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

About

Moshpit

Read full description

Your coding agents don't stop when you stand up. Moshpit is the terminal that lets you answer them from anywhere — a lock-screen alert the moment an agent needs you that drops you into the pane that asked, a glance at Claude Code or Codex from the Dynamic Island, and a brand-new isolated task started from your phone. A REAL TERMINAL FIRST • SSH and Mosh — sessions that survive Wi-Fi/5G handoffs, sleep, and bad hotel networks • tmux control mode: native rendering, swipe between windows and panes, create/rename/kill — no tiny fake desktop squeezed onto a phone • herdr support: the multiplexer built for coding agents, rendered one full-width pane at a time • iPad: hosts on the left, the terminal on the right, tmux pickers as popovers • Hardware-keyboard friendly — ⌘K, ⌘1–⌘9, ⌘W on iPad — custom themes, seven terminal fonts, nine Liquid Glass icons BUILT FOR AGENT WORK • See every agent at a glance: who needs you, who's working, for how long • Needs-you pings on the lock screen, sealed end to end and delivered even with the app closed — tap one and you are in the pane that asked • Start an agent on a fresh git worktree from your phone: pick a repo, name a branch, optionally hand it the first prompt • Agent status needs ZERO host-side setup on herdr; a one-line hook install on tmux HONEST BY DESIGN • One-time purchase. No subscription, no accounts, no feature tiers. • Nothing is collected. No analytics, no tracking — your keys stay in the iOS Keychain on your device and your traffic goes only to your own servers. • Moshpit never installs anything on your host silently, never creates sessions behind your back, and tells you when it degrades instead of quietly switching transports. Works with any SSH server. Mosh, tmux and herdr are optional — install guides are built in.
