amux vs pocketty

Keep your AI coding agents running while you're away from your desk. amux is the remote control for your AI engineering fleet. Monitor live Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini sessions, approve pending actions, inspect terminal output, coordinate work across agents, and recover from problems directly from your iPhone. Think of it like GitHub Mobile for AI agents: the work happens on your laptop or server, amux puts the control panel in your pocket. WHAT YOU CAN DO FROM YOUR PHONE - Check overnight runs before getting out of bed - Approve permission prompts before agents stall - See exactly why an agent stopped (peek into live terminal output) - Assign a new task to an idle session - Send a steering instruction to redirect an agent mid-run - Monitor your whole fleet at once: status, active tasks, token usage - Manage the kanban board: see what's done, doing, and stuck - Keep coding while traveling BRING YOUR OWN SERVER amux is open source. Run the single-file Python server on your Mac, Linux box, or cloud VM, then connect this app over Tailscale, your LAN, or amux Cloud. Your code and agents never leave your infrastructure. BUILT FOR PARALLEL WORK Instead of babysitting one AI assistant, run a whole fleet. One agent per feature, per bug, per module, all supervised from a single dashboard. Self-healing keeps sessions alive: amux auto-compacts context, restarts on corruption, unblocks stuck prompts, and handles rate limits fleet-wide so your agents keep shipping overnight. TWO ACCESS MODES Native iOS app (this app): SwiftUI with optimized touch targets and full peek panel. Connects to your amux server over Wi-Fi, Tailscale, or the amux cloud tunnel. Progressive Web App: Open your amux dashboard URL in Safari and install to home screen for a full-screen experience without the App Store. REQUIREMENTS - amux server running on Mac or Linux (free, open source: github.com/mixpeek/amux) - Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI installed on your server - Wi-Fi, Tailscale, or amux tunnel for remote access Learn more at amux.io

pocketty is an SSH terminal for iPhone and iPad, made for herdr. Know the moment an agent is blocked or done, and answer it in a real terminal, right from your phone. HERDR, NATIVE • Your herdr workspaces, tabs and Panes show up as a native list, with the live state of each agent: working, needs you, or done. • Open any Pane full screen, at the size of your phone. Lock the phone, and your desk gets it back. • Start a tab or a workspace, rename a tab, or swipe a Pane away. • Works with every agent that herdr knows, including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Gemini CLI. • No herdr? You get a normal login shell, or tmux and zellij with a startup command. SEALED NOTIFICATIONS • Get a notification when an agent is blocked or done. Tap it, and pocketty opens that Pane. • Your computer seals each notification so that only your phone can open it. Our relay passes the sealed bytes to Apple and keeps nothing. • A notification never contains text from your terminal. REVIEW THE WORK • See what an agent changed in its last turn, in its whole session, or since the last commit. • Browse and search the files of any Pane, with code in color. • When a Pane starts a dev server, open it in a preview. The page loads through your SSH connection, with no tunnel to set up. A REAL TERMINAL • Ghostty's terminal engine, drawn with Metal. Agents, editors and TUIs look the way they do on your desk. • Ctrl, Alt, Esc, Tab, arrows, and the symbols that phones hide, right above the keyboard. • Text mode sends a whole message at once. Dictate it, paste a screenshot, send. • Send photos and files from Photos, the camera or Files. pocketty uploads them and types the path. • Nerd Fonts with ligatures, hardware keyboards and the kitty keyboard protocol. YOUR KEYS STAY YOURS • Your SSH key is made in the Secure Enclave. It cannot leave your phone. • Host keys are pinned. If a host key changes, pocketty stops and asks you. • Face ID can lock the App. • Your terminal goes straight to your computers over SSH. It never touches our servers. • No account, no analytics, no ads. CONNECT YOUR WAY • Any SSH server works. We recommend Tailscale: it gives each computer an address that works from anywhere. • Install the free pocketty daemon on your Mac or Linux computer, and add the computer in a minute. You approve your phone on the computer itself, with a code. • pocketty checks the connection every five seconds, and reconnects by itself when it drops. PRICE Everything works free for 14 days. Then one purchase keeps it, with every future update. No subscription. Nothing is charged when the trial ends.
