Pling is a real SSH, Mosh and SFTP terminal for iPhone, iPad and Android, built for working with coding agents. Jump back into tmux or Zellij sessions, approve Claude Code's risky commands from a push notification, or describe a task and let the Command Agent run it. Plus push alerts from any script with one HTTP POST, live server monitoring, remote desktop and end-to-end encrypted sync. Free to start; Pling Pro unlocks the rest.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI, push alerts, and LLM command agent are vibe-codeable, but a real SSH/Mosh/SFTP terminal on mobile is hard. Mosh's roaming protocol and secure terminal handling need specialized networking and security work.
What it would actually take: Start from an existing terminal emulator component (such as xterm.js or SwiftTerm) and an SSH library, then add SFTP and push notification hooks. The hard parts are a correct, low-latency Mosh implementation and secure key and credential handling on iOS and Android. This takes a mobile developer experienced with networking and security, not just prompting.
