Live terminal streaming
Output appears on your phone as it happens, with full ANSI colors, Unicode and scrollback.
~/terminal
A real terminal, made for your thumb
Everything you expect from a desktop terminal, redesigned so it’s readable and fast on a phone.
Smart key bar
Esc, Tab, Ctrl, arrows, Ctrl+C and your own snippets, one tap above the keyboard.
Search output
Find an error message or URL in thousands of lines of scrollback instantly.
Tap to copy
Long-press to copy output, links and file paths, or share them to another app.
~/ai-agents
Designed around AI coding agents
CLI Setu recognizes when an agent is asking for permission or waiting for you, and makes answering effortless.
One-tap approvals
Permission prompts for file edits and shell commands become clear Approve / Deny cards.
Diff viewer
Review exactly what an agent changed, formatted for a small screen, before you approve.
Custom commands
Save prompts and commands you use often in your own command palette, and send them to the agent with one tap.
Works with every agent
Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, Aider, OpenCode and anything else that runs in a terminal.
~/notifications
Only interrupted when it matters
Walk away with confidence. Your phone tells you when there’s something to do.
Needs-input alerts
Know the moment an agent pauses for a decision, so it never sits idle waiting for you.
Task finished
Get notified when long builds, tests, deploys or agent runs complete.
Keyword watch
Set words like “error”, “failed” or “deployed” and get pinged when they appear.
Private previews
Hide notification content on the lock screen for sensitive projects.
~/sessions
Many sessions, many machines
Run several agents in parallel across projects and computers, and move between them with a swipe.
Multiple sessions
Keep a separate session for each project or agent and swipe between them.
Multiple computers
Pair your work laptop, home desktop and cloud servers, all from one app.
Persistent sessions
Sessions keep running on your computer when you close the app or lose signal.
Catch up on reconnect
Missed output syncs when you come back, so you never lose context.
~/security
Secure by default
Security isn’t an add-on. It’s how the bridge is built.
End-to-end encryption
Session data is encrypted on your computer and decrypted only on your paired phone.
QR key exchange
Pairing swaps device keys in person, by QR code. No passwords to leak.
App lock
Require Face ID, fingerprint or a PIN to open CLI Setu.
Instant revoke
Remove a lost or old device and its access ends immediately.
~/network
Works anywhere you have signal
The companion connects outbound, so there’s nothing to configure on your router or firewall.
No port forwarding
No SSH setup, no dynamic DNS and no VPN. Works behind NAT and firewalls.
Light on data
Text, not video. Comfortable on weak 4G, in-flight Wi-Fi and hotspots.
Battery friendly
Efficient streaming and quiet background behavior, so your phone lasts the day.
Cross-platform
Companion runs on macOS, Windows (incl. WSL) and Linux with Node.js 18 or newer.
See it on your own terminal.
Install the companion, scan once, and try every feature with your own agents and projects.
