## What is Tmux Bridge?

Tmux Bridge is a phone-native window into the tmux sessions running on your own Mac. Sign in with an email code, pair your laptop with a six-character code, and your iPhone becomes a real terminal — not a web shell, not a relay, not a hosted IDE.

Your sessions never leave your tailnet. tmuxbridge talks directly to a small daemon running on your laptop over Tailscale, terminated with a real Let's Encrypt certificate. There is no middleman tmux server and no cloud terminal to compromise.

FEATURES
- Real xterm.js terminal embedded in the app
- Multiple Macs, fan-out from one phone
- Email-OTP sign-in with self-issued, short-lived tokens
- Six-character pair codes; revoke a machine anytime from Settings
- Mobile keyboard accessory: Esc, Tab, arrows, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-B
- Auto-reconnecting WebSocket; survives bad cell signal

REQUIREMENTS
- A Mac you can install the tmux-bridge daemon on (one-line installer)
- Tailscale installed and signed in on the phone AND the Mac
- tmux installed on the Mac

tmuxbridge is open source under the MIT license. The full source for the iOS app, the Mac daemon, and the backend is available on GitHub.
