Your computer runs the AI. Your phone runs the show. Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex ā today's development happens on your machine, driven by AI agents. Termixa puts them in your pocket: start the work, answer their questions, approve their plans, and see what they build ā live, from anywhere. TWO PARTS, ONE SETUP Termixa is a pair. This app is the remote control; the free Termixa Connector runs on your computer (macOS, Windows, or Linux ā download at termixa.com/download). Open the Connector, scan its QR code with your phone, and you're connected. No port forwarding, no VPN, no SSH keys. EVERY AI, ONE COMMAND CENTER - A real terminal on your computer, rendered beautifully on your phone - Up to six workspaces side by side ā Claude in one tab, Gemini in another - Quick commands: save the ones you use daily, run them with one tap - Works across networks: home Wi-Fi, office, LTE ā your session follows you SEE WHAT YOUR AI BUILDS - Web apps: open your localhost dev server in the built-in viewer ā frontend and backend API ports both work, nothing gets published anywhere - Mobile apps (NEW): run the React Native / Expo app you're building NATIVELY on this phone or iPad, over the secure tunnel ā even on a different network. Save a file on your computer and the preview reloads by itself. Works with Expo SDK 56 projects using Termixa's bundled native modules; custom native modules aren't supported. BUILT FOR iPAD A full dev studio: terminal and AI on the left, your running app docked on the right. Rotate freely, toggle the preview to full screen with one tap. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE Everything travels end-to-end encrypted, directly between your devices. Zero-trust port model: nothing on your computer is reachable unless you open it ā and you can end the session from either side. We store nothing. FREE AND PRO The free plan gives you a real remote terminal with a workspace and a port. Termixa Pro unlocks six workspaces, twenty ports, the native mobile app preview, and sessions with no time limits. Every new account starts with a free 7-day Pro trial ā no payment required.

CekTerm

Carry your remote tmux session in your pocket. Close the app; the work keeps running. CekTerm is an SSH terminal for iPhone and iPad. It never owns your work ā the real thing is the tmux session on the remote host, and the app is just a client you can throw away and reattach at any time. So switching apps, running out of battery, losing signal underground, even swiping the app out of the multitasking list: that build, training run, deploy or AI agent is still going. Open it again and the screen picks up exactly where you left off. Features ⢠Sessions live in remote tmux Disconnects, app switches and dead batteries do not matter ā come back, attach to the same session, and the half-finished work is still there. ⢠Local scrollback, scrolling never hits the network tmux control mode returns a linear output stream, so history is stored on the phone and scrolling back feels like scrolling any other page. ⢠Session names stay on the phone If the remote tmux session is gone, its entry remains in the list ā one tap rebuilds it with the same name and settings. ⢠Keys are generated on the device Ed25519 or ECDSA, straight into the Keychain ā no copying a private key across machines, which is where keys usually leak. ⢠Input built for a phone A dedicated row for Ctrl/Alt/arrows, frequent commands as reorderable tabs, and floating Enter and clear buttons you can drag anywhere. ⢠An exit key that reads the context It asks the remote what is running first: q for less, Ctrl-D for python, Ctrl-C twice for an agent ā and for vim it asks whether to save. ⢠Pick the remote folder and shell Browse the remote directory tree while creating a session; the shell list is read from that host, so you do not have to remember paths. ⢠Upload files over SFTP Send several files at once to any remote folder and leave the page while it transfers. The file only appears at its final path once complete, so an interruption never leaves half a file behind. ⢠Voice input Speak a line, get text, review it before sending ā or run it straight away. Long commands are painful to type on a phone. ⢠Six interface languages and multiple themes The interface language is independent of the system setting, and the terminal has six colour schemes of its own. Security ⢠Private keys, passphrases and passwords live in the Keychain, readable only after the device is unlocked, and never leave this device via iCloud Keychain or encrypted backups. ⢠Host keys use TOFU: the key is recorded on first connect and must match exactly every time after; a mismatch aborts the connection and shows both fingerprints. ⢠Biometric lock: protect the app with Face ID or Touch ID and lock it the moment it goes to the background. ⢠Remote clipboard reads are refused: OSC 52 is implemented for writing only and never answers a read query. ⢠Settings export contains no private keys or passwords ā those stay in the Keychain. What you need A remote host you are authorised to log into, with tmux installed (Linux or macOS). Please use Ed25519 keys: RSA private keys can no longer authenticate against OpenSSH 8.8 and later. This app does not try to be a full SFTP browser or a port-forwarding tool ā a desktop SSH client is better at those. It focuses on one thing: watching a long-running session from a phone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CekTerm at none against Termixa's 2. CekTerm also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 4 weeks). Termixa's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
