Why MuxPod?

Ever needed to check on a long-running process, restart a service, or peek at logs while away from your desk?

MuxPod turns your Android phone into a tmux remote control.

• 🚀 Zero server setup — Works with any server running sshd. No agents, no daemons, nothing to install.
• 📱 Built for mobile — Not a terminal crammed into a phone. A thoughtful UI designed for touch.
• 🔐 Secure by default — SSH keys stored in Android Keystore. Your credentials never leave the device.

App Structure

MuxPod uses a 5-tab navigation with Dashboard at the center for quick session access.

Dashboard	Servers	Alerts	Keys	Settings

🏠 Dashboard

Your home screen. Recent sessions sorted by last access time with relative timestamps ("Just now", "5 min ago"). One tap to reconnect — instantly returns to your last window and pane.

📡 Servers

Manage SSH connections. Tap to expand a server card and see active tmux sessions with attach/detach status. Create new sessions or jump into existing ones.

🔔 Alerts

Monitor tmux window flags across all connections in real-time.

Flag	Color	Meaning
Bell	🔴 Red	Window triggered a bell
Activity	🟠 Orange	Content changed in window
Silence	⚫ Gray	No activity for a while

Tap any alert to jump directly to that window and pane. The alert is automatically cleared.

🔑 Keys

Generate Ed25519 (recommended) or RSA (2048/3072/4096-bit) keys on-device. Import existing keys. All stored securely with optional passphrase protection. One-tap copy public key to clipboard.

⚙️ Settings

Customize terminal appearance (fonts, colors), behavior (haptic feedback, keep screen on), and connection settings.

Terminal Experience

The terminal screen is where MuxPod shines — purpose-built for mobile tmux interaction.

🗂️ Breadcrumb Navigation

Tap Session → Window → Pane in the header to switch contexts instantly. The pane selector shows a visual layout of your split panes with accurate proportions.

Terminal	Pane Selector

👆 Touch Gestures

Gesture	Action
Hold + Swipe	Send arrow keys (↑↓←→) — perfect for editors like vim/nano
Pinch	Zoom in/out (50%–500%)
Tap pane indicator	Quick pane switcher with visual layout

⌨️ Special Keys Bar

Dedicated buttons for terminal essentials:

[ESC] [TAB] [CTRL] [ALT] [SHIFT] [ENTER] [S-RET] [/] [-]
[←] [↑] [↓] [→]  [⚡ DirectInput]  [Input...]

• Modifier keys toggle — Tap CTRL, then type 'c' for Ctrl-C
• S-RET — Shift+Enter for Claude Code confirmation
• DirectInput mode — Real-time keystroke streaming with live indicator

📋 Copy/Paste Mode

Toggle Scroll & Select Mode to enable text selection. Terminal updates are buffered while you select, so content won't jump. Selected text copies to system clipboard.

⚡ Connection Resilience

• Auto-reconnect — Up to 5 retries with exponential backoff
• Input queuing — Type while disconnected; commands send automatically on reconnect
• Latency indicator — Real-time ping display (green < 100ms, red > 500ms)
• Adaptive polling — 50ms–500ms based on activity for battery optimization

Deep Linking

Open MuxPod directly to a specific server, session, window, or pane from external apps using the muxpod:// URL scheme.

URL format:

muxpod://connect?server=<id>&session=<name>&window=<name>&pane=<index>

Parameter	Required	Description
server	Yes	Matches the connection's Deep Link ID first, then falls back to connection name (case-insensitive)
session	No	tmux session name to attach to. If omitted, uses the first available session
window	No	tmux window name to switch to
pane	No	Pane index within the window (0-based)

Setup:

1. Open a connection in Servers > Edit
2. Set a Deep Link ID (e.g., macbook-pro) — this is a stable identifier you use in URLs
3. Use the same ID in your external scripts/notifications

Example — Claude Code finish notification with deep link:

muxpod://connect?server=macbook-pro&session=dev&window=claude&pane=0

This will: find the server by ID macbook-pro → SSH connect → attach to session dev → switch to window claude → focus pane 0.

Works on both Android (intent filter) and iOS (URL type). Supports cold start (app not running) and hot links (app in background).

Use with claude-telegram-notify to get Telegram notifications when Claude Code finishes or needs input, with tappable deep links that open MuxPod directly to the right terminal.
