TermCOW vs RemoteGate

TermCOW is an SSH terminal for developers, sysadmins, and anyone who wants to do their work anywhere. I originally built it so I could connect to my machine at home running AI coding agents in tmux from my phone. On a phone, it’s usually either tiny unreadable text to fit the whole terminal, or confusing text reflow, flashing, and wrapping when you zoom in. TermCOW uses pan and zoom instead of text reflow, so the terminal stays stable while you work. But if you like text reflow, TermCOW supports that too. All standard SSH features are free, including password/key auth, SFTP, and encrypted credential storage. Features • SSH with password and key auth • SFTP file transfer • Encrypted credential vault • Pan and zoom for a stable desktop-class terminal • Customizable multi-state shortcuts • Port forwarding • Jump host / bastion support • Back up settings to the TermCOW service • Premium jump host service for private IP access Clean, functional, minimal UI that stays out of your way while you do real work with a desktop-class terminal from your phone.

RemoteGate is an SSH terminal app for iPhone and iPad. It was created to solve a common frustration with existing mobile terminal apps: entering Korean and Japanese comfortably in a terminal environment. RemoteGate is designed to make native-language input feel more natural when using both the software keyboard and external hardware keyboards. It is useful when connecting to remote servers for development work, server management, or using AI agents such as Codex and Claude directly from the terminal. When working with AI agents, prompts often need to be written in your native language. RemoteGate helps make that experience smoother on iPhone and iPad, especially for users who frequently enter Korean, Japanese, or other non-English text. RemoteGate is a simple SSH client focused on the essentials. You can add hosts, save authentication keys, choose a terminal theme, and connect quickly to your remote server. You can also configure a script to run automatically when connecting to a host. For example, you can set up a tmux command in advance to automatically attach to an existing session or start a new one when you connect. This makes it easier to manage persistent terminal sessions from a mobile device.
