Real Terminal Proof
Inspected from actual command line sessions
See how ConnectSSH manages workspaces, runs local environment checks, and coordinates secure remote terminal connections on your hardware.
Continuity Path
One local workspace. Three access modes.
The design connects your desktop workspace directly to persistent server state running locally on macOS.

Stay Alive in tmux
Detach, close the window, or leave your desk. The underlying tmux session keeps running your active development servers and tools.

Continue from Phone
SSH into your own Mac over your trusted local or remote network path, then run the utility command to resume where you left off.
Security Boundary
ConnectSSH does not manage your SSH secrets
Your credentials stay in your own custody. You connect to your own Mac through your established SSH configuration. ConnectSSH coordinates local tmux workspaces, browser preview panels, and the remote terminal command sequence without intercepting your private keys.

FAQ
Technical architecture questions
Understand the security boundaries and engineering choices driving ConnectSSH.
How does ConnectSSH handle my SSH keys?
It does not interact with them. ConnectSSH is not an authentication provider and does not create, store, or manage private keys, SSH passwords, or authorized user credentials. Your existing security remains untouched.
Do I need to install any custom phone app?
No. There is no custom mobile application required. You can use standard terminal software like Termius, Blink, or Prompt to connect to your own Mac, then execute the utility command to hook back into your session.
Does this tool replace tmux?
No. The tmux utility acts as the core persistence engine. ConnectSSH packages this functionality inside a tailored desktop workspace shell designed for macOS with browser preview panes and terminal handoff paths.
How can I get access to the preview?
The preview remains invitation only while packaging, signing, and initial local evaluation are completed. Submit your request using the waitlist links to be notified when slots become available.
