Your work lives on your own machines. Nomad lets you reach it from your phone — and keeps it running while you are away. Start something on your Mac, your Linux box, your NAS or a cloud server. Lock the screen, get on a train, change networks: the session stays alive on the machine, not on the phone. Open the app again and you are exactly where you left off. WORK WITH AI CODING AGENTS Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, OpenCode, Hermes and others run on your computer, signed in with your own accounts and keys. Nomad turns them into a chat you can follow from anywhere. • Send a photo, a screenshot or a video with your prompt • Tap a file path in a reply to open the file • Queue the next instruction, approve a permission request, pause or cancel a turn • Put several agents in one conversation and @mention whoever takes the next task REACH THE WHOLE MACHINE, NOT JUST THE CHAT When an agent finishes a change you still have to restart the service, read the log, check the port, look at the screen and pull the file down. That is all here too. • A real SSH terminal, with a customisable key bar and hardware-keyboard support • Files over SFTP and SMB: browse, transfer, preview, edit • A remote desktop over VNC, with trackpad or direct pointer and Retina scaling • Port forwarding, ping, traceroute, LAN scan, and live CPU, memory and disk YOUR MACHINES, YOUR KEYS Passwords and private keys stay in the iOS Keychain and never leave the device. Nomad connects straight to your hosts over SSH — nothing in between, no server of ours in the path. Terminal output, chat content, commands and file contents are never collected. Signing in with Apple, Google, or GitHub is optional and syncs only non-secret settings between your own devices. Nomad needs a computer to connect to: a Mac, a Linux server, a NAS or a cloud VM you can reach over SSH.
