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

Your terminal. Your servers. Wherever you are. Moshroom brings SSH, Mosh, remote files, and your everyday developer tools together on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Connect to the machines you already run, manage a project, work with an AI coding agent on your server, or fire off a quick command from your phone. TYPE YOUR WAY • Direct: type straight into the terminal for commands, shortcuts, and interactive programs. • Composer: write longer prompts in a spacious editor, revise before sending, and add files right where you need them. Your unsent draft stays there when you close it. • Automatic: use Direct with a hardware keyboard and Composer with the on-screen keyboard. Composer is the default. Switch modes in Settings and open the composer whenever you need more room. YOUR REMOTE WORKSPACE • Quick Connect: choose SSH or Mosh and tap a saved host to connect. • Hosts and projects: save a server once, then give each project its own folder, startup command, and tab. Use tmux sessions when available to return to work between connections. • Inline attachments: add a photo, PDF, log, or code file to your message. When you send, Moshroom uploads it over SFTP and inserts its remote path. Images are resized on your device before upload. • Remote files: browse folders, preview images and code, edit files in place, and save copies to Files or Finder over SFTP. • Terminal keys: keep Esc, Tab, Ctrl, and arrow keys close at hand. Use keyboard shortcuts on Mac and with a hardware keyboard. • Copy and paste: select terminal text with touch or a pointer. Compatible remote programs can send text to your clipboard through OSC 52. • Tabs: keep servers, projects, and tools in separate tabs so you can move between tasks. • Saved snippets: keep frequently used commands and prompts ready to insert into the composer. • Passwords and 2FA: keep credentials and verification codes in the built-in vault. • Music: play music stored on your server while you work. ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Enable iCloud sync to bring your hosts, projects, snippets, passwords, and 2FA codes across your devices. Secrets and syncable SSH keys use end-to-end-encrypted iCloud Keychain. Secure Enclave keys stay on the device where they were created. GET STARTED AT YOUR OWN PACE The welcome tour explains hosts, projects, connection options, and typing modes. Reopen it from Settings whenever you need a refresher. BRING YOUR OWN SERVER Moshroom connects to your existing SSH service. Mosh connections also require mosh-server and an allowed UDP port on the server. tmux is optional and can keep sessions running between connections; it is not required to use Mosh. No proprietary Moshroom server agent is needed. Your command-line tools and AI agents run on your own machines. Moshroom is the terminal you use to reach them. Moshroom is open-source software under the GNU GPLv3 license.
