AnchorX: Remote Terminal

AnchorX turns your iPhone into a window onto the dev sessions running on your own servers — and keeps them alive when you walk away.

Connect over SSH, start Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Aider, or a plain shell, and your session survives everything: closing the app, locking your phone, losing signal. Come back hours later and pick up exactly where you left off.

Built for developers who run real work on real machines — homelabs, VPSs, workstations — and want that work in their pocket.

WHY ANCHORX

• Sessions that survive. Persistence lives on your server (tmux), not in a fragile socket. Disconnect freely — your tools keep working.
• Continue from your desktop. Sessions you start on your computer appear in the app automatically. One tap and you're back inside.
• Any tool, together. One session hosts several tools side by side — switch with a tap; each keeps its context. Add your own commands.
• Know when you're needed. Optional notifications ping your iPhone when a tool finishes or needs input. You review every change setup makes on your server — and only minimal events are ever sent, never terminal contents.
• A real terminal. Six themes, adjustable type, smooth scrollback, one-tap copy & paste, Ctrl-key bar, snippets, hardware-keyboard friendly.
• Your files, included. Browse, edit, export and preview files over SFTP — free for everyone.
• Your servers, your keys. Direct SSH to machines you control. No account. Keys are generated on device, stay in the Keychain, protected by Face ID.

FREE VS PRO

Free gives you the full core: one server, one active session, the complete terminal, file manager and notifications. AnchorX Pro (a simple monthly subscription) unlocks unlimited servers and sessions, Docker container shells, live server monitoring (CPU, memory, disk) and SSH port forwarding.

Requires a server you can reach over SSH, with tmux installed.
