What's New in Mud Portal

1.3.0

October 30, 2026

NEW: Game Sounds (MSP) — MUDs that support the MUD Sound Protocol can now play sound effects and music. Off by default: turn it on in Settings > Game Sounds, and set your own volume ceiling. Two things worth knowing: the change reaches a MUD on your next connection, so reconnect if you're already playing, and your device's silent switch mutes game sounds — if you hear your trigger sounds but no game sounds, check the ringer. Sounds download over HTTPS only, and play as WAV, MP3, M4A, AAC or CAF. Ogg Vorbis files, which many soundpacks use, can't be played on iPhone or iPad and are skipped. NEW (VoiceOver): With a hardware keyboard, press Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+9 to hear the last 1 to 9 lines again. NEW: Mud Portal now introduces itself to MUDs with the standard MTTS handshake. MUDs that support it can use 256 and true color, and can see when VoiceOver is running so they can trim ASCII art, maps, and long prompts. NEW: #show injects a line as if the server sent it, so you can test triggers. #clear empties the scrollback. #math evaluates a calculation. NEW: If you buy Pro after seeing the Background Keep-Alive prompt, you're offered it again so you can switch it on. CHANGED: New servers default to a 90-minute background timeout (was 15). Existing servers keep their current setting. FIXED: Two crashes. Quick Connect with a port above 65535, and a rare crash when the output screen resized or the cursor moved out of bounds. Thanks for playing — and keep the feedback coming!

Msp support

This app is perfect, it would be cool if it had MSP support. I’m not sure if you’re planning to add in a new update, otherwise everything‘s working fine. Thank you for such an amazing app.

Thank you for your review, I love how you feel the "app is perfect". We were working on MSP support and had the framework started just not finished yet. We spent all last week working on this and it is completed. We are currently testing and should have it up soon. Once v1.3.0 goes up and it's live, go to Settings → Game Sounds and turn on "Game Sounds (MSP)" — then reconnect, when the MUD connects it negotiates this so can't turn on mid-game. Hopefully this will earn us a better rating, if you have additional suggestions or requests please email mudportal@beranek.us and we'll consider them in future releases. Thank you for your continued support!

Great mud client!

Tried several and none feel comfortable like this one. However, it would be awesome if the app could stay connected after closing the app. I know there are limitations as the documentation states, but somehow the app Termius is able to keep a Telnet session alive and shows on lock screen as an active connection when the app is closed. This would be epic!

Thank you for your kind review! We were actually testing the Pillbox and Lock Screen features, and we're happy to say that testing is wrapping up. They should be available in an upcoming release. We're also adding Bluetooth keyboard shortcuts, including Alt+1, Alt+2, and more for quick active session switching, making it much easier to play multiple MUDs at the same time. If you have any additional bug reports or feature requests, please send them to mudportal@beranek.us. To everyone who has taken the time to share ideas, report bugs, and provide feedback/reviews —thank you for your continued support. And a special thank you to all of our PRO purchasers and yearly subscribers. Your support helps keep MudPortal growing and improving, and we truly appreciate it!

Mud Portal Review

I’m one week in and the app already outshines the competition. I’ve found the usability and functionality to be refreshing and intuitive so far. Will update as I continue to experience the app.

Thank you for the review! If you find anything that needs adjusted or enhanced please let us know at mudportal@beranek.us.

One issue I see

I love it! Genuinely it’s one of the best mobile clients I’ve tried. I just have one problem. It’s inability to send blank lines, some games require them. And it’s really frustrating to not be able to access them
Rren67,

Response from developer

Thank you — this genuinely made our day! We are so sorry and you are right about blank lines: some MUDs won't advance prompts without them, and there was no way to send one. That's fixed in v1.2.2, just released — you'll find the "Send Blank Lines" option in Settings, with the ability to override it per world for the games that need it. If you run into anything else, email us at mudportal@beranek.us and we'll get it sorted. We'd love to earn more stars, just let us know what we can do. Happy MUDding!

It’s really good so far

I love it so far I didn’t have trouble connecting to the mud server that I needed. The only thing is how do I make it read the output after I type in my command? That doesn’t seem to work for me with VoiceOver thank you

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are addressing this now. We look to have it out for testing soon. Look for an update to the application soon.
