Murmur BLE Shell vs Clive

murmur turns your phone into a remote control for a Raspberry Pi — no Wi-Fi, no network setup, no port forwarding. Just Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), directly between your phone and the Pi. HOW IT WORKS Install the open-source murmur daemon on any Raspberry Pi running Linux, pair your phone with it over Bluetooth, and you get: • Shell mode — a real interactive terminal on the Pi, right from your phone. • Agent mode — describe what you want in plain English ("what's eating my disk space?", "set up a static IP") and an AI agent plans and runs the shell commands for you, showing every command and its output as it goes. BRING YOUR OWN API KEY Agent mode is powered by your own Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, or Google Gemini API key — entered once in Settings, stored only in your phone's secure keychain. murmur has no backend server and no account system. The only network calls it makes are the LLM requests you trigger yourself, using your own key. WORKS OFFLINE ON THE PI SIDE The Raspberry Pi never needs an internet connection. It just needs Bluetooth and the murmur daemon running. Good for headless boxes, home labs, and devices you'd rather not put on a network at all. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Everything murmur stores — the Bluetooth pairing key, your API key, an optional per-device sudo password, and saved agent conversations — stays on your phone in the OS-level secure store. One tap in Settings wipes it all. OPEN SOURCE Both the daemon and the app are open source: github.com/nekonihq/murmur

Clive is an SSH and Mosh terminal for iPhone and iPad that refuses to hang up. Every mobile terminal faces the same enemy: the phone itself. Switch apps to copy a 2FA code, let the screen lock, step out of Wi-Fi — and your connection is dead, your output gone, your job orphaned. Clive was built around a single obsession: your session should be exactly where you left it, every time you come back. KEEP YOUR REMOTE WORK RUNNING • Mosh sessions don't reconnect — they resume. Hours later, on a different network, your session syncs and carries on. • tmux mode makes plain SSH just as durable: your processes and scrollback live on the server, and Clive reattaches automatically. • Automatic reconnect with backoff retries when your network returns. Enable tmux to preserve the remote shell across SSH reconnects. • No battery-draining keep-alive hacks — just the right protocols, used properly. BUILT FOR THE AGE OF AGENTIC CODING Kick off a long job — an AI coding agent, a training run, a build — and walk away. Clive is your window back into it from the train, the couch, or the other side of the world. When your server is doing the work, your phone only has to watch. SSH AND MOSH, DONE PROPERLY • SSH or Mosh, selectable per host, with tmux on either. Multiple simultaneous connections — even to the same server. • xterm-256color, themes, and adjustable scrollback. • A custom keyboard with a joystick-style key bar, plus full hardware-keyboard support. YOUR FILES, RIGHT THERE • Built-in SFTP browser with a code editor, syntax highlighting, and Markdown rendering. • Rename files, create folders, delete remote items, and jump directly to a path. • Save-conflict warnings preserve your draft when remote content changes. Upload collisions offer keep-both or explicit replacement/merge. • Type "open" plus a file path at any prompt and the file appears. YOUR CONNECTIONS AND KEYS, PROTECTED • Verify and approve each new server's fingerprint. Changed host keys block the connection until you explicitly replace trust. • Generate keys on-device or import supported SSH keys. Private keys and passwords stay in Keychain storage. • Optional iCloud sync shares host metadata and eligible secrets through your own iCloud and iCloud Keychain. Secure Enclave private keys remain on their original device. • Face ID lock for the whole app. • No account, analytics, ads, or tracking. Diagnostic and device metadata is sent only when you choose to submit feedback. Clive Pro is a one-time purchase for themes, custom fonts, the SFTP browser, and file viewing/editing, with a seven-day full-access trial. The terminal, hosts, keys, and iCloud sync remain free.
