Your Mac terminal,
on your iPad & iPhone

Reach your Mac terminal from your iPad or iPhone, on Wi-Fi or through Tailscale. TermAway stays on your Mac. There is no TermAway cloud service, account or tracking.

Not just AI chat. Full terminal.

Run anything — Claude Code, git, docker, npm, vim, ssh. Your entire dev environment, in your hands.

Multi-Project Workflow

Frontend in one tab, backend in another, infra in a third. Manage complex projects with multiple sessions.

Sessions That Keep Running

Switch on persistence and your sessions live in tmux. Stop the server, reboot the Mac — a long build or a running agent is still there when you come back.

Private by Design

Self-hosted on your Mac. Reach it on your LAN, or over Tailscale's end-to-end encrypted network. No TermAway cloud, account or tracking.

Real Terminal Access

Not a wrapper. Full PTY with proper shell, environment variables, and tool support.

Touch Optimized

Special toolbar with Ctrl, Alt, Esc, Tab, and arrow keys. Built for touch.

Zero Config

Bonjour auto-discovery finds your Mac instantly. Install, connect, code.

Native Performance

SwiftTerm-powered with GPU rendering. Smooth scrolling, proper colors, feels native.

For devs who actually ship

You maintain real projects. Multiple repos, different branches, various environments. Your Mac is your workstation — TermAway lets you use it from anywhere.

  • Run Claude Code on your frontend while checking backend logs
  • Spin up docker, run tests, deploy — all from your iPad
  • Switch between feature branches without context switching
  • Your full dev environment, not a dumbed-down mobile version
