Remote terminal access for AI coding agents. Manage Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Qwen, and OpenClaw sessions from your phone and Apple Watch. • Sending messages to and receiving output from remote AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw)* • Cross agents aduit, review, plan, brainstorm, or discuss • Viewing live terminal output from remote development sessions • Browsing and edit remote project files, uploading files or photos from the device, downloading files from the server • Viewing repository information and file changes (git diffs) • Running and monitoring multiple agents in parallel • Receiving push notifications when agents complete tasks or need attention • Voice input for hands-free interaction • Biometric authentication with Face ID / Touch ID • Multi-server dashboard — manage agents across all your machines • Self-hostable — deploy the open-source server on your own infrastructure IM.codes is a developer tool — not an AI service. A daemon runs on your dev machine and manages terminal sessions through tmux. This app connects via WebSocket for real-time remote access, the same way an SSH client works. AI agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) are third-party tools that you install and authenticate independently on your own machines. The relay server is fully open source under MIT. Self-host for production use, or try the demo at app.im.codes. Source: github.com/im4codes/imcodes

Your computers, in your pocket. terminALL connects your iPhone and iPad to your Linux, Windows and Mac machines: terminal, files, live desktop and remote control in one app. If you left something running when you walked out the door — a build, a backup, a long script or a coding agent — you can check on it and keep going from your phone. Your sessions live on the computer: close the app, lose the connection, the work keeps running and picks up exactly where you left it. TERMINAL • Persistent sessions: tmux on Linux and Mac, a persistent PowerShell on Windows • Switch, rename and open sessions on the computer with one tap • A key bar built for a terminal: Ctrl, Alt, arrows, Esc, Tab and keys you add • Snippets: type the commands you use often with one tap • Eight themes, adjustable font and size FILES • Browse, download, upload, rename and delete over SFTP • Preview photos, video, PDF and text • Adds itself to the iOS Files app as a location: your server shows up as a folder on your phone and opens from other apps too SCREEN AND CONTROL • Watch your computer's desktop live (hardware-encoded H.264/HEVC) • Your taps become the mouse; the keyboard is in the same app • Resolution, frame rate and bitrate are yours to set • Linux, Windows and Mac POWER • Sleep, restart, shut down, hibernate • Wake a powered-off computer over the network; if your phone is on another network, another computer that is awake relays the packet CONNECTION AND SECURITY • Generate, import and install SSH keys; lock them with Face ID or Touch ID • Port forwarding (ssh -L / ssh -R) and agent forwarding • A second address is found on its own for when you are away from home • Finds the computers on your local network PRIVACY No account, no sign-up, no servers of ours. The connection is between your device and your own computer; passwords and keys stay in your device's secure enclave. We collect no telemetry. If you want, your servers, keys and settings carry over to your other Apple devices through iCloud — still with no account and no extra cost. SUPPORTED SYSTEMS Linux, Windows 10/11 and macOS. The same app on iPhone and iPad, with sidebar navigation and a full-width terminal on the big screen. MEMBERSHIP Connecting requires a membership; the first 7 days are free. • Monthly — $2.99 • Yearly — $14.99 • Lifetime (one-time purchase) — $24.99 Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
