TermBuddy
Buddy Your Terminal.
Free · In‑App Purchases
Kicked off a long Claude Code run and left your desk? Chat with it from your phone, watch, iPad, and macOS. No middle server, ever.
Your terminal just became your buddy.
Switch between Chat, Terminal, and File Browser modes to work exactly the way you want, no more squinting at tiny terminal fonts or struggling with clunky SSH apps. Simply open a chat, type what you need, and let your Buddy handle the rest.
Chat with your terminal as if you’re messaging a friend.
Send commands as messages. Receive responses as chat bubbles. It's that straightforward. Whether you're restarting a service, tailing logs, or deploying code, it feels as natural as texting.
AI-powered brilliance, integrated perfectly.
TermBuddy supports Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI (users need to subscribe separately). Ask your AI assistant to write scripts, debug errors, or explain what's happening on your server, all within the same chat interface. It's like having a senior engineer in your pocket.
Direct connection. No middleman. Fully encrypted.
TermBuddy connects your device straight to your server, with no intermediaries or third-party cloud. In SSH Tunnel mode, all traffic is encrypted via SSH, with the server bound to localhost only. In Direct Connection mode, traffic is secured by TLS with certificate pinning. Your credentials are stored in the system Keychain, and API access is protected with token-based authentication and rate limiting. Your data never goes through anyone else's servers.
Manage your servers from the sofa, café, or train.
Your server is waiting. Say hello to your new Buddy.
Note: TermBuddy requires an active subscription to use.
