Termcorp
Read full descriptionHide 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.

Fin is a terminal agent you can talk to. It connects to your computers, reads what is on their screens, and gets work done ā by voice or by text ā from your iPhone or iPad. SSH TERMINALS, DIRECT OR THROUGH THE RELAY ⢠A real terminal: tmux-friendly reconnects, a dedicated key row, custom themes, and an instant resume that has your session on screen when you reopen the app ⢠Connect over SSH straight to your server, or through Fin's relay, which carries the same terminal over HTTPS for computers behind a firewall or on a network where you can't open a port. Nothing to forward, no VPN ⢠SSH keys import from Files or iCloud and are held in the Keychain REMOTE DESKTOP AND REMOTE BROWSER ⢠Watch and control a computer's screen from your phone or iPad: tap, scroll, type, and use modifier keys ⢠Or open just the browser your agent is driving, so you can sign in or approve a two-factor prompt yourself and hand it back ⢠Each session opens behind Face ID or your passcode, and each computer opts in on its own A PERSISTENT AGENT, BY VOICE OR TEXT ⢠Ask by voice: "Ask Fin whether the overnight build finished" ā through Siri, or by dictating in the app. Fin reads the terminal, answers in a sentence, and offers the next step ⢠It keeps working after you put the phone down: it watches long tasks, replies when there is a result, and only interrupts you when a decision needs a human ⢠Run it where you want: Apple's on-device intelligence, Fin's cloud, or any model server you host yourself that speaks the standard chat-completions API (LM Studio, Ollama, vLLM) ⢠Manual mode holds every command for your approval, and a destructive-command guard is always on ⢠It remembers what you teach it, and every run, tool call, and approval is in a trace you can read FILES AND CLIPBOARD ⢠A clipboard manager built for terminal work, and Markdown runbooks that live beside your sessions FIN PRO Try everything free for 14 days. After the trial, Fin Pro is an annual subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Remote Desktop and Remote Browser need Fin's small background service on the computer you want to reach (macOS, with Screen Recording and Accessibility permission for the desktop).

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fin at none against Termcorp's 1. Termcorp's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
