About

Mossh

Read full description

Mossh is an SSH terminal optimized for Codex, Claude Code, and remote AI coding workflows on iPhone. Connect to your remote development machine, attach to tmux, and keep long-running coding agent sessions available when you step away from your desk. Mossh is built for terminal-heavy work where readable diffs, logs, prompts, and command output matter. Save your SSH hosts, connect with a password or a generated key, and work in a terminal designed for mobile AI coding sessions. Mossh keeps the core workflow direct: open a host, trust the server key, continue your Codex or Claude Code session, paste safely, and get back to work. What you can do: - Save SSH host profiles with host, port, username, authentication method, TERM, startup directory, and tmux settings. - Connect with password authentication or an Ed25519 key generated and stored on your device. - Verify host keys before trusting a new or changed server. - Keep Codex, Claude Code, and shell sessions ready with tmux-friendly defaults. - Switch between multiple remote coding tabs and reconnect when needed. - Use readable terminal themes for code diffs, logs, prompts, and agent output. - Send common commands from a customizable terminal command panel. - Upload selected images or videos to the active SSH session and paste the remote file path. Mossh Pro is a one-time purchase. It unlocks unlimited hosts, up to 10 terminal tabs, unlimited custom commands, media upload, and the full terminal theme collection. The free version includes the core SSH workflow with limited hosts and one active terminal tab. Mossh does not include ads, analytics, or third-party tracking. Host profiles stay on your device, and passwords and generated private keys are stored in the iOS Keychain.

Remote Terminal turns your iPhone or iPad into a remote control for a computer you already own. Pair with a quick QR scan from the desktop agent, then run a full interactive shell, browse folders, and transfer files—without leaving your couch or office. HOW IT WORKS • Install the Remote Terminal desktop agent on your computer. • Open the app on your device and scan the QR code shown on the desktop monitor. • Choose Terminal to access your system's native shell—or open Files to browse and transfer items on the desktop. TERMINAL • Live command output with a phone-friendly keyboard and shortcuts. • Reconnect after sleep, travel, or network changes; your session can stay reserved on the host computer. • Select your preferred command-line environment before you connect. FILES • Browse allowed folders on the desktop (you can configure which folders to share). • Download files to your phone and upload from your device when the desktop agent allows it. SECURITY YOU CONTROL • Optional join password on the desktop—required for session-ID pairing when enabled. • Pairing uses your own backend or our hosted service; the desktop agent must be running and online. • Camera access is only used to scan QR codes. REQUIREMENTS • A Remote Terminal desktop agent running on the computer you want to control. • Network access between your device and the pairing server (local network or internet, depending on your setup). Remote Terminal is built for owners and power users who want real shell access from mobile—not a simplified fake terminal. Download the desktop agent from our site or GitHub releases, then connect with this app.
