About
ZenTerm is a self-hosted terminal client for iPhone and iPad, designed to run AI coding agents on a server you own — no cloud, no middleman, no account.
It connects your device directly to your own machine (a Mac at home, a single-board computer, or a Linux VPS), letting you browse, edit, and run commands from anywhere.
FEATURES
• Full Terminal — A real xterm.js-based shell with tmux multi-window tabs
• Multiple Sessions — Run several AI coding agents in parallel and switch between them
• iPad Workspace — Landscape support, sidebar navigation, and split panes for side-by-side work
• Guided Setup — Start the Gateway, pair by QR code, and configure remote access step by step
• Rate Limit Tracking — Monitor your AI agent usage at a glance from Settings
• File Browser — Browse, upload, and download files on your server
• Dark & Light Themes — A calm Zen Garden visual design
HOW IT WORKS
Run the open-source ZenTerm Gateway on a computer you own (any Mac, Linux machine, single-board computer, or VPS).
Your iPhone or iPad communicates directly with the Gateway over WebSocket. Nothing routes through our servers — your data stays with you.
WHO IT'S FOR
• Check on your server from anywhere
• Operate AI coding agents from your iPhone or iPad
• Prefer a self-hosted, open-source solution over a SaaS terminal
PRIVACY
No account required. No ads. No analytics. No tracking.
All data stays on your device and on your server.
