offdesk puts your home terminal in your pocket
A phone-accessible terminal for machines you leave running at home, using a local hub, outbound connections, and tmux.
Field notes
The system separates a persistent hub, outbound-connected nodes, and tmux-owned terminal sessions. Its setup flow uses a shell installer and a printed QR code, while additional machines receive a one-line tokenized command from the hub. The page supports browser access on iPhone and describes an Android APK with notifications and built-in scanning. For remote exposure, it documents Cloudflare Tunnel as the simplest route but explicitly notes that Cloudflare can inspect terminal traffic.
