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 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.

When you are away from your desk, Redock helps you reconnect to your own SSH host, return to the right project check what is running, and send the next command or prompt without opening your laptop. - When to use it When you are outside, on the couch, or in bed, you can use your phone to check a remote session, steer a coding agent, or continue a task. Redock helps you reach the dev environment you already use and keep work moving. - Why it is different Projects and Actions reduce repeated typing and get you back to tasks faster. A dedicated Agent Chat View makes reading replies and sending prompts feel like chatting. Agent notifications track task progress; usage queries support custom providers and data sources.
