Run AI agents from your phone. A real terminal with a real keyboard, in your pocket. Mobitty is a touch-first SSH terminal built for AI-agent workflows on iOS. You bring the server — self-hosted, behind SSH, Tailscale, or Cloudflare — and Mobitty brings the parts the browser can't: a native on-screen terminal keyboard, multi-URL server rotation, gesture shortcuts, and touch-friendly selection with a magnifier loupe. MADE FOR AI AGENTS A dedicated Claude Code layout. A remote editor that handles Ctrl-G and long multi-line prompts mid-stream. Paste an image straight from the camera roll into the agent's context — your phone becomes the AI-agent dashboard. SESSIONS THAT FOLLOW YOU Sessions live on your server, not your phone. Reattach from mobile or desktop, survive LTE↔Wi-Fi handoffs and subway tunnels. Mobitty's adaptive transport keeps the line open with frugal data usage. A REAL KEYBOARD Readline · Tmux · Vim · Claude Code layouts out of the box. Drag-arrange your own grid, and bind any chord or sequence — Ctrl-Shift-X, a tmux prefix followed by a pane move, Esc :wq Enter — to a single tap. Hardware keyboard paired? Mobitty hides the softkey bar automatically. MULTI-SERVER, MULTI-URL Save Production, staging, and lab boxes once. Each server can list several URLs — LAN, Tailscale, public hostname — probed in parallel until one connects. Drag to reorder, swipe to delete. TOUCH-FIRST, FROM SCROLL TO SELECTION 1:1 momentum scrolling that doesn't fight the terminal renderer. Long-press a word to select, drag iOS handles, and a magnifier loupe rides above your finger so you can land the boundary on the right character — in plain shells and in alt-buffer apps like tmux, vim, and less. SETTINGS THAT MATCH THE DESKTOP Four tabs — General · Softkeys · Gestures · Themes — share the same profile model as the desktop client. Bind 1-finger swipes and flicks to your most-used keys. Edit ANSI palette colors live. BUILT FOR iOS A 3-finger long-press surfaces a quick menu. A right-edge swipe pulls in the native server list. A left-edge swipe opens the session list. iOS 17+, Apple silicon. Source-available · Self-hosted · No telemetry. Your terminal stays on your network.
