Description
Stop fighting tmux on a touchscreen.
dotMux speaks tmux control mode natively and rebuilds your remote workspace as real iOS UI — the way iTerm2 does on the Mac. Your remote tmux windows and panes become native tabs and views you drive entirely by touch.
NATIVE tmux, NOT raw text
Remote tmux windows become native tabs.
Every pane becomes a native view — focused full-screen on iPhone, true side-by-side splits on iPad.
Split, resize, and close panes right from the app — pane menu, long-press, or keyboard shortcuts.
Switch windows and panes by tapping or swiping, not by hunting for a prefix key.
Select and copy text with native handles; tap links in the terminal to open them.
If a host has no tmux, dotMux falls back gracefully to a plain terminal.
REAL SSH, DONE RIGHT
Password and public-key authentication.
Import your ed25519 keys by paste or from Files — passphrase-protected keys included.
Or generate a key that lives in the Secure Enclave: non-exportable, signing happens in-chip, the private key never leaves the device.
Connect directly from your device to your own servers. No middleman, no developer backend.
PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
The session picker lists every tmux session on the host and marks the ones already attached.
Switch sessions in place, or create named ones on the fly.
iOS suspended the app? Long-running jobs keep running on the server. When you come back, dotMux re-attaches to your tmux session and your tabs and panes rebuild themselves.
A KEYBOARD BUILT FOR TERMINALS
A helper bar above the keyboard with the keys terminals actually need: Esc, Ctrl, Tab and more.
Fully customizable: add, remove, and reorder keys — F-keys, Ctrl combos, arrows, even your own text snippets.
A multi-line composer for drafting long commands and agent prompts, sent in one go.
A drag-pad arrow joystick with press-and-hold repeat for cursor movement and shell history.
Sticky modifiers, and a hide-to-floating-dock control when you want the screen back.
Paste images from your clipboard — dotMux uploads them to the host and pastes the path (built for Claude Code).
Native iOS 26 styling that respects your system tint.
MAKE IT YOURS
Terminal fonts: JetBrains Mono, Fira Code, Hack, IBM Plex Mono and more.
Color themes with live preview: Dracula, Nord, Solarized, Gruvbox, Tokyo Night, Catppuccin and others.
Pinch to zoom with a live cols × rows readout; keep the screen awake while connected.
SECURITY THAT STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE
Face ID app-lock, plus a second Face ID gate per credential, with a short configurable grace period.
Credentials live in the Keychain and Secure Enclave, bound to this device — never synced to iCloud, never sent anywhere.
A privacy cover hides the terminal in the app switcher.
dotMux collects no data. No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no account, no sign-up.
MADE FOR iPad TOO
One universal app for iPhone and iPad.
Open hosts side by side in multiple windows; built for hardware keyboard and trackpad.
PRICING
Free: save and connect to one host, fully featured.
Unlimited Hosts: a one-time $1.99 purchase to save as many servers as you like. No subscription. Restore Purchases supported.
Note: RSA keys are not supported (modern OpenSSH disables the SHA-1 ssh-rsa signature). Use ed25519 or a Secure Enclave key.
