## What is DuckTerm?

DuckTerm is the iPhone terminal for AI engineers running long Claude / Codex / Gemini / Cursor sessions on remote machines.

Get pushed when an agent finishes a task or asks for approval. Tap from the lockscreen to approve or jump into a real SSH terminal to debug live — no laptop required.

— What you get for free —
• 2 saved SSH servers (password auth)
• Plain shell + tmux session list
• Real SSH terminal built natively (not a webview wrapper)
• Inbox for agent push notifications (30-day retention)

— Pro unlocks —
• Unlimited servers + private key (.pem) auth
• tmux session attach with live capture-pane preview
• HTTP CONNECT / SOCKS5 proxy + SSH ProxyJump (bastion)
• Mosh transport — UDP roaming, predictive echo on flaky networks
• SFTP file browser
• Voice input + custom themes + iCloud sync
• Multi-tab terminal + agent hooks (remote webhooks)
• Inbox unlimited retention

— Privacy —
SSH credentials live only in iOS Keychain. We never see them; we never upload them. Agent push notifications are delivered through DuckTerm's push relay or your own webhook. No analytics, no ads, no third-party tracking.

— Pricing —
Free forever for the basics. Pro is $0.99/mo, $9.99/yr, or $14.99 lifetime.
