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 — from the train, the couch, or anywhere your laptop isn't. Built for developers who don't stop working when they leave the desk. — SECURE BY DESIGN — 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. — TMUX THAT SURVIVES ANYTHING — 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 — your work is exactly where you left it. — AI CLI, ONE TAP AWAY — 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. — SEND SCREENSHOTS STRAIGHT TO CLAUDE — Upload images over SFTP directly into your Claude Code conversation. No clipboard tricks, no base64 paste — just pick a photo and go. — A KEYBOARD THAT ACTUALLY WORKS ON MOBILE — Ctrl, Esc, Tab, arrows, function keys, the tmux prefix, one-tap password injection, and custom snippets — all sitting right above the iOS keyboard, where your thumbs can reach them. — GESTURES MADE FOR A PHONE — 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 — it's designed for the device in your hand. — ONE PRICE, FOREVER — 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.

Less checking. More building. Codex Tracker brings your coding agents' usage, limit resets, predictions, and service status together in one place, with push alerts when something changes—so you can keep your attention on turning ideas into working software. ===Know what you have left=== Connect your Codex account to see how much of your 5-hour and weekly limits remains, when each one resets, and how many resets you have available. Link more Codex accounts and other AI services, including Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Grok, Kimi, MiniMax, Z.ai, DeepSeek, and OpenRouter, then swipe between them on the home screen. Your credentials stay on your device. ===Get back to building=== Get notified when a new reset is tracked. Pick up that unfinished feature, revisit a bug, or start your next experiment without repeatedly checking announcements. ===Never get cut off mid-task=== Usage reminders give you a heads-up before a limit resets, right when it does, and when you're about to run out. Choose the levels that matter for each account. ===Know when it's not you=== Follow the public status of every AI service you use. See which products an incident affects, with translated details and recent history, and get alerted for the services that match your accounts. ===Plan your next coding session=== Follow the latest reset predictions to plan your next stretch of focused development. Line up your tasks, prepare your prompts, and get ready for another round of building. ===Your workflow, your notifications=== Choose alerts for new resets, predictions, incidents, or any mix. Filter reset notifications by regular resets, banked resets, or both. Keep the updates that matter to you and leave the rest off. ===See the bigger picture=== Read reset announcements in your preferred language, with the original text one tap away. Explore the reset calendar and statistics, including total tracked resets, average reset intervals, and the longest wait. ===Codex Tracker Pro=== Track as many accounts as you link, see your usage history with a forecast for every limit, and add Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets that show resets and every account's usage at a glance. From your first prototype to your next release, let Codex Tracker keep you posted. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
