FAQ
What is Pocketmux?
Pocketmux provides secure, real-time access to your tmux terminal sessions from your mobile device. It allows you to monitor and interact with your remote sessions without complex setup like VPNs or open ports.
How does Pocketmux connect to my computer?
Pocketmux uses WebRTC peer-to-peer data channels for direct, encrypted connections between your phone and computer. A signaling server helps devices find each other, but terminal data flows directly and is end-to-end encrypted.
Is Pocketmux secure?
Yes, Pocketmux is built with a zero-knowledge architecture. Terminal data is end-to-end encrypted, device authentication uses cryptographic keys, and the open-source nature allows for verification of security claims.
Can I run commands in Pocketmux?
Yes, Pocketmux is a fully interactive terminal client, not just a viewer. You can run commands, interact with AI coding assistants, and manage your server sessions just as you would in a desktop tmux session.
What devices does Pocketmux support?
Pocketmux is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod. The pmux CLI agent can be installed on Mac, Linux, and WSL.

Is the Pocketmux agent open source?
Yes, the pmux CLI agent, wire protocol, signaling server, and shared libraries are all free and open source under the MIT license. This allows users to inspect the code and even self-host the stack.
