Read full descriptionHide full description
Vibe42 is your pocket terminal-first workspace. Connect your phone directly to your computer to run coding agents, review diffs, and control terminals on the go — zero config, zero lock-in. Pair once, and your Mac, Linux box or work desktop is a tap away: real terminals, your files, your tools - running where they belong. WHAT YOU GET - Real terminals, not a toy shell. Full PTY, 256 colours, and sessions that keep running when you close the app or lose signal. - Pick up where you left off. Sessions survive network changes, backgrounding and device switches: start on your laptop, continue on your phone. - Your files at hand. Browse, preview and edit the files on your computer. - Built for touch keyboards. A command bar, arrow and modifier keys, and gestures that make a terminal genuinely usable on a phone. - Many computers, one app. Group them into workspaces and jump between them. SECURITY - End-to-end encrypted. Traffic is encrypted between your device and your computer; our network can route packets but cannot read them. - Pairing, not passwords. Every device is authorized explicitly and can be revoked from any other device at any time. - Your work stays yours. We do not store your terminal output, your files or your commands, and we never use them to train models. HOW IT WORKS Install the free Vibe42 companion on the computer you want to reach, pair this device once, and you are connected. Direct peer-to-peer where the network allows it, relayed when it does not - the app switches automatically. Terms of Service: https://vibe42.ai/terms Privacy Policy: https://vibe42.ai/privacy
