TermOnMac puts your Mac terminal on your iPhone and iPad โ€” 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 โ€” perfect for checking builds, running quick commands, and trying out the full experience. VIBE CODING FROM ANYWHERE โ€” 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 โ€” data sent through the relay including commands, output, heartbeats, and system requests. No hidden fees. You only pay for what you use. RELAY SERVER โ€” 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 โ€” even behind corporate firewalls, NATs, or VPNs. BUILT FOR AI CODING AGENTS TermOnMac is a relay terminal โ€” 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 โ€” just your tools, from anywhere. NEVER LOSE YOUR SESSION Network switches, device sleep, subway tunnels โ€” your session stays alive. Auto-reconnect picks up right where you left off. Input is buffered while disconnected. SESSION HANDOFF โ€” IPHONE โ†” IPAD โ†” MAC Start a terminal session on your iPhone, continue on your iPad, and pick it up on your Mac โ€” or any direction. Same session, zero interruption. Like Apple Handoff, but for your terminal. TOUCH KEYBOARD โ€” BUILT FOR TERMINAL A custom toolbar above the on-screen keyboard gives you Ctrl, Esc, Tab, arrow keys, and modifier toggles โ€” the keys iOS doesn't have. Search your shortcuts by name and trigger them with a tap. HARDWARE KEYBOARD โ€” FULL CONTROL Connect a Magic Keyboard or any Bluetooth keyboard to your iPad. 12 dedicated shortcuts (โŒ˜โŒฅ 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 โ€” it cannot read your terminal content. PLANS โ€ข Free โ€” 4 Macs, generous daily usage โ€ข Pro ($0.99/mo) โ€” 32 Macs, higher usage limits โ€ข Premium ($2.99/mo) โ€” 32 Macs, maximum usage limits Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled 24 hours before the current period ends.
