TermOnMac vs Rumskrot Remote

TermOnMac puts your Mac terminal on your iPhone and iPad — through a built-in relay server, zero setup, end-to-end encrypted. FREE TO GET STARTED The free plan lets you connect up to 4 Macs with 4 sessions — perfect for checking builds, running quick commands, and trying out the full experience. VIBE CODING FROM ANYWHERE — JUST $0.99/MO Run Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor sessions for hours from your iPhone or iPad. Pro at $0.99/month gives you the headroom for real AI coding workflows. Heavy users: Premium at $2.99/month is still cheaper than a coffee. SIMPLE, TRANSPARENT PRICING Usage is measured by relay traffic — data sent through the relay including commands, output, heartbeats, and system requests. No hidden fees. You only pay for what you use. RELAY SERVER — WORKS BEHIND ANY FIREWALL No SSH keys. No Tailscale. No port forwarding. No public IP needed. Install the Mac agent, scan a QR code on your iPhone or iPad, and you're connected — even behind corporate firewalls, NATs, or VPNs. BUILT FOR AI CODING AGENTS TermOnMac is a relay terminal — bring your own AI. Run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or any terminal-based tool on your Mac, then control it remotely from your iPhone or iPad. No vendor lock-in, no extra cost — just your tools, from anywhere. NEVER LOSE YOUR SESSION Network switches, device sleep, subway tunnels — your session stays alive. Auto-reconnect picks up right where you left off. Input is buffered while disconnected. SESSION HANDOFF — IPHONE ↔ IPAD ↔ MAC Start a terminal session on your iPhone, continue on your iPad, and pick it up on your Mac — or any direction. Same session, zero interruption. Like Apple Handoff, but for your terminal. TOUCH KEYBOARD — BUILT FOR TERMINAL A custom toolbar above the on-screen keyboard gives you Ctrl, Esc, Tab, arrow keys, and modifier toggles — the keys iOS doesn't have. Search your shortcuts by name and trigger them with a tap. HARDWARE KEYBOARD — FULL CONTROL Connect a Magic Keyboard or any Bluetooth keyboard to your iPad. 12 dedicated shortcuts (⌘⌥ prefix): toggle sidebar, switch sessions, run builds, and more. Full terminal control without touching the screen. CUSTOM SHORTCUTS Create reusable commands as one-tap shortcuts. Build your own mobile developer toolbar. Export as JSON for backup or sharing with teammates. END-TO-END ENCRYPTED Curve25519 key exchange, AES-256-GCM encryption, ephemeral keys for forward secrecy. The relay only forwards ciphertext — it cannot read your terminal content. PLANS • Free — 4 Macs, generous daily usage • Pro ($0.99/mo) — 32 Macs, higher usage limits • Premium ($2.99/mo) — 32 Macs, maximum usage limits Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled 24 hours before the current period ends.

Rumskrot Remote puts your Mac's desktop on your iPhone or iPad, with nothing to install on the Mac. Turn on Screen Sharing in your Mac's System Settings and Rumskrot Remote connects straight to it, using the VNC service macOS already ships with. No helper app, no account, no cloud relay. YOUR MACS, ONE TAP AWAY Macs on your network appear automatically through Bonjour. Save the ones you use, and tap anywhere on a row to connect. THE WHOLE DESKTOP, SMOOTHLY The remote screen is drawn with Metal for a smooth, responsive picture. ZRLE, Hextile and other supported VNC encodings keep bandwidth low, and cursor tracking follows ProMotion on displays that have it. TOUCH THAT FEELS LIKE A TRACKPAD - Drag to move the pointer, tap to click, two-finger tap to right-click - Two-finger drag to scroll, pinch to zoom and pan - Three-finger swipes for Mission Control, App Exposé and jumping between monitors - Haptics confirm clicks, drag lock, modifier keys and monitor jumps EVERY KEY YOUR MAC EXPECTS A bar above the iOS keyboard adds the keys macOS needs and iOS lacks: Esc, Tab, arrow keys, F1–F12, Page Up/Down, Home/End, Forward Delete, Mission Control and App Exposé. Sticky Command, Control, Option and Shift arm with a tap and apply to your next key. Reorder or remove keys to suit you, and let the bar hide itself when a hardware keyboard is connected. Use a hardware keyboard, mouse or trackpad to control your Mac directly. CONNECT YOUR WAY - macOS login, VNC password or Apple Remote Desktop authentication - SSH tunnel for Macs you reach through an SSH server, with host-key verification that refuses to send credentials if the server's identity ever changes - Auto-unlock: opt in per host to type your macOS password after connecting, so you land at the desktop instead of the lock screen - Custom ports, per-host scrolling and a per-host accent colour MORE THAN ONE SCREEN Choose which display to view on a Mac with several monitors, or swipe between them. SNIPPETS Save commands and text you type often and send them to your Mac with a tap. Paste as Keystrokes types text from your device's clipboard into the Mac, including when macOS Screen Sharing does not accept clipboard transfers. SHORTCUTS AND SIRI Connect to a saved Mac and disconnect again from Shortcuts, Siri or Spotlight, so one shortcut can open a session, do its job and close it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Connections go straight from your device to your Mac. Saved passwords are kept in your device's Keychain without iCloud syncing. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. ALSO INCLUDED - Receive clipboard text from your Mac; send clipboard text to compatible VNC servers - Performance modes, including 16-bit colour for slower networks - Live diagnostics overlay: frame rate, latency and bandwidth - Adjustable pointer speed, scroll direction and accent colour - Automatic reconnect when the network drops Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://danskrumskrot.com/privacy
