Built for remote development on a phone
Your AI tools run on your servers. Roamtty lets you reach them from anywhere.
AI agent sessions
Pick an agent, a host and a start folder, with read-only, standard or YOLO permissions. Sessions are grouped into needs you, running and done; cards show the task, the command being run and a summary of the answer, with Allow and Reply right on the card.
Remote desktop
Open the desktop of a Linux, macOS or Windows computer on your phone. The app installs its plugin for you, with nothing to configure. Swipe to scroll, switch windows or show the desktop in one tap, and hear the computer’s sound. Learn more
Notifications
Claude Code tells you when it needs you or finishes a turn; one tap opens that session. Put the phone away and still catch it.
Landscape and portrait
Turn the phone whenever you like: the terminal, desktop and session list all rearrange, with far more room in landscape.
tmux persistence
Each session gets its own remote tmux session. Work keeps running when the network drops, the screen locks or the app closes, and reattaches when you come back.
mosh roaming
When the host has mosh, the terminal uses UDP and survives switching between Wi-Fi and cellular, falling back to SSH if mosh doesn't answer. Install tmux and mosh from inside the app.
A terminal made for touch
Double-tap for Tab and swipe for arrow keys. Hold the little ghost for a ring of shortcuts tailored to the program in front: Claude Code, Codex, Grok and Gemini CLI each get their own. Pinch to zoom; hold to select text or drag the cursor.
SFTP files
Browse server files and preview code with syntax highlighting, Markdown and images. Upload, download, rename and delete, or insert a photo's remote path into the terminal for the agent.
Host monitoring
Live CPU, memory, disk, network, GPU and top processes, to see whether an agent's tests or build are stuck.
Reach home from any network
With Tailscale, or a self-hosted Headscale and DERP relays, reach your home or office machine over cellular without exposing it to the internet. See the guide
Secure by default
Verify the SHA-256 host fingerprint on first connection; a changed fingerprint blocks the connection. Passwords are saved encrypted only if you choose, and key passphrases never are.
Linux, macOS and Windows
Works with Linux, macOS, BSD and Windows hosts running OpenSSH and detects the system for you; on Windows, psmux keeps sessions alive and PowerShell powers folders and monitoring.
