Remote Terminal turns your iPhone or iPad into a remote control for a computer you already own. Pair with a quick QR scan from the desktop agent, then run a full interactive shell, browse folders, and transfer files—without leaving your couch or office.
HOW IT WORKS
• Install the Remote Terminal desktop agent on your computer.
• Open the app on your device and scan the QR code shown on the desktop monitor.
• Choose Terminal to access your system's native shell—or open Files to browse and transfer items on the desktop.
TERMINAL
• Live command output with a phone-friendly keyboard and shortcuts.
• Reconnect after sleep, travel, or network changes; your session can stay reserved on the host computer.
• Select your preferred command-line environment before you connect.
FILES
• Browse allowed folders on the desktop (you can configure which folders to share).
• Download files to your phone and upload from your device when the desktop agent allows it.
SECURITY YOU CONTROL
• Optional join password on the desktop—required for session-ID pairing when enabled.
• Pairing uses your own backend or our hosted service; the desktop agent must be running and online.
• Camera access is only used to scan QR codes.
REQUIREMENTS
• A Remote Terminal desktop agent running on the computer you want to control.
• Network access between your device and the pairing server (local network or internet, depending on your setup).
Remote Terminal is built for owners and power users who want real shell access from mobile—not a simplified fake terminal. Download the desktop agent from our site or GitHub releases, then connect with this app.
