Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An Android app for resuming terminal sessions, working with files, and checking in on coding agents running on a Linux or Windows computer.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-13 issue.

For: Developers using tmux or AI coding agents away from their desks
Worth noticing: One user-controlled WireGuard hub relays SSH; the page says computers open no ports to the internet.

Field notes

The app connects to computers through a small WireGuard hub hosted on a server the user controls; the page says the computers accept SSH only through that tunnel. Its listed file tools include browsing, renaming, copying, deleting, search, undo, and syntax highlighting for about 50 languages. The project is in beta, with setup help offered to testers; the stated requirements include Android 16 or newer and either Linux with tmux or Windows 11.
