A tmux-first mobile terminal built for the Agent Age. You're running coding agents and long-lived sessions on real servers — and you want to check in, steer them, and unblock them from your phone. TermRover is an SSH terminal designed for exactly that: first-class tmux, plus two things you won't find in most mobile terminals — send images straight to your agents, and talk to them by voice. DRIVE TMUX WITH YOUR THUMBS • Quick Row — fire Tab, Esc, Ctrl, arrows and the other keys agents need, without hunting through the keyboard • Switch tmux sessions and windows in a single tap • Scroll back through history by touch, with native mouse-mode support • A terminal actually built for a touchscreen — not a desktop one bolted onto a phone SHOW YOUR AGENT WHAT YOU SEE • Attach a screenshot or photo and hand it straight to the agent in your session • Ideal for design feedback, error screens, diagrams — anything faster to show than to type TALK TO YOUR AGENT, HANDS-FREE • Dictate prompts by voice; the transcript drops straight into the composer, ready to send • Describe what you want while you're away from the keyboard CONNECT SECURELY • Standard SSH — password and OpenSSH key (Ed25519/RSA) authentication • Host-key verification on first connect (trust-on-first-use), so you always know which server you're talking to • Manage multiple hosts and jump back into your work in seconds FREE TO USE, PRO WHEN YOU NEED IT Everything you need to connect and work is free — full SSH, full tmux, and a daily allowance of voice dictation and image attaches. TermRover Pro lifts those daily limits (unlimited voice, unlimited image-to-agent) and unlocks the full theme set, via an optional annual subscription (with a 7-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. A subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Your keys and credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain. TermRover collects no personal data for tracking. More information: https://termrover.sh Guide: https://termrover.sh/guide.html Privacy policy: https://termrover.sh/privacy.html

KKCode is the mobile client for OpenCode — the AI coding agent that runs on your Mac. Connect to your local OpenCode server over Wi-Fi or Tailscale, and bring AI-powered coding assistance wherever you go. FEATURES • Multiple AI Models — Switch freely between DeepSeek, Zhipu, Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax, and any model supported by your OpenCode server. Model preferences are remembered per session and persist across conversations. • Streaming Responses — Responses stream in real time. Scroll freely while the AI is generating; KKCode keeps your position and never interrupts your reading experience. • Code & Markdown Rendering — Enjoy full syntax highlighting for code blocks, inline formatting, and rich markdown display. • Tool Call Transparency — See exactly which tools the AI invoked, review file changes, and inspect inputs and outputs for every tool call. • Image Attachment — Send screenshots or design mockups directly from your photo library. • Session Management — Organize conversations by project directory. Rename, swipe to delete, or bulk remove sessions whenever you need. • Split View Support — Keep your session list and active chat side by side for a desktop-class multitasking experience. • Offline-Safe Draft — Your unfinished messages are automatically saved per session and restored when you return. • Multi-language Support — English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Deutsch, Français, Português, Русский. • Dark & Light Mode — Automatically follows your system appearance. HOW IT WORKS KKCode connects to the OpenCode server running on your Mac. Start the server with: opencode serve –hostname 0.0.0.0 –port 4096 Then add your server connection in KKCode and start chatting. For remote access outside your home network, Tailscale is recommended. KKCode requires an OpenCode server to function. It does not include built-in AI inference or AI models.
