I built a mobile app to take my Claude Code sessions on the go

TerminaLLM — Our First App

I got hooked on Claude Code pretty quickly, but I got frustrated with it being limited to my computer so I did what most people did and downloaded an SSH terminal. But, I wanted to create, test, and review apps on the go in a robust environment with a code editor, a port forwarding browser, SFTP, photo uploading capability, built in AI-assistant, and more.

So my co-founder and I built TerminaLLM.

It's a mobile dev environment purpose-built for AI coding agents. SSH into your server, run any CLI agent located on your machine, and stay connected with custom session persistence — all from your phone. Here's what makes it different:

Works with any agent. Claude Code, Aider, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Amazon Q, Amp, OpenCode — if it runs in a terminal, it runs in TerminaLLM. Use whatever you want.

Live change detection. Watch every file your AI agent creates or modifies in real-time with line-by-line diffs. Know exactly what happened while you were away.

Built-in code editor + app preview. Edit files with syntax highlighting and preview localhost dev servers (React, Vite, Django) directly in the app via port forwarding.

Smart notifications. Get pinged when your agent is actually waiting for input — not every time stdout goes quiet. Process tree detection handles this.

Persistent sessions. Close the app, your agent keeps running. Reopen and pick up where you left off with full scrollback replay.

Security-first. AES-256-GCM encrypted credential vault, TOTP + biometric auth, host key verification, screen capture prevention, and full audit logging. Your keys never leave your device.

We're live on Google Play now, iOS coming soon.

If you've ever wished you could check on a long-running Claude Code task from your hot tub, couch, the bus, or a coffee shop — this is for you.
