About

SuperDuper Terminal

Features
Read full description

SuperDuper Terminal is a small, fast SSH client for iPhone, built for the way people actually work with a remote box from a phone: check on a long-running job, restart a service, answer a prompt from an agent that is still running. WHAT IT DOES • Full SSH terminal with a real PTY — colours, cursor keys, everything a shell expects • tmux sessions by default, so closing the app or losing signal does not kill your work; reconnect and you are exactly where you left off • Multiple servers and multiple live sessions, switchable from a tab strip • A keyboard row built for the command line: Esc, Ctrl, Tab, arrows, pipe and slash — the keys iOS hides from you • Ed25519, ECDSA and RSA keys generated on device and stored in the Keychain, protected by Face ID • Port forwarding for the times you need a remote port on your phone KEYS STAY ON THE DEVICE Private keys are generated on the iPhone and kept in the Keychain, guarded by Face ID or your passcode. They are never uploaded, never synced to us, and there is no account to create. The app talks to your servers and to nobody else — there is no analytics SDK and no backend of ours in the path. BUILT FOR WORKING WITH CODING AGENTS If you run Claude Code or a similar agent on a VPS, the terminal keeps the session alive under tmux and gives you a one-tap way to answer it from your phone. The accessory row includes shortcuts for the keys those tools ask for most. Open source: github.com/fortunto2/swift-terminal

About

Orquesta

Features
Read full description

Orquesta is the companion app for the Orquesta platform. It puts the projects you already run from getorquesta.com in your pocket, so you can see what your coding agents are doing without opening a laptop. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Projects — every project in your organization, with its agent's live online status and last heartbeat. • Prompts — the full history of what has been asked of each agent, with status, model, cost and the git branch and commit the work landed on. Queue a new one from the project screen. • Live logs — open any prompt and follow the agent's timeline as it runs: reasoning, tool calls, tool results and output. • Sessions — attach to an agent's interactive session and drive it from the phone: a live terminal with a key bar for esc, tab, arrows and ^C, so you can answer a prompt that is blocking the work instead of finding it stalled hours later. • Team chat — the same channels and threads as the dashboard. Mention a teammate, or address the agent by its @handle and it picks the message up. • Activity — one feed across every project, so you can see the whole organization at a glance. • Inbox — billing, team, deployment and system notifications, markable as read. • Star and tag prompts to keep the ones worth coming back to. SIGNING IN This app is for people who already use Orquesta. It needs an existing Orquesta organization — you cannot create an account from the app. Signing in opens getorquesta.com in your browser to authorize the device, and the resulting token is stored in the device's own secure credential store. You can revoke it at any time from Settings, which deletes the local copy and invalidates it on the server. Other devices keep working. Settings also links to account deletion, which permanently closes your Orquesta account and the data it owns. GOOD TO KNOW Agents run on your own machines, not on your phone. A prompt you queue is picked up by the agent on its next heartbeat, then runs for as long as the work takes — this is asynchronous by design, not a live chat with a model. If a machine is offline, the work waits for it to come back. Interactive sessions are the exception: those are live, and they show what happens from the moment you attach rather than what already scrolled past. The app reads your organization's data and can queue prompts, star and tag them, post to team chat, and mark notifications read. It does not have broad write access to your projects.
