> The idea is simple: when PagerDuty wakes you up, many incidents boil down to executing the same sequence of SSH commands or operational steps. Instead of opening a laptop, you can execute a predefined runbook directly from your phone.

Why don't you automate those steps completely then? Then you don't have to click anything, need this app, or even wake up :/

Does this need a special agent on my server?

No, nothing to install on your server. Everything is done via SSH from your phone and the server, there is nothing in-between. When you first SSH into the server, the key is stored in your keychain and reused for these operations. This way, you don't have to enter it everytime, but it's still safely stored.
