Muxly vs Tailscode

Native tmux for iPhone and iPad, optimized for AI coding agents running on your host. Muxly is a native tmux client that makes you forget you're inside tmux. Your tmux windows become tabs, panes are a tap away, and scrolling is smooth and native. Your sessions keep running on your server when you close the app or lose connection, and an encrypted bell notification can reach you when a build finishes or an agent needs you. TMUX, FULLY INTEGRATED • Create, rename, reorder, and close real tmux windows from a native tab strip. • Switch panes with the iPhone pane picker or work with your tmux layout on iPad. • Resume your last session, choose an existing one, or start fresh. • Switch sessions over a live connection. • Your tmux prefix and shortcuts work as usual, including with a hardware keyboard. • Return to the same server sessions from your other tmux clients. THE BELL FOLLOWS YOU Step away while your work runs. When a program rings the terminal bell, optional push notifications can reach you even after Muxly closes and SSH disconnects. Configure builds, scripts, or coding agents to ring when they finish or need input. Notification content is end-to-end encrypted. FILES AND EDITING • Browse and manage remote files over SFTP. • Upload from Files or Photos, download to Files, and save supported photos and videos to Photos. • Edit code and configuration files with built-in syntax highlighting. • Keep your file browser and unsaved edits available while switching terminal tabs. • Share photos and screenshots with coding agents in just a few taps. A TERMINAL MADE FOR TOUCH • GPU-accelerated rendering and momentum scrolling. • Precise text selection, copy and paste, and terminal search. • A customizable keyboard toolbar with shortcuts, snippets, sticky modifiers, arrows, and F1–F12. • Hardware keyboard support. • Editable voice dictation on iOS and iPadOS 26 or later. • 12 monospace fonts, 4 themes, adjustable text size, and up to a million lines of scrollback. DIRECT SSH TO YOUR HOSTS • Password and Ed25519 key authentication. • Generate or import Ed25519 keys, or create Secure Enclave keys protected by Face ID or Touch ID. • Local, remote, and dynamic SOCKS port forwarding. • Host key verification, startup commands, environment variables, and keep-alive settings. • App Lock with Face ID or Touch ID. No Muxly account, ads, or tracking. SSH traffic goes directly to your servers. Credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain; Secure Enclave private keys stay on the device. FULL ACCESS Connecting requires a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. You can start for free with a two-week free trial. REQUIREMENTS iOS or iPadOS 18 or later and an SSH server. Native tmux integration requires tmux 3.2 or later on the server. Optional bell notifications also require openssl, curl, and outbound HTTPS. Plain SSH works without tmux. Terms of Use: https://muxly.sh/terms Privacy Policy: https://muxly.sh/privacy

Send a prompt to Claude Code, opencode or Oh My Pi from your phone, pocket it, and watch the turn finish on your Lock Screen. Approve the risky command, answer the agent's question, read the diff — over your own Tailscale network, with no relay, no account and no analytics. Free and open source. TRY IT BEFORE YOU WIRE ANYTHING A built-in demo walks every screen with sample conversations. No server needed. WHAT YOU NEED A Mac or Linux machine on your tailnet (Tailscale is free for personal use) running one of your agents: opencode, Claude Code through the open-source claude-bridge, or Oh My Pi through the open-source omp-bridge. Set-up is three verified steps. THE TURN, LIVE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN • A Live Activity per conversation: what it is doing, for how long, and how many tools it has run. • An approval request alerts you; a finished turn lingers with its outcome. Tap to land in the exact chat. • Updates arrive by push while the app is suspended. A NATIVE TRANSCRIPT, NOT A TERMINAL • Streaming text written at the model's own speed, with thinking and tool runs folded into readable groups. • Diffs, commands and their real output inline; syntax-highlighted code with byte-exact copy. • Allow once, always, or deny without leaving the chat. Agent questions become tappable cards, and a failed turn says what happened and offers to try again. • One quiet row of facts — context, spend, branch, agents out — that steps aside when there is nothing to say. • Queue the next message while a turn runs, edit it before it goes, or stop the turn on the server. • Every picture the agent hands you, in a gallery you can zoom, save or share. EVERY MACHINE ON ONE BOARD • All your servers' conversations in one list, live status first, grouped by project. • Read the repository before you trust the change: branch, staged, changed, untracked, and the diff of any file. • Subagents dock inside the turn that spawned them; a compaction is drawn as a seam with what it kept. • Slash commands from the server's own catalog, per-message model and reasoning effort, forking. KNOW WHAT IT COSTS • Every conversation priced, every month totalled across machines — by model, project and tool. • Plan limits and quotas for Claude, Grok, Ollama Cloud, DeepSeek and more, on Home and in a widget. PICTURES AND CLIPS, ON YOUR OWN MACHINE • Describe an image or a short clip in words; it renders on your own machine and arrives in the app. HAND OFF THE ROUTINE WORK (BETA) • A cheaper model tries first and a verifier decides. Nothing lands until it passes. YOURS, END TO END • Point-to-point over your tailnet. No relay servers, no account, no analytics, nobody reading your code. • Programmatic UIKit, Swift 6, Liquid Glass on iOS 26. Eight themes, dark mode, Dynamic Type, haptics. • Open source under GPL-3.0 — the app, the engine, and both bridges. FREE, WITH AN HONEST PRO The free app is the complete core: one server, full chat, approvals, attachments, models, forking, and Live Activities. Tailscode Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription: multiple saved servers, concurrent Live Activities, the delegate board, and a supporter badge.
