TermOnMac: remote terminal
Mac Terminal, Vibe Coding
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Remote terminal access for your Mac.
Connect to your Mac from your iPhone or iPad anytime.
TermOnMac puts your Mac terminal on your iPhone and iPad — through a built-in relay server, zero setup, end-to-end encrypted.
FREE TO GET STARTED
The free plan lets you connect up to 4 Macs with 4 sessions — perfect for checking builds, running quick commands, and trying out the full experience.
VIBE CODING FROM ANYWHERE — JUST $0.99/MO
Run Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor sessions for hours from your iPhone or iPad. Pro at $0.99/month gives you the headroom for real AI coding workflows. Heavy users: Premium at $2.99/month is still cheaper than a coffee.
SIMPLE, TRANSPARENT PRICING
Usage is measured by relay traffic — data sent through the relay including commands, output, heartbeats, and system requests. No hidden fees. You only pay for what you use.
RELAY SERVER — WORKS BEHIND ANY FIREWALL
No SSH keys. No Tailscale. No port forwarding. No public IP needed. Install the Mac agent, scan a QR code on your iPhone or iPad, and you're connected — even behind corporate firewalls, NATs, or VPNs.
BUILT FOR AI CODING AGENTS
TermOnMac is a relay terminal — bring your own AI. Run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or any terminal-based tool on your Mac, then control it remotely from your iPhone or iPad. No vendor lock-in, no extra cost — just your tools, from anywhere.
NEVER LOSE YOUR SESSION
Network switches, device sleep, subway tunnels — your session stays alive. Auto-reconnect picks up right where you left off. Input is buffered while disconnected.
SESSION HANDOFF — IPHONE ↔ IPAD ↔ MAC
Start a terminal session on your iPhone, continue on your iPad, and pick it up on your Mac — or any direction. Same session, zero interruption. Like Apple Handoff, but for your terminal.
TOUCH KEYBOARD — BUILT FOR TERMINAL
A custom toolbar above the on-screen keyboard gives you Ctrl, Esc, Tab, arrow keys, and modifier toggles — the keys iOS doesn't have. Search your shortcuts by name and trigger them with a tap.
HARDWARE KEYBOARD — FULL CONTROL
Connect a Magic Keyboard or any Bluetooth keyboard to your iPad. 12 dedicated shortcuts (⌘⌥ prefix): toggle sidebar, switch sessions, run builds, and more. Full terminal control without touching the screen.
CUSTOM SHORTCUTS
Create reusable commands as one-tap shortcuts. Build your own mobile developer toolbar. Export as JSON for backup or sharing with teammates.
END-TO-END ENCRYPTED
Curve25519 key exchange, AES-256-GCM encryption, ephemeral keys for forward secrecy. The relay only forwards ciphertext — it cannot read your terminal content.
