Tmux-first mobile terminal with agent image attachments — Blink and Termux don't do this.

Strengths
  • One-tap tmux prefix actions and session picker reduce mobile keystroke friction significantly
  • Image attachment workflow directly targets AI agent coding sessions on mobile
  • Native apps on both iOS and Android, not just a Termux wrapper
Weaknesses
  • Mosh support not yet implemented, limiting unstable connection use cases
  • Paid tier gates voice mode and unlimited images behind subscription
Target Audience

Mobile developers, remote workers who SSH from phones

Post Description

I do a surprising amount of dev from my phone now: SSH into a box, attach to tmux, and drive couple of coding agents here and there.

Termux gets me pretty far on Android, and I still love it for its simplicity. But once I had a few tmux sessions across a couple of hosts, I wanted something that reduced keystrokes and felt friendlier for driving AI agents, especially things like sending them images.

On iOS, I couldn't find something that gave me a similar experience to Termux.

So I built TermRover: a native iOS/Android terminal built around tmux sessions and windows, with shortcuts for the actions I kept doing over and over on mobile, while still trying to stay minimal.

Short walk-through: https://termrover.sh/guide#quickrow

It's free for normal terminal/SSH/tmux work. The paid tier unlocks themes and convenience extras for agent workflows: unlimited image attachments and voice mode.

Mosh isn't supported yet, but I'm working on it. Honestly, I hadn't used Mosh before building this. Enough people have asked for it that I clearly need to support it.

Happy to answer questions or hear what feels missing.

Visual state tracking for AI agents in tmux

If you run multiple LLM sessions in tmux, this stops the annoying habit of constantly switching panes by surfacing state through pane borders, window-title colors and status-bar icons. It hooks into Claude Code and Codex lifecycle events (or accepts calls to agent-state.sh), offers a one-command installer, a Knight Rider running animation, and a process-detection fallback — small, clever tmux trickery that actually improves day-to-day ergonomics for its niche.
