Terminals weren’t made
for phones. Moshi is.
Works with the agents you already run
Real demo — moshi editing itself, live reload
Moshi 🐱 is the baby monitor for your AI agents — a terminal built for phones, not shrunken from desktops.
Check on your agent from the couch 🛋️, the beach 🏖️, the coffee shop ☕, the bed 🛏️ — anywhere.
A local-first terminal that already does the work.
Moshi connects directly to your own Mac, Linux machine, WSL box, or VPS over SSH, Mosh, or ET. There’s no session relay: your shell, repositories, files, and agent processes stay on machines you control.
You don’t need a wrapper command or host daemon. Open the same shell you use at your desk, then use the controls a terminal needs when it lives on a phone.
Mosh & ET Connections
Stays alive across sleep, network switches, even app kills.
Herdr, tmux & Zellij
Pickers, panels, gestures — deep multiplexer integration.
Paste & Annotate Images
Crop, scribble, drop screenshots straight into your agent prompt.
Talk, Don't Type
On-device voice-to-terminal. Parakeet, Whisper, Apple, or cloud.
Shortcut Panels
Customizable panels for tmux, zellij, and agent commands.
Terminal Gestures
Swipe windows, pinch zoom, double-tap Tab.
Now make the terminal agent-aware.
Install moshi-hook on your machine to add structured agent context to the same live terminal session. It doesn’t replace Claude Code, Codex, or your shell.
Terminal, diff, file, and preview traffic still travels directly between your phone and your machine. The hook adds the native surfaces that make it easier to step away and stay in the loop.
Chat View
The agent TUI, rendered as a phone-native conversation.
Agents & Usages
A live kanban of every agent's tasks, asks, and context budget.
Lock Screen & Watch
Live Activity, Dynamic Island, Apple Watch — approve from anywhere.
Diff Viewer
Review the agent's working tree from the terminal header.
File Browser
Browse the repo tree at any commit — syntax-highlighted source.
Browser Preview
Open the host's local dev servers in Moshi's in-app browser.
What people are saying
Real feedback from developers using Moshi with their AI coding agents — rated 4.8 ★ across 750+ App Store ratings.
"Now that I can connect to Claude Code on my home PC with Moshi, I can work from my phone on the train. Using a trackball keyboard to operate iPhone is surprisingly good"
"Great app, I can now direct Claude from the toilet!"
"Just pushed Resumer — a tiny CLI for resuming past Codex & Claude Code sessions… I'm pairing this with Moshi app to continue sessions on my phone."
"This remote shell blows almost every other option out of the water. Great option for a dev who uses tmux, agents, and mobile devices often. The exact tool I’ve been looking for."
"Its background session battery usage is already so much better than @TermiusHQ. Termius drains battery like crazy and gets my phone hot. I think you did some sensible design choices with Moshi, I hope Termius will learn from it"
"Really great idea and very polished app! Just enough features to take all the rough edges off using agent CLIs remotely and doesn’t waste time trying to reimplement what they’re good at"
"The stress of not being able to do AI coding while on the move was too much, so I set up access to my Mac Mini at home."
"Moshi + tmux + Kilo CLI is literally everything I have wanted from coding on the go. So quick to jump into or between projects on my phone, then sit down at my desk and pick up where I left off."
"Yep, a Mac mini Claude guy, and this app is brilliant. No notes. 💅"
Whatever agent you run, Moshi speaks it.
moshi-hook plugs into the coding agents you already use, so approvals, notifications, and session status land in one inbox — no matter which CLI is doing the work.

Terminal on iPhone: What You Can Actually Run
iOS has no built-in Terminal. What a local shell (a-Shell, iSH) can and can't do, when a remote SSH/Mosh terminal is the real answer, and how to choose.

Why Moshi instead of Claude Code Remote Control?
Remote Control continues a Claude conversation. Moshi gives you the whole machine: every agent — Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and more — with a real shell underneath. Run commands, tail logs, drive tmux or Zellij, browse the repo, review diffs, and preview dev servers, all in the same live session you sit back down to at your desk.
See all comparisonsWhy Moshi instead of a free agent client?
Agent clients relay a chat through a wrapper CLI. Moshi connects straight to your machine over SSH, Mosh, or ET and keeps a real terminal under the agent — no replacement command, no session relay. Then it adds what a native app should: Live Activities, Apple Watch approvals, terminal gestures, and on-device dictation.
