Most of the time my coding agent works on its own — but every so often it needs me, and rarely just a yes/no: review a plan and send it back, sign off on finished work, or capture an idea before it's gone. That used to pin me to the desk. handmux puts the same live tmux session into my phone's browser (real panes, zero install), pushes the moment an agent needs a decision, and lets me approve with a thumb — then the session is right there when I sit back down. Free & open-source. Would love your feedback on what would make it replace the desk for those in-between moments.

Loving the tmux handoff idea, this feels like the missing piece for remote coding. One thing that would make it a daily driver for me: persistent cloud sync of the idea pad and recent session history, so I can capture a thought on my phone during a commute and have it waiting on the laptop when I open it at home.

@necdetozya55828 Thanks a lot for your recognition! The great versatility of tmux is a core reason why we built our remote terminal solution around it.
The local idea pad function is fully available for you to try out right now. We haven’t rolled out cloud sync yet because we use a direct device-to-device connection between your phone and laptop, which keeps your data fully private and secure.
We do plan to develop cloud sync support down the line. Even without cloud sync for the time being, any notes you jot down on your phone during your commute can be sent straight to your laptop for viewing.

The handoff between desktop and phone tmux sessions is such a thoughtful detail, makes the "pick up anywhere" promise actually feel real instead of gimmicky.

@baskapanad54699 Thanks! We also added automatic snapshot recovery for Tmux sessions starting from version 0.18.0. You can quickly restore your previous sessions even after restarting your computer, feel free to give it a try.

the live tmux sync between desktop and phone is genuinely clever, not just a wrapper. love that you kept it self-hosted and AGPL instead of chasing a SaaS play.

@abdulsamet2lqg Thank you for your kind words. This remote coding tool was originally built solely for my own use. After developing it, I realized it’s broadly applicable and solves a common pain point for many people, so I decided to open-source it rather than turn it into a commercial product. Of course, more developers are welcome to join in its development together.
