Description
Muxly is a native tmux client for iPhone and iPad. Run Claude Code, Codex or any long job inside tmux on your server, close the app, and it keeps running. When you come back, Muxly reattaches: tmux windows become native tabs and panes are one tap away. Optional end-to-end encrypted bell notifications tell you when an agent finishes or needs input. Direct SSH to your own servers, no Muxly account. SFTP, a file editor, port forwarding, hardware keyboard support and much more.

Could you build this?
Partial While an iOS terminal wrapper is doable, building a rock-solid native tmux protocol client with background push handling, terminal emulation (VT100/xterm), and low-latency SSH/custom daemon reconnection requires deep systems-level knowledge.
What it would actually take: The app needs a custom Swift/SwiftUI iOS frontend combined with an embedded libssh2 client and an advanced terminal emulation library (such as SwiftTerm) that implements the tmux control mode protocol (-C). The backend requires either direct SSH tunneling with persistent daemon handling or a lightweight server relay agent, along with APNs integration and cryptographic key exchange for end-to-end encrypted notifications. Expertise in Unix terminal protocols, byte-stream parsing, and robust iOS networking/background execution constraints is essential.
