MuxPad — Native tmux terminal for Apple: Your real tmux sessions, native on iPad and iPhone

MuxPad attaches to the tmux session already running on your server and wraps it in a native iPad shell — native window switching, live session previews, bell notifications, full external-keyboard control, dual-pane SFTP, auto port-forwarding with in-app dev-server preview, and a git history graph. Close the app or switch to iPhone: the session lives on the server. One-time purchase, no subscription, no tracking. Requires tmux on the remote host.

Hi PH! I'm Dohyuk, a backend developer who kept fixing servers from the subway. Every iPad SSH app I tried treated tmux as a single scrollback screen. MuxPad treats the tmux session on your server as the source of truth — the app is just a really good native window into it. Quit the app, switch from iPad to iPhone mid-commute, and you're back exactly where you were. Honest scope note: it requires tmux on your server, and there's no local shell. That's deliberate — it keeps the app focused on people who live in tmux. I'd love feedback on what's missing for your workflow — especially around keyboards (we send every control byte: prefix, Meta, copy-mode) and the new auto port-forwarding preview.
