Description
SSH that survives a locked phone, a lost signal or a switch to mobile data. A small agent holds the shell open on the server and puts you back on the same screen. htop and vim draw properly. SFTP, keys, snippets and tunnels included, free.

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.
