About Skippr: SSH Terminal for AI
Run Claude Code, Codex, and any terminal AI agent from your iPhone or iPad. Skippr is a fast SSH + mosh terminal built for coding on the go — start an agent on your server, close the app, and pick the session back up exactly where you left it. BUILT FOR AI-ASSISTED CODING • Guided setup: Skippr generates a setup prompt your agent runs on the host — connected in minutes • Push notifications when your agent needs input or finishes a task • Sessions survive app switches, sleep, and network changes thanks to mosh • Tabs auto-rename to match what's running, just like your desktop terminal A REAL TERMINAL, NOT A TOY • Full-featured terminal with true color, mouse support, and search (Cmd+F) • Smooth touch scrolling in TUIs, text selection, and tappable links • Works with tmux, vim, htop, and every CLI tool you already use • External keyboard shortcuts for iPad workflows MORE THAN A TERMINAL • Built-in file browser and code editor with syntax highlighting • Git diff viewer for reviewing your agent's changes before you commit • Image and video preview right from the file tree • Automatic port forwarding: type localhost:3000 and preview your dev server CONNECT YOUR WAY • Plain SSH or mosh — every feature works on both • Password or key auth, multiple hosts, instant reconnect • Works great over Tailscale and other VPNs No account. No cloud relay. Your connection goes straight from your device to your server.
