One app for the terminal, files, ports, Android debugging and AI agents.
Help a friend remotely with a one-time code →
Esc, Ctrl, Tab and arrow keys sit above the keyboard. Open your Mac, PC or Linux server in seconds and pick up exactly where you left off.
Android only. Your phone becomes a test device for your computer or your AI agent through an encrypted tunnel, even when you are on a different network.
Add RoamTerm to Claude Code or another AI tool with one command. See what the agent runs, and cut its access with one tap when you want it to stop.
Reach a dev server, dashboard or local API running on your computer from your phone's browser. No 0.0.0.0, no tunnel service, no public URL.
Browse folders, upload photos and download build artifacts over the same encrypted connection, with no cloud in between.
View and control the screen of your Mac, Windows PC or Linux (X11) machine from the phone, over the same end-to-end encrypted link.
Pause a computer for an hour or until tomorrow morning. Phones are told first, then every connection closes and no new one is accepted until you resume.
Run one command on your computer or server. The agent runs in your own session, so your keychain and tools just work.
Open RoamTerm on your phone and scan the code the agent shows. The QR pins your computer's identity, so nobody can sit in the middle.
Tap your machine and you are in, with tmux sessions ready to continue. Reconnects are silent when your network changes.
Security
Your session is SSH from phone to computer. The relay only pairs the two sides and forwards ciphertext, so it cannot read what you type or see.
The QR code carries your computer's key, so nobody can sit in the middle.
Device keys live in the Secure Enclave or StrongBox and unlock with biometrics.
Both sides connect outward over port 443, or directly peer to peer. Nothing is exposed.
New phones need your approval on the computer. An account never grants access by itself.
A typical remote terminal setup needs a VPN or an open router port before you type a single command. RoamTerm removes that step.
| SSH app + VPN or open port | RoamTerm | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Install a VPN, forward a port or run a tunnel | Scan a QR code |
| Network | Inbound port or VPN on every device | Outbound 443 only, direct P2P when possible |
| Android debugging | Usually needs the same Wi-Fi or a USB cable | Remote ADB through the encrypted tunnel |
| AI agents | Usually not included | MCP for Claude Code, cut with one tap |
| Dev servers | Bind to 0.0.0.0 and expose the machine | Forward localhost, nothing exposed |
Pricing
Everything you need to try it on your own machine.
For several machines and the advanced tools.

The yearly plan includes a free trial in the stores.
No. The agent and the app both connect outward over port 443 to a relay that pairs them, or connect directly peer to peer when the network allows it. Nothing on your computer is exposed to the internet.
No. Your session is SSH from your phone to your computer. The relay forwards encrypted bytes and cannot read them.
No. You pair with a QR code and start. Signing in with Google or Apple is optional and only needed for sync and for using Pro on more than one device.
macOS, Windows and Linux, including headless Linux servers where pairing uses a code shown in the terminal.
On Android, RoamTerm talks to your phone's own debug service and carries it through an encrypted tunnel to localhost on your computer. It works without Wi-Fi and is limited to that computer.
Run claude mcp add roamterm -- roamterm mcp on your computer. AI access is opt-in per device and you can cut it with one tap in the app.
The price is shown in the App Store or Google Play for your country before you subscribe. Free includes one computer and the terminal.
iPhone, iPad, Android phones and Android tablets. Remote ADB is Android only.
It is a different setup for the same job. Other SSH clients usually need a VPN or an open port first; RoamTerm pairs by QR over an outbound relay and adds remote ADB, port forwarding and MCP for AI agents. You can keep using any SSH app you like.
Yes. The terminal attaches to your tmux sessions and keeps them alive when the phone sleeps or the network changes, so a long job or an AI agent keeps running.
Yes. Port forwarding opens a service on your computer's localhost, such as a dev server or dashboard, in your phone's browser through the encrypted link. You do not have to bind it to 0.0.0.0.
