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.

MoCode

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.
