Attach vs SimBeam

Built for tmux. Built for AI coding agents. Attach is a native tmux client for iOS, made for developers running Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and similar tools on remote machines. Browse sessions, switch windows, inspect panes from a visual layout, and manage everything from a purpose-built interface. Your terminal state stays on the server. Attach gives you a fast, native window into it. Why Attach: - Monitor AI coding sessions on the go - Native tmux session, window, and pane management - Visual pane layouts, quick switcher, and breadcrumb navigation - Smart keyboard with pinned modifiers, trackpad mode, and hardware keyboard support - 20+ terminal themes, including Dracula, Nord, Tokyo Night, Catppuccin, and Rosé Pine - Face ID lock and SSH keys stored securely in Keychain - Notifications for connection events, even in the background - Adaptive polling for responsive updates without unnecessary battery drain - On-demand scrollback history - Paste screenshots from your clipboard directly to your server - Auto-reconnect that picks up where you left off No local terminal emulation. No bloat. Just tmux, natively on iOS.

SimBeam turns your iPhone or iPad into a live remote for the iOS Simulators running on your Mac. Pair the app with your Mac once by scanning a QR code, then connect any time to see all the simulators on that Mac, open any one of them, and watch its screen as a real-time video stream. Your taps, swipes, and the Home button are sent straight back to the simulator, so you can actually use it from your device — not just look at it. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every simulator on a paired Mac, with its iOS version and status • Stream a simulator's screen live, with low latency • Control it remotely — tap, swipe, and press Home • Boot or shut down a simulator right from your device • Jump back into recent simulators in one tap from the main screen • Pair and keep multiple Macs, and switch between them any time BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS AND QA Test how a build feels in the hand without unplugging from your desk. Show a running simulator to a colleague across the room. Keep an eye on a long scenario from the couch. REQUIRES A MAC SimBeam is a companion to the SimBeam app on macOS. You need a Mac running the SimBeam companion with at least one iOS Simulator to pair with and stream from. Pairing is secure and takes a single scan. PRIVACY Your pairing identity stays on your device. SimBeam has no account to create, shows no ads, and does not track you.
