# Pocketmux

> Pocketmux is the mobile app companion to the open-source pmux CLI. Together they provide secure remote tmux access from a phone: pmux runs on your computer as a transparent tmux proxy, and the Pocketmux app (iOS and Android) connects directly to it over an end-to-end encrypted, peer-to-peer WebRTC DataChannel. The signaling server is zero-knowledge — it never sees terminal content, session metadata, or activity.

Key facts:
- The pmux CLI, agent, signaling server, and wire protocol are free and open source (MIT): https://github.com/ShiftinBits
- The Pocketmux mobile app is a paid companion: $4.99/year (early adopter pricing), no accounts, no ads, no tracking
- Authentication uses device-bound Ed25519 keys — no passwords, OAuth, or email
- Device pairing uses a one-time QR code and X25519 key exchange; the pairing secret never touches the server
- Terminal data is encrypted end-to-end with DTLS; an encrypted TURN relay is used only as fallback
- Availability: United States and Canada (App Store and Google Play)
