scarf

Needs: macOS 14.6+ (Sonoma) for ScarfiOS 18.0+ for ScarfGo (the iPhone companion, public TestFlight from v2.5)Xcode 16.0+ to build from sourceHermes agent v0.6.0+ installed at ~/.hermes/ on each target host (v0.17.0+ recommended for the full v2.12 surface — WhatsApp Business Cloud API + SimpleX setup forms, Telegram rich-messages / online-offline status toggles, an opt-in curator-consolidation toggle, and a max-concurrent-sessions cap, on top of the v0.16 soft-delete/rewind correctness fixes and the broader v0.13–v0.15 feature set. Older hosts down to v0.6.0 work — every release-gated surface is capability-gated and simply hidden on hosts that don't support it.)For remote servers: SSH access (key-based), sqlite3 on the remote (for atomic DB snapshots), and the hermes CLI resolvable from the remote user's PATH or at a path you specify per server. ScarfGo requires the same on every Hermes host it connects to.
