Remote Terminal
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your servers, and the AI agents working on them, in your pocket. Remote Terminal is a full SSH client for iPhone and iPad: a real terminal emulator, deep tmux integration, a remote file browser, and a dashboard that shows what every terminal-based AI coding agent is doing — including which one is waiting for your approval. Start Claude Code, Codex or another terminal agent inside tmux on your server, lock your phone, switch from Wi-Fi to cellular, and come back later. The agent keeps working on the server, and Remote Terminal reconnects and reattaches so you can see exactly what it did while you were away. AN AGENT COMMAND CENTRE • Every agent, on every server, on one screen • At a glance: which one is thinking, editing files, running a command — or waiting for you • Tap an agent to drop straight into its terminal • A per-agent timeline, with tools used, commands run and files touched A REAL TERMINAL • Complete emulation: 256 and true colour, alternate screen, full-screen TUIs, mouse reporting, hyperlinks • A keyboard built for a terminal: Esc, Tab, Ctrl, Alt, arrows, Home, End, Page Up/Down, function keys — hardware keyboards too • Search your scrollback, copy any region, paste with bracketed paste • Text reflows when you rotate the device instead of scrambling DEEP TMUX INTEGRATION • Create, attach, rename and kill sessions; add windows, split and close panes • Preview any pane without attaching to it • Attach automatically on connect, and reattach after a dropped connection MANY SERVERS AT ONCE • Production, staging and your GPU box connected simultaneously • Switch instantly, with favourites, search and colour tags • Per-server themes, font sizes, startup commands and tmux behaviour RESILIENT BY DESIGN • Automatic reconnection with backoff, so a flaky network does not hammer your server • Instant reconnection when the network comes back, rather than waiting out a timer • A connection state you can read, with errors that say what to do next REMOTE FILES • Browse, read and edit files on your server, with syntax highlighting for 19 language families • Upload and download over the SSH connection you already have • Confirmation before anything destructive VOICE AND IMAGES • Dictate a command or a message for an agent, review the text, then send it • Anything that looks destructive has to be confirmed, because dictation mishears • Photograph an error on another screen and hand the image to an agent BUILT ON KEYCHAIN SECURITY • Passwords, private keys and passphrases live in the iOS Keychain, on this device only, excluded from backups • Optional Face ID or Touch ID for saved credentials, and an App Lock for the app itself • Proper SSH host key verification: a changed key is never accepted silently • Ed25519 and ECDSA keys, including passphrase-protected OpenSSH keys PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No account, no Remote Terminal server, no analytics SDK. Your connections go from your device straight to your machines, and your credentials, commands, output and files never go anywhere except the server you connected to. REMOTE TERMINAL PRO Connecting to your own servers is part of Remote Terminal Pro, with the agent dashboard, file transfer, voice and image input, notifications and insights. It starts with a 3-day free trial; the price and renewal terms are shown before you subscribe, and you can cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. Want to look around first? Turn on Demo Mode in Settings: sample servers that cannot be reached, every screen unlocked, and no connection ever opened.
