The tmux quick row
tmux keeps your work alive between connections — it’s non-negotiable. The hard part on a phone is typing the prefix (Ctrl-B) on a touch keyboard. TermRover puts the common tmux commands on a row right above the keyboard — one tap each.
Tap c for a new window, " or % to split, z to zoom the focused pane, and d to detach. TermRover detects your prefix per host, so there’s nothing to configure.
The session picker
Tap the tmux button to bring up the session picker, switch to another session is just one tap away.
Mark favourite sessions and re-order the list so the ones you reach for most stay at the top.
Mouse mode & Scrolling
In tmux, mouse mode has to be on before you can scroll through history.
Tap the mouse button to enable it — the key lights up amber when mouse mode is active, so you always know whether it’s on or off.
Then swipe up and down to scroll through your terminal.
Pick a theme that’s easy on the eyes
Working at night? A harsh, bright terminal in a dark room is hard on the eyes. Open the theme picker and choose something calmer.
The whole app follows along — terminal and keyboard bar reskin together. Pick what you can look at for hours and stay in it.
My favourite theme at night: Gruvbox Dark.
Send image to your agent
When an agent needs to see what you’re looking at, send it an image — the awkward things most mobile terminals won’t let you do easily.
Tap Attach and pick a screenshot from your phone. Tap the image to add drawings and annotate where your agent should pay attention.
You can attach multiple images. TermRover uploads them over the same SSH connection and drops each file path straight into your prompt.

Talk instead of typing
Sometimes you just don’t want to type on a phone. Tap the mic and talk — your words land in a normal, editable field.
If it mishears a word, tap in and fix it before sending. Dictation runs on-device.
Your localhost, on your phone
When an agent spins up a dev server on the box, forward its port over SSH and open it right in the app. Open a new tab, choose Port forward, and enter the port — say 3000.
The tab shows ⇄ :3000. Tap Open in browser and your localhost loads in-app — hot reload and all.
