One command to start streaming. Open the link on any device. The server never sees your data.
Open that URL on your phone, tablet, or any browser. Type in it — keystrokes hit the real PTY.
The problem
What do you do?
SSH from your phone? Every iOS SSH app looks like 2008. And you need port forwarding or a VPN first.
Screen share? View-only. Compression artifacts. A third party watches your raw screen.
Leave it running and hope? Come back to a failed build, a hung process, or a prompt that's been waiting 45 minutes for your input.
Or
$ anyterm run "npm run dev"20 minutes later. On the train.
A test broke. You see it live, fix the code, restart the process. All from your phone. Every keystroke is encrypted end-to-end and hits the real PTY on your Mac.
Features
Argon2id key derivation, X25519 key exchange, XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption. The relay server is zero-knowledge by design.
Type in the browser — encrypted keystrokes travel to the real PTY. Full interactive shell, not view-only.
Preview your dev server in a tab right next to the terminal. Forward any local port through the encrypted tunnel.
Install the daemon on any server. Start sessions from your browser. No SSH keys, no VPN, no firewall rules.
Virtual keyboard with Ctrl, Esc, arrow keys. Pinch-to-zoom. Touch-optimized. Works on any phone or tablet.
Zero knowledge
The server is a zero-knowledge relay. It routes ciphertext. Audit every line.
Not just a terminal
Forward local ports through the encrypted tunnel. Your AI agent spins up a dev server — you see the result in a tab right next to the terminal.

Daemon mode
