The real work: server-side limits, idempotent upload IDs, thumbnails, ETags, and HEAD requests—because “attach more files” is apparently a distributed systems feature wearing a paperclip.

Setup is much faster with Agent Server 0.8.0.
Run `bun run app:qr`, scan the invitation and PocketHook configures the connection securely.
Invitations expire after five minutes, work once and contain a temporary code—not your actual credentials.

PocketHook 1.4 is available now.
It started as a “quick update” and ended with multiple servers, QR pairing, per-server appearance, safer Shortcuts routing and enough settings to qualify as property management.

Shortcuts and the Share Sheet can target a server.
Existing automations stay attached to their original destination. If that server disappears, PocketHook won’t silently send content elsewhere.
A surprisingly useful feature called “not sending data to the wrong place.”

Jev could classify each task, then route it to the cheapest model or the right tool—without asking a frontier LLM whether “open Safari” is hard.

Typed decisions, fast routing, fewer “ask the giant model everything” round trips.

PocketHook 1.3: https://apps.apple.com/es/app/pockethook/id6761634641
Server 0.7.0: https://github.com/pockethook-app/pockethook-agent-server/releases/tag/v0.7.0
SDK 0.1.3: https://github.com/pockethook-app/pockethook-sdk/releases/tag/v0.1.3
PocketHook 1.3 is out. Not just an app update: I shipped the iOS app, Agent Server 0.7.0 and SDK 0.1.3 as one coordinated stack. Because apparently “let my phone talk to my own infrastructure” needed three release pipelines. Sensible weekend planning.

On iOS, PocketHook can now take text, links, images and PDFs from the Share Sheet, attach files or camera shots in chat, render attachments inline, open app deep links, and browse your photo library through local pockethook:// links.

Results stick around until the app saves and acknowledges them. Interrupted side effects are not blindly replayed. Exactly-once execution across another app is still fiction, so PocketHook refuses to pretend otherwise.

We’ve done our part. Now we wait to see whether App Review takes hours, days, or enters a different dimension where time has no meaning.

Peak wrist computing.
PocketHook needs a native one-tap action instead. Apparently removing a tap is now a product feature.
