About
Motif is an SSH terminal and remote dev-session client for your own machines. Run the open-source motifd daemon on your Mac, Linux box, or any host, then attach from your iPhone or iPad to get a mirrored workspace: terminal sessions, file tree, and git diff, wherever you are.
Like "tmux attach" for your whole dev environment:
• Live PTY terminals — run multiple sessions, synced across attached clients
• Browse the project file tree and open files
• Review changes with a built-in git diff
• Connect directly, over Tailscale, or through an SSH tunnel
• Secured with TLS and a single-user bearer token
Motif is single-user and includes no AI/LLM features — just a clean, fast remote terminal and dev-session client. You bring the server; Motif gives you the window.
motifd is required and runs on your own machine. See the project page for setup instructions:
