QuickTUI: AI Agent Terminal

Your AI coding agents, within reach of any screen.

QuickTUI is the iPhone and iPad app for your self-hosted server. Kick off Claude Code, Codex, or any long-running terminal job — then walk away. Your session stays live on the server, and you can check in from wherever you are. Free for one server, with a direct connection by default — your code never touches our servers. This version adds a dedicated Chat mode to talk to your agents directly, and Relay to reach your server from anywhere.

CHAT WITH YOUR AGENTS — NEW

Skip the terminal when you don't need it — message your AI coding agent like a conversation. Every agent session shows up in one list with unread badges, so you see who needs you at a glance. When an agent stops to ask for approval, answer right from chat and it keeps going. Pin the sessions you care about, attach a file, or drop into the editor for a longer message. Works with Claude, Codex, and opencode.

REACH YOUR SERVER FROM ANYWHERE — NEW

The new Relay connection gets you in even when a direct link won't — behind NAT, on a locked-down network, no public IP, no port forwarding. Auto mode tries a direct connection first and falls back to Relay on its own, so you just connect and go.

ALWAYS ATTACHED

Open the app and your session is already there — output intact, cursor right where you left it. No reconnect ritual, no scrolling back through logs. Just pick up and keep going.

REACH IN FROM ANYWHERE

Your agent hit a confirm prompt. You're on the subway. Attach, approve, detach — 10 seconds, and it keeps going without you. Esc, Tab, Ctrl, arrow keys, and all your custom shortcuts are one tap away.

BUILT FOR THE TERMINAL

Fully customizable toolbar so the keys you actually use are always in reach. D-pad overlay for cursor navigation. Clipboard history you can search and reuse. Custom shortcut macros, organized in folders. Multiline editor for when you need to compose something longer before sending. Text selection and copy, built right in.

FREE TO USE, PRO FOR MORE

Download free and connect to one server — every feature included: terminal, chat, sessions, file browser, themes, and shortcuts. Upgrade to QuickTUI Pro with a one-time purchase to unlock unlimited server profiles. The optional Relay connection is part of QuickTUI Cloud, a separate subscription. If you bought the app before it became free, you're already Pro — just tap Restore Purchase in Settings or the Paywall.

THEMES THAT LOOK RIGHT

14 terminal color schemes to pick from — Catppuccin, Tokyo Night, Gruvbox, Solarized, Dracula, Nord, Rose Pine, GitHub, and more. Separate dark and light themes, auto-switched with your system. Font, size, line height, cursor style — all yours to tune.

SETUP IN SECONDS

Run quicktui-server --qrcode on your server, scan it with the app, and you're in. No token copy-paste, no IP typing. Prefer to set things up step by step? The built-in wizard walks you through it.

BROWSE FILES TOO

Need to check a log or grab a file? The built-in file browser is off by default and only starts listing files after you enable it. On macOS, the QuickTUI server may also need Files & Folders or Full Disk Access after opt-in. Direct connections do not send terminal or file content to QuickTUI.

YOUR SERVER, YOUR DATA

Token-based auth, stored in the iOS Keychain. Your code, your keys, your API quotas — all stay on your own machine. Direct connections require no QuickTUI account; an account is only needed for optional Cloud features. No telemetry. On a direct connection there is no third party in the loop — Relay is strictly optional.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Install the QuickTUI server on your Mac, Linux, or WSL machine — one-line script at https://quicktui.ai

2. Scan the QR code or enter your server URL and token.

3. Connect. Your agent is already there.
