Never miss an AI agent prompt again. Ever stepped away from your Mac, checked your phone, and realized Claude Code had been waiting for you to approve a change for 20 minutes? That's the frustration MT fixes. MT - Mosh Terminal is the mobile companion for AI coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex, running in tmux or Herdr. The moment an agent needs input, a push notification reaches your iPhone. Tap it — MT instantly resumes the exact tmux session over rock-solid Mosh. With Herdr, you can also see every agent at a glance and jump straight to the one that is waiting. Not just SSH — a pro terminal for mobile developers. With an external keyboard, iPad becomes a Mac-level terminal experience.
