Tmux Term turns your iPhone into a real terminal. SSH into your servers, attach to tmux sessions that never die, and run AI coding agents โ from the train, the couch, or anywhere your laptop isn't. Built for developers who don't stop working when they leave the desk. โ SECURE BY DESIGN โ Password and private-key auth (ed25519, RSA). Host keys are pinned on first connect to stop man-in-the-middle attacks. Every credential lives in the iOS Keychain and never leaves your device. No accounts on our servers, no telemetry on your sessions. โ TMUX THAT SURVIVES ANYTHING โ Attach to long-running sessions, switch windows, and scroll back through history. Drop a connection in a tunnel? Tmux Term reconnects and reattaches the moment you're back โ your work is exactly where you left it. โ AI CLI, ONE TAP AWAY โ Launch Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, or Nmap instantly and resume sessions where you stopped. The remote agents you already use, now driven from your phone. โ SEND SCREENSHOTS STRAIGHT TO CLAUDE โ Upload images over SFTP directly into your Claude Code conversation. No clipboard tricks, no base64 paste โ just pick a photo and go. โ A KEYBOARD THAT ACTUALLY WORKS ON MOBILE โ Ctrl, Esc, Tab, arrows, function keys, the tmux prefix, one-tap password injection, and custom snippets โ all sitting right above the iOS keyboard, where your thumbs can reach them. โ GESTURES MADE FOR A PHONE โ Two-finger scroll through terminal history. Side buttons for tmux copy-mode. Toggle mouse mode with a single tap. This isn't a desktop client squeezed onto a screen โ it's designed for the device in your hand. โ ONE PRICE, FOREVER โ Try everything free for 7 days. Then unlock it all with a single purchase. No subscriptions, no upsells, no ads. Future updates included. Tmux Term is a purpose-built SSH and tmux client. You'll need a server you own or have permission to access.

MoCode puts your tmux workspace in your pocket. Any CLI coding tool that runs in a tmux session - OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex CLI, pi, or a plain shell - can be picked up, watched, and steered from your iPhone. Use MoCode to: - See your running tmux sessions and windows in one place. - Open a live terminal for any window; tasks keep running after you leave. - Start new tmux windows when you need a fresh workspace. - Switch between sessions and windows without losing remote context. - Review terminal history to catch up, then jump back to Live. - Get optional notifications when a task finishes or needs your approval. - Send feedback with a screenshot. MoCode connects to your own tmux gateway. Nothing runs on the phone: no local compiler and no hosted IDE. Your sessions keep running on your server; MoCode is the focused mobile view into them.

Verdict
