Could you build this?
Partial A basic mobile SSH client is achievable, but creating persistent session management that reliably maintains terminal state (like mosh/tmux) across network transitions requires custom low-level protocol design.
What it would actually take: The app needs a custom remote daemon (written in Go or Rust) that decouples the PTY session from the transport layer, similar to Mosh or tmux, combined with an iOS/Android terminal emulator (e.g., libvterm). The hard part is handling state synchronization, continuous screen-buffer diffing for full-screen curses apps (vim, htop), and UDP/TCP roaming across cellular/Wi-Fi handoffs without drops. It requires low-level networking, POSIX pseudo-terminal handling, and protocol engineering expertise.
