Termato is the modern way to run and manage terminal sessions — on your laptop, your phone, or both at once. Spin up sessions on the fly, resume any of them in one tap with full context, and pick up exactly where you left off from whatever device is in your hand. Pair it with Claude Code for the full power of AI coding in your pocket — or use it with any CLI or AI tool you like.

This is the heart of Termato: the terminal session you started at your desk is the same one waiting in your pocket — no setup, no syncing, no thinking about it.
- Hand off mid-thought. Start working in a session on your desktop, get up to leave, and carry straight on from your phone. Your place is exactly where you left it.
- Queue and walk away. Line up follow-up messages from your phone, close the app, and put it away. Termato keeps your queue on your own machine and fires each one automatically as the current turn finishes — your work keeps moving while you don’t have to.
- One workspace, every device. Desktop and mobile are both first-class and always in sync. There’s no stripped-down “mobile version” — it’s the whole thing, on a phone.
Termato’s terminal is the fastest, most capable, most user-friendly terminal across every device — and, unusually, it’s genuinely a pleasure to use on a phone.
- Desktop and phone at once, perfectly in sync.
- No mangled wrapping. No reflow chaos. A modern rendering engine keeps every line crisp and readable at any width, on any screen — the cross-device terminal problems you’re used to simply aren’t there.
- Resume in one tap, with full context — reopen any session and it’s exactly as you left it, even weeks later.
- New sessions on the fly, whenever you need one.
- Run whatever you want in it — Claude Code, Codex, another AI CLI, or just your shell. The terminal is yours; Termato makes it portable.
Work across as many terminals as you like, grouped by project and instantly findable. Jump between hundreds of sessions without losing track of a single one — from any device, all kept tidy and in order.
Run Claude Code in your terminal exactly the way you do today — that’s the familiar route, and it’s fully supported. When you’d rather have something more visual, Termato also gives you a clean, mobile-friendly chat interface over Claude Code: the same subscription underneath, wrapped in a polished UI that’s a genuine pleasure to use on a phone. Live in the terminal, live in the chat, or move between them whenever you like.
Prefer to stay in the terminal? Stay there — the chat is an option, never a requirement.
Every live preview stays tied to the chat or terminal workspace it belongs to, so what you’re looking at always matches what you’re working on. And when you pair Termato with an AI agent, it can open the preview for you, in the right workspace — set up and waiting for your review when you come back, instead of a backgrounded CLI suddenly throwing a browser window in front of whatever else you’re doing.
Termato slips in alongside your existing setup. Use Claude Code inside Termato or outside it; Termato never touches, reconfigures, or interferes with your configuration. There’s nothing to migrate and nothing to undo. (Context compaction and management are handled by Claude Code itself — Termato stays out of the way.)
Privacy and security aren’t a feature in Termato — they’re the foundation. The architecture is built so your work never has to be trusted to anyone but you.
- No middleman. No Termato server. Your code, your sessions, and your history never pass through us — there is nothing in the middle to intercept, log, or breach. We couldn’t see your data if we wanted to, because it never reaches us.
- Straight to the source. When you use AI, requests go directly to your provider under your own account — no extra hop, no broker, no copy kept anywhere.
- Reachable from anywhere — but only by you. Open your workspace from any device through your own private endpoint, while your machine exposes no inbound ports for anyone to find or scan. The encrypted tunnel only ever reaches out — the public internet can never reach in.
- A serious front door. Everything sits behind a hardened login wall with brute-force protection, cryptographically signed sessions, and optional IP allow-listing — for the app and your live previews alike.
- Runs only on hardware you control. No cloud, no telemetry, no analytics.
- Live previews of the apps you build, right next to your terminal — in a built-in browser, on any device.
- A fast, polished editor with tabs and a markdown toolbar.
- Voice input and usage at a glance.
- Build anything. Python apps, web apps, scripts, APIs — whatever you’d build with Claude Code, you can build here. Import a folder, clone a repo, or start from scratch, and Termato works out how to run it; anything visual, like a website or web app, renders live in the built-in browser.
- A UI that’s quick, fluid, and a genuine pleasure to use on every screen.
One line to install. Termato sets up everything for you — its own runtime, free ports, and secure remote access — and asks only two quick things: a username (the personal subdomain you’ll open Termato at) and a password (your private login). Then you’re in.
git clone https://github.com/AlienFireman/termato-app.git ~/.termato && bash ~/.termato/install.shTermato is self-hosted and self-contained: it bundles its own runtime, picks free ports, configures a private reverse proxy and the encrypted tunnel, and runs under pm2 with start-on-boot — all without touching the rest of your system. Works on Debian/Ubuntu and macOS.
You get the full power of Termato with no AI subscription at all — every terminal, preview, and cross-device feature works out of the box. Only the AI chat interface needs a Claude Code CLI and an Anthropic account (support for Codex and other AI subscriptions is coming soon).
See INSTALL.md for details.
Termato keeps itself current — you’ll be notified when a new version is ready, and updating is a single click. No terminal, no reinstalling.
