AI coding agents stuck on a prompt? Approve from your phone. Optimized client–server transport keeps your terminal snappy, even on weak cellular.
Your agents, within reach of any screen.
QuickTUI is the iPhone and iPad app for your self-hosted server. Kick off an AI coding agent, a long build, or a migration — then walk away. Your session stays live on the server, and you can check in from wherever you are.
ALWAYS ATTACHED
Open the app and your session is already there — output intact, cursor right where you left it. No reconnect ritual, no scrolling back through logs. Just pick up and keep going.
REACH IN FROM ANYWHERE
Your agent hit a confirm prompt. You're on the subway. Attach, approve, detach — 10 seconds, and it keeps going without you. Esc, Tab, Ctrl, arrow keys, and all your custom shortcuts are one tap away.
BUILT FOR THE TERMINAL
Fully customizable toolbar so the keys you actually use are always in reach. D-pad overlay for cursor navigation. Clipboard history you can search and reuse. Custom shortcut macros, organized in folders. Multiline editor for when you need to compose something longer before sending. Text selection and copy, built right in.
FREE TO USE, PRO FOR MORE
Download free and connect to one server — every feature included: terminal, sessions, file browser, themes, and shortcuts. Upgrade to QuickTUI Pro with a one-time purchase to unlock unlimited server profiles. If you bought the app before it became free, you're already Pro — just tap Restore Purchase in Settings → About.
THEMES THAT LOOK RIGHT
14 terminal color schemes to pick from — Catppuccin, Tokyo Night, Gruvbox, Solarized, Dracula, Nord, Rose Pine, GitHub, and more. Separate dark and light themes, auto-switched with your system. Font, size, line height, cursor style — all yours to tune.
SETUP IN SECONDS
Run quicktui-server --qrcode on your server, scan it with the app, and you're in. No token copy-paste, no IP typing. Prefer to set things up step by step? The built-in wizard walks you through it.
BROWSE FILES TOO
Need to check a log or grab a file? The built-in file browser lets you browse and preview files on your server without switching apps.
YOUR SERVER, YOUR DATA
Token-based auth, stored in the iOS Keychain. Your code, your keys, your API quotas — all stay on your own machine. No account required, no telemetry, no third party in the loop.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Install the QuickTUI server on your Mac, Linux, or WSL machine — one-line script at https://quicktui.ai
2. Scan the QR code or enter your server URL and token.
3. Connect. Your agent is already there.

New in 1.5
Command Palette Keys Panel — A new Keys tab inside the Command Palette puts every special key one tap away: Esc, Tab, Enter, Space (SPC), Backspace, Del, PgUp, PgDn, the four arrows, and the full Ctrl+A..Z grid. Arrows, Space, editing, and paging keys stay open after each tap so you can chain inputs without re-opening the panel.
Smart Paste from Clipboard History — Pick an entry while the keyboard or input bar is already active and the text now pastes straight into the terminal. From the browsing state (no keyboard focus) selection still drops into the input bar for editing, just like before.
Toolbar Refinements — Cleaner icons across the toolbar: the Ctrl button now opens the Keys panel (toggle to dismiss), Command Palette uses a clearer ⌘ glyph, the Edit shortcut shows an upward chat arrow, and Esc / D-pad / dismiss-keyboard icons are resized to match.
New Settings Section: Input Bar — "Open input bar on tap" and the new "Close input bar after send" option now live in their own Input Bar group. Enable the new option to have the input bar collapse and the keyboard dismiss automatically right after each send.
New Settings Section: Gestures — Gesture-related toggles ("Single-finger arrow keys", "One-finger double-tap sends Enter") moved into a dedicated Gestures group, separate from General.
File Preview Favorites — A favorite button now lives on the file preview panel.
