Show HN: TermRover – a native tmux-first terminal for iOS and Android

Developer launched TermRover, a native terminal app for iOS and Android built around tmux sessions and windows, designed to reduce keystrokes and support AI agent workflows on mobile. The app is free for basic use, with a paid tier offering themes, unlimited image attachments, and voice mode.

I do a surprising amount of dev from my phone now: SSH into a box, attach to tmux, and drive couple of coding agents here and there.

Termux gets me pretty far on Android, and I still love it for its simplicity. But once I had a few tmux sessions across a couple of hosts, I wanted something that reduced keystrokes and felt friendlier for driving AI agents, especially things like sending them images.

On iOS, I couldn't find something that gave me a similar experience to Termux.

So I built TermRover: a native iOS/Android terminal built around tmux sessions and windows, with shortcuts for the actions I kept doing over and over on mobile, while still trying to stay minimal.

Short walk-through:

It's free for normal terminal/SSH/tmux work. The paid tier unlocks themes and convenience extras for agent workflows: unlimited image attachments and voice mode.

Mosh isn't supported yet, but I'm working on it. Honestly, I hadn't used Mosh before building this. Enough people have asked for it that I clearly need to support it.

Happy to answer questions or hear what feels missing.
