Telecmux is a focused iOS remote for cmux — 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: • See every workspace, pane, and pending agent notification at a glance • Read live terminal output, with highlighting for diffs, status lines, and prompts • Answer agent prompts in one tap with the soft-key ribbon (1 / 2 / delete / return / Esc) • Send free text or dictate by voice (on-device speech recognition) • 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.
