Moshroom is a terminal built for how modern developers actually work: everything you need in one app, synced across your devices, ready wherever you are. Connect to the machines you already run over SSH or Mosh, edit their files, brief an AI coding agent, or fire off a quick command from your phone. Your hosts, keys, snippets, and passwords follow you, so whatever you set up on one device is already waiting on the next. BUILT FOR TOUCH Most mobile terminals are a cramped keyboard stapled under a wall of scrollback. Fine for a quick "git pull", but painful the moment you need to type more than a line. Moshroom keeps the terminal as a calm, read-only transcript you just read and scroll, and moves everything you send into UI actually designed for a phone. FEATURES β€’ Quick Connect: land on a fresh shell and a one-tap connect card is already waiting. Pick SSH or Mosh, pick a saved host, and Moshroom types the line for you. β€’ Full-screen composer: room to think. Write long prompts, dictate them, scroll back to fix a word, ride live command and snippet completion, lean on auto bullet lists. Your draft survives if you close it. β€’ Attach files inline: drop a photo, PDF, log, or any text or code file right at your cursor. On send, Moshroom uploads it over SFTP and swaps it for its remote path, so it lands exactly where you meant. Images are downscaled on-device first, and your server needs nothing installed. β€’ Remote file browser: walk a host's folders, preview images and code inline, edit a file right in place, and pull files straight into the Fi β€’ Floating quick-keys: round keys that fire live into a program or TUI. Esc, Tab, Ctrl-C, and an arrow-key mode to nudge around vim or htop. β€’ Tap to copy: long-press any word to grab it, and let a program push text straight to your clipboard over OSC 52. β€’ Tabs: keep every machine in its own tab, each one named after the host it's connected to. β€’ Snippets and iCloud sync: stash the commands you always retype, and keep your hosts and snippets in step across your devices. Moshroom is free and open-source software. Bring your own SSH or Mosh server, and it connects to the machines you already have.
