About

MuxPod

Features
Read full description

MuxPod puts your tmux sessions in your pocket. Connect straight to your server over SSH and attach to any session, window or pane. There is no agent to install, no daemon to keep running and no third-party cloud in the middle. If the machine already has sshd and tmux, you are ready to go. BUILT FOR TMUX • Browse every session, window and pane from one list • Switch panes and windows by tapping, not by typing a prefix key • Create, rename and kill sessions and windows • Split panes horizontally or vertically • Resize a window or pane to fit your screen, or let auto-fit choose the font size for you • Deep scrollback with Page Up and Page Down A REAL TERMINAL • Full ANSI color, so vim, htop, lazygit and friends look the way they should • A key row with ESC, TAB, CTRL, ALT, SHIFT and arrows, plus an overlay that shows what you pressed • Multi-line paste that arrives intact • Tuned to stay responsive on slow, high-latency links NEVER LOSE YOUR PLACE • Recent sessions on the dashboard — one tap to get back to what you were doing • MuxPod remembers the last window and pane for each session • The Alerts tab surfaces panes that tmux flagged for bell, activity or silence KEYS AND PASSWORDS, HANDLED • Generate Ed25519 or RSA keys on device, or import ones you already have • Keys, passphrases and passwords are stored in the iOS Keychain • Optional Face ID or Touch ID before a key is used MORE • Browse the remote filesystem: navigate, sort, rename, delete and create folders • Send a photo from your library or camera straight to the server • muxpod:// deep links to jump into a specific session from any app • Light and dark themes, and a terminal font you can tune to your eyes WHAT YOU NEED A machine you can reach over SSH with tmux installed. That is the whole list.
