§00/Termex — a real terminal for iOS
SSH into your agents
from anywhere.
Termex is a real terminal for iPhone and iPad. Native SSH, persistent Mosh sessions, and the Ghostty renderer — built for the way you actually work.
§01/Capabilities
Built for the way you actually work.
Real protocols, real performance, real workflow. No phone-terminal compromises.
01·Mosh, done right
Sessions that survive sleep, weak signal, and your subway tunnel.
A clean-room Rust implementation of the Mosh protocol, built specifically for iOS. Lock the screen for an hour, swap WiFi for cell, walk into a dead zone — your shell is exactly where you left it when you come back.
$ ssh prod-eu
↳ resumed via mosh — connection persisted 14h 22m
$ tail -f /var/log/agent.log
[agent-7] step 412/1000 · 2h 14m elapsed
[agent-7] tool_call: read_file
02·Pro renderer
The Ghostty renderer, on iPhone.
120 Hz, true-color, full Unicode, ligature-aware. Smooth at any buffer size.
- refresh120 Hz · ProMotion
- color24-bit true-color
- textUnicode 16 · ligatures
- scrollback10 000 lines
03·Workflow
Connections, snippets, keyboard profiles.
Save hosts and reach them in one tap. Build snippet libraries for your most-typed commands. Customise the bottom row of the keyboard with the keys you actually need — Esc, Ctrl, Tab, arrows, pipes.
04·Agent control
Babysit your agents from the bus.
Your dev box runs Claude, Codex, or your own loop. Open Termex, check the log, kick off the next step, kill the runaway process. Then put the phone back in your pocket.

§02/Internals
The internals you'd build if you cared.
Termex is built on tools that have proven themselves in production. No web-view shells, no callback-spaghetti SSH libraries.
01·transport
─libssh2
Battle-tested SSH transport. The same library trusted by curl, git, and a thousand production deploys.
02·protocol
─Clean-room Rust Mosh
A from-scratch implementation of the Mosh protocol in safe Rust, packaged as an XCFramework with a GPL-clean C bridge.
03·rendering
─Ghostty renderer
The renderer built for one of the fastest desktop terminals, ported and tuned for iOS at 120 Hz.
04·security
─Keychain & file protection
All credentials live in iOS Keychain with the strongest accessibility class your device supports. Nothing in plaintext, ever.
05·data
─CloudKit sync
Saved hosts, snippets, and preferences sync end-to-end through your private iCloud container. We never see your data.
06·ui
─iOS 26 Liquid Glass
Native materials, Dynamic Type, full VoiceOver, RTL support. It feels like an iOS app because it is one.

§04/Field reports
Real terminal. Real users. Real work.
From the people running production from a phone they're not supposed to be running production from.
Finally — htop on my phone that doesn't lie about colors. The Mosh handling alone is worth the price; my agent runs survive a 30-minute subway ride.
I babysit a half-dozen Codex jobs from the bus every morning. Termex is the only iOS terminal that doesn't make that feel like punishment.
Saved hosts, snippets, real keyboard profiles. It's the first iPhone terminal I've actually shipped real work from instead of falling back to the laptop.
