A pocket terminal & coding workspace for the AI-coding era
A computer far away.
The workspace in your palm.
Moku is a thoughtfully designed pocket workspace: a fast mobile terminal plus a coding workspace for your AI agents. Our goal is to make mobile vibecoding a daily habit — anytime, anywhere, replacing hours spent tethered to a desk with a keyboard and mouse. Moku is not traditional remote software: it brings delightfully crafted interaction, a refined developer experience, polished UI, and exceptional performance.

GitHub ReleasesZERO-CONFIG PRIVATE NETWORK
No public IP? One command and you’re in.
Moku embeds Tailcat, the userspace networking tool from Tailscale’s open-source stack. Run tailcat --serve=22 on the host, paste the short token into Moku, and the two ends establish an encrypted peer-to-peer connection — falling back to DERP relays only when they must. No port forwarding, no relay VPS, no root.
AGENT ORCHESTRATION
Every agent pane, live in your drawer.
Herdr runs several agents side by side on one host — pi exploring, grok implementing, codex chasing a root cause. Moku lists every open pane at the top of the drawer with its current task. Peek in read-only without disturbing it, or take the keyboard with one tap when it needs a prompt. No tmux window juggling on a phone.

Pick up exactly where your agent left off.
On connect, Moku scans the host for on-disk projects and sessions from 12+ coding CLIs — Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Qoder, Trae, Kimi, Grok, MiniMax Code and more. Pick the project, tap the session, and it reopens inside a real terminal with its full context. Linux, macOS and Windows hosts alike.

A terminal engine that respects the phone.
No webview. Moku’s Rust core parses ANSI at 2.1× the throughput of common emulators and paints a 10 MiB log burst in about 0.3 s. Native Mosh keeps the shell alive through Wi-Fi ↔ 5G handoffs and elevator rides. On iOS, the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen show your agent’s state through the mascot’s eyes — screen off, task still watched.

Built for how developers work today
Classic mobile SSH clients like Termius, Blink Shell, or Prompt were designed for emergency sysadmin commands on tiny virtual keyboards. Moku was built from day one for mobile vibecoding and AI agents: native Mosh roaming across Wi-Fi and 5G, zero-config private networking without public IPs, and 1-tap resume for Claude Code and Codex. An SSH client connects you — Moku keeps you coding anywhere.
| Capability | Moku | Traditional SSH apps (e.g. Termius) |
|---|---|---|
| AI Coding Workspaces | Auto-detects 12+ CLIs; 1-tap resume (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) | Invisible; manual search for session IDs |
| Private Networking (No Public IP) | Embedded Tailcat private networking; paste token to connect | Requires public IP, NAT port mapping, or heavy VPNs |
| Multi-Agent Panes | Deep Herdr live drawer integration & 1-tap takeover | Unsupported; single raw terminal only |
| Connection Roaming (Mosh) | Native Mosh roaming; survives Wi-Fi/5G switches and sleep | Drops instantly on network hiccups (standard SSH) |
| Terminal Engine | Rust core; zero webview lag on heavy output | Legacy Webview or slow JavaScript emulators |
| Privacy & Keys | Local-first; encrypted strictly on device (no forced cloud) | Often pushes cloud sync or proprietary accounts |

Frequently asked questions
- What is Moku?
- Moku is a pocket terminal and coding workspace built for the AI-coding era: a modern client for phones and desktops with a high-performance Rust terminal core, native Tailcat zero-config private networking, Herdr multi-agent live management, and 1-tap resume for AI coding sessions like Claude Code and Codex. Your servers and agents, in your pocket.
- How does Moku compare to traditional SSH clients like Termius, Blink Shell, or Prompt? Is it a Termius alternative?
- Yes. Moku is a modern, local-first Termius alternative engineered specifically for AI coding agents and mobile vibecoding. While traditional clients like Termius, Blink Shell, and Prompt focus on manual command entry and push cloud sync, Moku automates developer agent workflows: 1) Auto-detects and 1-tap resumes 12+ AI coding CLIs (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode, Aider, etc.); 2) Native Mosh roaming so terminal connections never drop across Wi-Fi/5G handoffs and elevator rides; 3) Embedded Tailcat mesh networking to reach private machines without public IPs; 4) High-performance Rust terminal core with zero webview lag; 5) Strictly local-first privacy with no mandatory cloud account or telemetry.
- How does Tailcat private networking work? Does it need root?
- No root is needed! Tailcat is Tailscale’s open-source userspace networking utility. On your remote machine, simply run
tailcat --serve=22to generate a short token. Paste it into Moku’s connection sheet, and Moku dials your host’s sshd over an encrypted peer-to-peer link. No open ports, no public IP, and no router configuration. - What is Herdr and how does Moku integrate with it?
- Herdr is an agent orchestration tool that runs multiple background agent panes (like pi, grok, codex). When Herdr is active on your host, Moku automatically detects all open panes and lists them in your drawer. You can monitor their progress in real-time or take over interactive control with one tap.
- Which AI coding CLIs does Moku detect?
- A dozen and counting: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Aider, Agy (Antigravity), Qoder, MiniMax Code, Oh My Pi, Trae, Code Buddy, Kimi, and Grok. Moku parses their local session data to let you pick up conversations right where you left off.
- How fast and responsive is the terminal?
- Moku completely replaces webview emulators with a custom Rust terminal engine and direct memory rendering, measured at 2.1× the ANSI parsing throughput of common baseline emulators. Massive log streams and continuous output render smoothly without UI freeze or frame drops, providing an ultra-responsive experience on phones.
- Do my sessions survive bad networks? Does Moku support Mosh roaming?
- Yes. Moku natively integrates the Mosh protocol alongside SSH. When you switch between Wi-Fi and 5G cellular data or pass through elevator and subway dead zones, your terminal seamlessly roams and reconnects without dropping your session or terminating running commands and active AI agent tasks.
- How is privacy and security handled?
- Moku is strictly local-first. Your server addresses, passwords, SSH private keys, and session histories are encrypted and stored solely on your own device. Nothing ever passes through any proprietary cloud servers.
- What does Moku cost?
- Free to download. Everything shipping today stays free forever; an optional Pro subscription unlocks new advanced features as they arrive. No ads, no accounts, no tracking.
- Is Moku open source?
- Not yet — Moku is proprietary today, with a public commitment to open-source the codebase when the GitHub repository reaches 10,000 stars.
- How do I install Moku on iPhone?
- Moku is live on the App Store — note it is not listed in mainland China yet, so there you need a non-CN Apple ID. You can also join the public TestFlight beta via the link on this page (install Apple’s free TestFlight app first).
