A mobile terminal designed for AI coding agents. Your coding agent runs on a server — you're not always at your desk. Moshi bridges that gap. BUILT FOR AI AGENTS Check on Claude Code from the couch. Nudge Codex from the coffee shop. Monitor Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, or Aider from anywhere. Your agent doesn't sleep, and now neither does your access to it. TALK, DON'T TYPE Voice-to-terminal with on-device AI. Command your agent hands-free using Whisper speech recognition. No cloud, no latency — everything runs locally on your device. NEVER DROPS Powered by the Mosh protocol that survives network switches, sleep mode, and subway tunnels. Your session stays alive no matter what. GET NOTIFIED Webhook alerts when tasks complete. Start a long-running job, pocket your phone, and live your life. Get a push notification when it's done. FACE ID FOR SSH KEYS Biometric unlock for your SSH keys. Private keys stored securely in iOS Keychain, protected by Face ID or Touch ID. Never stored in the app. PROPER KEYBOARD A terminal keyboard built for real work. Ctrl, Esc, Tab, arrows, and Tmux shortcuts. Not an afterthought — designed for terminal power users. SESSION RESUME Sessions persist across app switches. Come back anytime and pick up where you left off. Your terminal state is always waiting. PRIVACY FIRST - SSH keys stored in iOS Keychain with biometric protection - Voice dictation runs entirely on-device - No passwords or keys transmitted to our servers - All terminal data stays on your device A terminal that picks up — and never hangs up.

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 SHARE YOUR AGENT WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS Let the people you trust chat with your agent too. They scan a one-time QR code or open an invitation link, and they only join after you approve them. You choose whether they can chat and how much history they see, and you can pause or revoke access at any time. Creating a share requires signing in; recipients do not need an account. 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 — it syncs only non-secret settings between your own devices, and is required only to share an agent. Nomad needs a computer to connect to: a Mac, a Linux server, a NAS or a cloud VM you can reach over SSH.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NomadCode at none against Moshi's 15. NomadCode also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Moshi's advantage is ratings volume (567 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
