“on a small iOS screen in Termius”

“using tmux over Termius is pretty weak”
“I drive the whole setup with tailscale + termius in tmux sessions from my workstation”
if you're using herdr, i built a plugin exactly for this reason. its a pwa so requires a proper frontdoor for secured access (tailscale, netbird etc.). https://github.com/AltanS/collie

I was doing something similar, but it felt clunky on my phone. Wrote a daemon + mobile app (similar to Happy, but fixed a lot of the problems) and baked in Tailscale support. Will open source it soon and should have an official release in the next few weeks: https://getroutie.com/
I’ve had decent luck with Termius because it gives you a row of keyboard shortcuts above the usual keyboard. Still cramped, but it works. Tmux is annoying with a mobile keyboard, so I vibe coded a little mobile-friendly wrapper https://github.com/zakandrewking/pocketbot Someone is going to solve this with a non-buggy app, but it really needs to have all the features of Claude code. Everyone is a power user in this se
I’ve been doing this for a while [1], but ultimately settled on a building a thin transport layer for Telegram to accept and return media, and persistent channels, vastly improved messaging UX, etc. and ended up turning this into a ‘claw with a heartbeat and SOUL [2].

“The one feature drawback of tailscale/tmux/termius is no file upload.”
I’m happy with ShellFish, $30 one-time (subscription option too). https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ssh-client-secure-shellfish/id1336634154

While I don't use the AI part I have a very similar scheme and it is one of the reasons I encourage people to live in the terminal. The idea is to create a modern "terminal"[0] My main computer is a Macbook Air, which I carry around with me. It's purpose is for: internet, using Microsoft products when I'm forced to, Zoom/meetings, and SSH (or Mosh). Most of my work is not done on this Macbook, instead I use it mostly

“seems inferior to Termius in every way except that scrolling tmux actually works”
“almost identical setup with tmux and Tailscale and Termius”
“over Termius app”
“Get an SSH terminal app (Blink, Termius, etc.).”
“Termius connects via ssh to remote server where I run claude code”
