Everything TermRover does, in seven taps.
A mobile terminal for keeping an eye on long-running work from your phone — builds, servers, and AI agents working away over SSH. Pick a feature on the left and the whole screen walks you through it.
Built to fix one person’s problems — usable tmux, agents you can send images to and talk to, and a terminal that’s easy on the eyes at night.
Start the tourThe tmux quick row
tmux keeps your work alive between connections — it’s non-negotiable. The hard part on a phone is typing the prefix (Ctrl-B) on a touch keyboard. TermRover puts the common tmux commands on a row right above the keyboard — one tap each.
Tap c for a new window, " or % to split, z to zoom the focused pane, and d to detach. TermRover detects your prefix per host, so there’s nothing to configure.

Switch session in one tap
Run your editor in one session and an agent in another, then jump between them without hunting for the prefix. Tap the cyan tmux key to open the session picker.
Pick the session you want and you’re there — editor, agent, build logs, whatever you’ve got running.

Scroll back through history, by thumb
Scrolling back is the thing most mobile terminals get wrong. Tap the mouse key — it turns amber — to enter mouse mode, then swipe through your scrollback with your thumb.
A counter in the top-right shows your position, so you always know where you are. Tap exit to drop back to the live prompt.

Pick a theme that’s easy on the eyes
Working at night? A harsh, bright terminal in a dark room is hard on the eyes. Open the theme picker and choose something calmer.
The whole app follows along — terminal and keyboard bar reskin together. Pick what you can look at for hours and stay in it.

Send your agent an image
When an agent needs to see what you’re looking at, send it an image — the thing a phone usually can’t do. Tap Attach and pick a screenshot from your phone.
TermRover uploads it over the same SSH connection and drops the file path straight into your prompt.

Talk instead of typing
Sometimes you just don’t want to type on a phone. Tap the mic and talk — your words land in a normal, editable field.
If it mishears a word, tap in and fix it before sending. Dictation runs on-device.

Your localhost, on your phone
When an agent spins up a dev server on the box, forward its port over SSH and open it right in the app. Open a new tab, choose Port forward, and enter the port — say 3000.
The tab shows ⇄ :3000. Tap Open in browser and your localhost loads in-app — hot reload and all.

That’s the tour. If you live in the terminal too, maybe TermRover helps you. It’s in beta — jump in and tell us what breaks.
