Your AI coding agents, within reach of any screen. QuickTUI is the iPhone and iPad app for your own computer or server. Kick off Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or any long-running terminal job — then walk away. Your session stays live on your machine, and your phone tells you the moment an agent needs you. Free for one server, with a direct connection by default — your code never touches our servers. KNOW WHEN AN AGENT NEEDS YOU — NEW Get notified as soon as an agent asks for approval or has a question. Choose which notifications you get and what they show. CHAT WITH YOUR AGENTS — NEW A full chat mode with Markdown rendering. Approve actions and answer questions without opening the terminal, and filter sessions by status. LAUNCH ANY AGENT IN ONE TAP The Agent Wizard starts Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok, Gemini, Cursor, Kimi, Qoder, or Pi in the folder you pick, with saved model and effort presets. EVERY SESSION AT A GLANCE One tree of workspaces, windows, and panes, with each agent's live status: working, idle, blocked, or done. Works with tmux or Herdr on Mac and Linux, and with Herdr on Windows. REACH IN FROM ANYWHERE Your agent hit a confirm prompt while you're on the subway. Attach, approve, detach — 10 seconds. No public IP or port forwarding? Connect through QuickTUI Cloud, with a free monthly data allowance for every account. BUILT FOR THE TERMINAL Up to three shortcut bars, a movable D-pad, and a command palette with ready-made commands for popular agents, git, and tmux. Attach images, search your clipboard history, pinch to zoom, and select and copy with ease. VoiceOver can read the terminal. FILES, PORTS, AND PREVIEWS Browse, preview, and transfer files. Forward a listening port in a tap and check your dev server in the built-in browser. Previews open in floating windows. The file browser stays off until you enable it; on macOS the server may then need Files & Folders or Full Disk Access. 50 TERMINAL THEMES Catppuccin, Tokyo Night, Gruvbox, Dracula, Nord, Rose Pine, and more, with separate light and dark themes that follow your system. SETUP IN MINUTES Connect over SSH and QuickTUI installs its server and pairs for you, with a password or an SSH key. Or install the server with one line from https://quicktui.ai, then scan the QR code or paste the pairing text. Direct SSH profiles work with no server at all. FREE TO USE, PRO FOR MORE Free for one server, with every feature included. QuickTUI Pro, a one-time purchase, unlocks unlimited server profiles. QuickTUI Cloud is optional.

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.
