Muxly – Native Tmux for iPhone and iPad

Muxly launched as a native tmux client for iPhone and iPad that turns tmux windows into native tabs and keeps AI agent sessions running inside tmux when the app is closed or the connection drops. Muxly connects directly over SSH with no account or proxy, stores credentials in the iOS Keychain, and delivers end-to-end encrypted terminal bell notifications through a relay after SSH disconnects. The app also supports SFTP file browsing and editing, and states it includes no ads or in-app analytics SDKs.

tmux integration

Your tmux windows become native tabs. #

Switch between agent sessions, windows, and panes using Muxly’s native controls. They remain the same tmux sessions you can use from your other clients.

  • Windows
  • Create, rename, reorder, and close real tmux windows from the tab strip.
  • Panes
  • Switch between panes. Use the pane picker on iPhone; see panes side by side on iPad.
  • Sessions
  • Resume, choose, or switch sessions—including switching over an existing connection.

Built for touch

Smooth, native scrolling. #

You’ll forget you’re inside tmux. Muxly uses tmux control mode to deliver a native terminal experience.

Persistent by design

Keep your AI agents running. #

Your agents continue working inside tmux when you close Muxly or lose the connection. Reconnect to the same session when you return.

Leave and return to a session Encrypted notifications

Terminal bell notifications. #

Configure your agent to ring the terminal bell when it finishes or needs input. Muxly can deliver an encrypted notification even after SSH disconnects.

Tapping a notification beams you directly into the relevant window.

Set up coding-agent notifications Files and editing

Manage your files. #

Browse remote files over SFTP and edit code or configuration files without leaving Muxly. Your file browser and unsaved edits remain available when you switch terminal tabs.

Privacy

Direct SSH to your servers. #

No account to create, no proxy to trust. Your device talks straight to your host.

  • Your connections
  • No Muxly account is required. Terminal traffic goes directly to your hosts.
  • Your credentials
  • Credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain. Secure Enclave private keys stay on the device.
  • Optional notifications
