch Wi-Fi → 5G → subway → coffee shop without losing the agent session.
Password + private key (.pem) + ProxyJump bastion + HTTP/SOCKS5 proxy. Hop into any production host.
Browse, preview, and write files. No detour into a separate file-transfer app.
Voice input, custom themes, iCloud sync on iOS, and private Google Drive appDataFolder sync on Android.
PROJECT WORKBENCH
Open the trusted project attached to an Inbox session instead of leaving DuckTerm for a separate code or Git client.
Shown only when hookd provides trusted project and session context. Mutating actions are never inferred from chat text.
DIRECT-FIRST NETWORKING
DuckTerm selects one data path at a time and prefers local or peer connectivity before a public endpoint or the shared relay.
Recommended setupPrefer LAN, or make remote machines part of a trusted LAN through a VPN/private overlay. If you operate infrastructure, Public Direct can use Cloudflare Tunnel, frp/rathole, Tailscale Funnel, or an HTTPS reverse proxy.
Public Direct boundaryProxy only hookd loopback port 11435. Never expose LAN port 11434 or local management port 20080 to the Internet.
No account, no ads. One small subscription — or a single lifetime purchase — unlocks everything.
A genuinely useful daily driver.
Everything, unlimited.
All of Pro, forever.
Prices in USD, billed by the store you buy from (App Store on iOS; Google Play on Android). Subscriptions can be canceled anytime in your store's subscription settings; the lifetime purchase is a one-time payment — nothing to cancel. Purchases restore on devices of the same store account.
DuckTerm keeps a genuinely useful Free tier. Pro purchases and infrastructure sponsors help cover the shared relay, mobile distribution, and release tooling behind it.
A plain-language cost snapshot — not a fundraising target.
USD, before tax. Vendor prices checked in August 2026; relay and internal subscription figures are operating estimates and change with usage.
We welcome cloud credits, regional bandwidth, or relay capacity that can reduce the cost of keeping the shared path available.
Sponsorship never includes access to terminal traffic, SSH credentials, user data, or private operations.
