Telecmux is a focused iOS remote for cmux โ€” the native macOS terminal built for AI coding agents. Run Claude Code (and other agents) in parallel on your Mac, then reach back to them from your phone: โ€ข See every workspace, pane, and pending agent notification at a glance โ€ข Read live terminal output, with highlighting for diffs, status lines, and prompts โ€ข Answer agent prompts in one tap with the soft-key ribbon (1 / 2 / delete / return / Esc) โ€ข Send free text or dictate by voice (on-device speech recognition) โ€ข Switch between workspaces without touching your Mac Connects over SSH using key authentication. Your private keys stay in the iOS Keychain and never leave your device. Host configuration syncs across your devices via iCloud Drive. Requires a Mac running cmux 0.64+ with socket automation enabled. Not a general-purpose terminal โ€” built specifically for the parallel-AI-agent workflow.

WHAT YOU CAN DO โ€ข Live agent conversations โ€” follow tool calls, plans, and diffs as they happen โ€ข Warp-style terminal blocks โ€” run commands and read the output โ€ข Approve, deny, or answer your agents from anywhere โ€ข Start new agents (Claude Code, Codex, and more), shells, or git worktrees โ€ข Search your history and resume past sessions โ€ข Instant Home from a cached snapshot, even before the link reconnects PRIVATE BY DESIGN Linea connects peer-to-peer straight to your Mac โ€” your code and conversations never touch our servers.
