About

Termcorp

Read full description

Termcorp turns your iPhone and iPad into a window onto the coding agents running on your Mac. Your work lives in tmux, not in the app. Termcorp opens an SSH connection to your Mac (or any server), attaches a persistent tmux session, and mirrors the terminal. Close the app, lose the network, lock your phone - nothing stops. Reopen it, and you're right back where your agent left off. Built for developers and vibe coders who run AI agents in the terminal. WHY TERMCORP - Persistent sessions: your agent runs inside tmux on the Mac. The app is just a viewer; the work never stops. - Session recovery: open the same session on another device; it switches over, resizes, and the other view detaches. - Voice dictation: speak your prompt; it goes straight to the terminal. No copy-paste. - Attachments: photos, screenshots, PDFs and files land in your project, with the path inserted for you. - Built for touch: esc / ctrl / arrow key bar, swipe to scroll history, a keyboard you can tuck away. - Encrypted SSH: connection keys are stored in the iOS Keychain, never in the clear. The app has no servers and collects nothing. WORKS WITH ANY CLI Termcorp is a terminal. It drives whatever runs in it - Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Aider, or a plain shell. FREE ON MAC Termcorp for Mac is a free companion app: a local terminal for your desktop. Termcorp for iPhone adds the mobility - pilot your agents from anywhere. Learn more at terminal.emcorp.io REQUIREMENTS A Mac or server you can reach over SSH, with tmux installed, on your own private network (e.g. Tailscale). SUBSCRIPTION Termcorp is free to download, with a 7-day free trial. Full access then requires a monthly subscription. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage it in your App Store account settings.

About

Kangentic

Read full description

Kangentic Mobile is the companion app for Kangentic, the desktop tool for running coding agent sessions. Pair your phone with your desktop once, then check on your agents, read their progress, answer prompts, and review diffs from wherever you are. Key features: - Live session view: read the agent's transcript as a clean chat feed, or mirror the raw terminal when you need the full picture. - Answer permission prompts and questions the agent raises, right from your phone. - Review file changes with a per-file diff view before they land. - Push notifications when a session needs your attention. - End-to-end encrypted connection between your phone and desktop. No account required, and no Kangentic server ever sees your session content. Kangentic Mobile requires the Kangentic desktop app running on the same network (or reachable through a relay) to pair with.
