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.

Vibe42 is your pocket terminal-first workspace. Connect your phone directly to your computer to run coding agents, review diffs, and control terminals on the go โ€” zero config, zero lock-in. Pair once, and your Mac, Linux box or work desktop is a tap away: real terminals, your files, your tools - running where they belong. WHAT YOU GET - Real terminals, not a toy shell. Full PTY, 256 colours, and sessions that keep running when you close the app or lose signal. - Pick up where you left off. Sessions survive network changes, backgrounding and device switches: start on your laptop, continue on your phone. - Your files at hand. Browse, preview and edit the files on your computer. - Built for touch keyboards. A command bar, arrow and modifier keys, and gestures that make a terminal genuinely usable on a phone. - Many computers, one app. Group them into workspaces and jump between them. SECURITY - End-to-end encrypted. Traffic is encrypted between your device and your computer; our network can route packets but cannot read them. - Pairing, not passwords. Every device is authorized explicitly and can be revoked from any other device at any time. - Your work stays yours. We do not store your terminal output, your files or your commands, and we never use them to train models. HOW IT WORKS Install the free Vibe42 companion on the computer you want to reach, pair this device once, and you are connected. Direct peer-to-peer where the network allows it, relayed when it does not - the app switches automatically. Terms of Service: https://vibe42.ai/terms Privacy Policy: https://vibe42.ai/privacy
