Run Claude Code, vim, htop and the rest of your setup from your phone: pmosh attaches to the tmux session that is already running on your own server, so nothing is copied, proxied or re-hosted. One tab is free forever; Pro (unlimited tabs) has a 7-day free trial. pmosh is an SSH terminal for iPhone and iPad that attaches to a tmux session on your own server using tmux's control mode, so the terminal you see on your phone is the same session running on your machine. It's built for developers who run tmux, shells, and command-line tools — including agentic coding tools like Claude Code — on servers or machines they already own and administer. pmosh doesn't provide any of that for you; it's a client that connects to infrastructure you already have. pmosh only connects to servers you configure. On first launch it generates an ed25519 SSH keypair on your device, stored in the iOS Keychain, and shows you the public key so you can add it to authorized_keys on your own server. You type in your host and username; nothing is pre-filled or bundled. There is no server component, no bundled credentials, and no third-party service in between. Features: - Attaches to a remote tmux session over SSH using tmux's control mode (tmux -CC), so output and session state stay in sync with the server - On-device ed25519 key generation — a unique keypair per install, kept in the iOS Keychain - Two rows of on-screen keys above the keyboard with what terminal work needs but iOS doesn't have: Esc, Ctrl-C, Enter, arrow keys (hold to repeat), Tab / Shift-Tab, and scrollback paging — both rows customizable in Settings, including keys that type your own text - Works with an external hardware keyboard if you use one - One terminal tab, with the full terminal feature set, free forever - No accounts and no sign-in — ever - pmosh Pro (optional subscription): unlimited tabs, each its own tmux session Privacy: pmosh does not collect analytics or usage data, and does not talk to any server other than the one you enter in setup. There is no account system and no data is sent to the developer or any third party. The only network connection the app makes is the SSH connection to your own server. Requirements: pmosh needs an SSH server you control, reachable from your device, with tmux installed on it. It is not a hosting service and does not include a server — you connect it to a server you already run. pmosh Pro — optional auto-renewing subscription - pmosh Pro Monthly: $3.99 per month - pmosh Pro Yearly: $29.99 per year pmosh Pro unlocks unlimited terminal tabs. One tab, with the full terminal, stays free forever — the subscription is entirely optional. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in Settings on your device after purchase.

Marshal Stack
Read full descriptionHide full description
Marshal Stack is one screen for everything you have already shipped. Your apps in the App Store, the sites and APIs behind them, and the servers you run yourself — all read by one rule: green is fine, amber needs a look, red is down. WHAT IT WATCHES • App Store — rating, review count, latest version, and the release state: in review, rejected, ready for sale. • Sites and APIs — checked every minute, with the latency next to the result. A notification arrives when an address stops answering twice in a row, and again when it recovers. • Your own servers — CPU, memory, disk, load and the heaviest processes, reported by a small agent you install with one line on a machine you already own. • Alerts that say what to do, not only what broke — memory over the threshold, a process running from /tmp, a port that was not open yesterday. YOUR KEYS, YOUR MACHINES Connect your own App Store Connect key, or none at all. The server agent dials out over HTTPS: it opens no port, reads no files, touches no databases, and uninstalls with one command. There is no registration form. Sign in with GitHub, or just open the app and look around on sample data bundled inside it — no account, no keys, no network. ON THE WRIST The same three states on Apple Watch. A glance tells you whether anything needs you, and a tap opens the one thing that does. Free. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads, no third-party trackers.
