Knife Terminal

Knife Terminal mirrors the terminal sessions on your Mac to your iPhone. It is the phone-side companion to the free, open-source Knife Terminal app for macOS. Run Claude Code (or any command-line tool) in Knife Terminal on your Mac, and every tab follows you out the door: • Live mirror — each session's screen rendered natively, with real colors, text selection and copy • Chat view — Claude Code sessions read like a messages thread: your prompts, Claude's replies, tool activity • Reply from anywhere — type into any session from your phone; a push notification tells you when a session is waiting on you • Usage at a glance — 5-hour, weekly and per-model usage bars, one tap away • Open projects remotely — start a new session in any recent project without touching the Mac • Private by design — everything syncs through your own private iCloud database. No accounts, no analytics, no servers of ours; we never see your data. Requires the free, open-source Knife Terminal app for macOS: github.com/cheewee2000/knife-terminal
