I Built a Mobile Terminal Around My herdr + Codex Workflow

Description and use

Termish merges SSH, AI agents, and remote screen into a single mobile app, letting developers quickly start tasks, review changes, and check UI without switching apps.

Problem

Developers need a mobile interface that integrates SSH, AI agents, file management, and remote screen viewing without sacrificing productivity.

Outcome

Termish streamlines mobile remote development by integrating SSH, AI agents, file handling, and remote screen viewing into a single app, reducing context switches and setup friction.

Workflow

• Connect to host via Termish
• Install missing tools (herdr, Mosh, agent CLI, remote‑screen) automatically
• Enter herdr terminal workspace
• Interact with AI agent (Codex, Claude Code, etc.) through terminal or native chat
• Upload screenshots or files; Termish inserts remote path into terminal
• Review Git diffs and run tests
• Open remote screen to verify UI changes
• Return to terminal to continue work

Evidence

Termish is both the product I am building and a tool I use to build it.

If the phone disconnects, I can keep tasks alive with server‑side tools such as herdr or tmux.
