Your coding agents don't stop when you stand up. Moshpit is the terminal that lets you answer them from anywhere β€” a lock-screen alert the moment an agent needs you that drops you into the pane that asked, a glance at Claude Code or Codex from the Dynamic Island, and a brand-new isolated task started from your phone. A REAL TERMINAL FIRST β€’ SSH and Mosh β€” sessions that survive Wi-Fi/5G handoffs, sleep, and bad hotel networks β€’ tmux control mode: native rendering, swipe between windows and panes, create/rename/kill β€” no tiny fake desktop squeezed onto a phone β€’ herdr support: the multiplexer built for coding agents, rendered one full-width pane at a time β€’ iPad: hosts on the left, the terminal on the right, tmux pickers as popovers β€’ Hardware-keyboard friendly β€” ⌘K, ⌘1β€“βŒ˜9, ⌘W on iPad β€” custom themes, seven terminal fonts, nine Liquid Glass icons BUILT FOR AGENT WORK β€’ See every agent at a glance: who needs you, who's working, for how long β€’ Needs-you pings on the lock screen, sealed end to end and delivered even with the app closed β€” tap one and you are in the pane that asked β€’ Start an agent on a fresh git worktree from your phone: pick a repo, name a branch, optionally hand it the first prompt β€’ Agent status needs ZERO host-side setup on herdr; a one-line hook install on tmux HONEST BY DESIGN β€’ One-time purchase. No subscription, no accounts, no feature tiers. β€’ Nothing is collected. No analytics, no tracking β€” your keys stay in the iOS Keychain on your device and your traffic goes only to your own servers. β€’ Moshpit never installs anything on your host silently, never creates sessions behind your back, and tells you when it degrades instead of quietly switching transports. Works with any SSH server. Mosh, tmux and herdr are optional β€” install guides are built in.
