What's New in MuxPad
1.4.3
September 8, 2026
Drag files from the Files app or Finder to upload them to your server, and drag files out of muxpad to save them on your device. Sort, refresh and select are now one tap away in file transfer. On iPhone the top rows are combined into one, leaving more room for the list. Links printed in the terminal open when you tap them, and hyperlinks sent by the server are underlined. Hidden files are no longer shown by default in SFTP. You can turn them back on from the menu. tmux 3.0a and later are now supported. If your server's tmux is too old for a feature, muxpad tells you when you connect. Fixed the terminal briefly covering the sidebar when switching between muxes on iPad.
