Moku

The SSH workspace for the AI-coding era

Leave the desk.
Keep the session.

Moku is an SSH workspace for phones and desktops. Resume Claude Code or Codex with one tap, reach machines that have no public IP over Tailcat, watch every Herdr agent from the drawer — and keep the shell alive when the network flips. All on a Rust terminal core built for mobile.

ZERO-CONFIG PRIVATE NETWORK

No public IP? One command and you’re in.

Moku embeds Tailcat, the userspace networking tool from Tailscale’s open-source stack. Run tailcat --serve=22 on the host, paste the short token into Moku, and the two ends establish an encrypted peer-to-peer connection — falling back to DERP relays only when they must. No port forwarding, no relay VPS, no root.

AGENT ORCHESTRATION

Every agent pane, live in your drawer.

Herdr runs several agents side by side on one host — pi exploring, grok implementing, codex chasing a root cause. Moku lists every open pane at the top of the drawer with its current task. Peek in read-only without disturbing it, or take the keyboard with one tap when it needs a prompt. No tmux window juggling on a phone.

CODING WORKSPACES

Pick up exactly where your agent left off.

On connect, Moku scans the host for on-disk projects and sessions from 12+ coding CLIs — Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Qoder, Trae, Kimi, Grok, MiniMax Code and more. Pick the project, tap the session, and it reopens inside a real terminal with its full context. Linux, macOS and Windows hosts alike.

TERMINAL ENGINE

A terminal engine that respects the phone.

No webview. Moku’s Rust core parses ANSI at 2.1× the throughput of common emulators and paints a 10 MiB log burst in about 0.3 s. Native Mosh keeps the shell alive through Wi-Fi ↔ 5G handoffs and elevator rides. On iOS, the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen show your agent’s state through the mascot’s eyes — screen off, task still watched.

Built for how developers work today

Most SSH apps were finished before coding agents moved into the terminal. Moku was designed from day one around long-running agents watched from a phone. An SSH client connects you — Moku keeps you going.

Capability Moku Traditional SSH apps
AI Coding Workspaces Auto-detects 12+ CLIs; 1-tap resume Invisible; manual search for session IDs
Private Networking Embedded Tailcat private networking; paste token to connect Requires public IP, NAT port mapping, or heavy VPNs
Multi-Agent Panes Deep Herdr live drawer integration & 1-tap takeover Unsupported; single raw terminal only
Connection Roaming Mosh roaming; survives Wi-Fi/5G switches and sleep Drops instantly on network hiccups
Terminal Engine Rust core; zero webview lag on heavy output Legacy Webview or slow JavaScript emulators
Privacy & Keys Local-first; encrypted strictly on device Often pushes cloud sync or proprietary servers

Frequently asked questions

What is Moku?
Moku is a cross-platform SSH workspace built for the AI-coding era: a modern client for phones and desktops with a high-performance Rust terminal core, native Tailcat zero-config private networking, Herdr multi-agent live management, and 1-tap resume for AI coding sessions like Claude Code and Codex. Your remote agents, in your pocket.
How does Tailcat private networking work? Does it need root?
No root is needed! Tailcat is Tailscale’s open-source userspace networking utility. On your remote machine, simply run tailcat --serve=22 to generate a short token. Paste it into Moku’s connection sheet, and Moku dials your host’s sshd over an encrypted peer-to-peer link. No open ports, no public IP, and no router configuration.
What is Herdr and how does Moku integrate with it?
Herdr is an agent orchestration tool that runs multiple background agent panes (like pi, grok, codex). When Herdr is active on your host, Moku automatically detects all open panes and lists them in your drawer. You can monitor their progress in real-time or take over interactive control with one tap.
Which AI coding CLIs does Moku detect?
A dozen and counting: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Aider, Agy (Antigravity), Qoder, MiniMax Code, Oh My Pi, Trae, Code Buddy, Kimi, and Grok. Moku parses their local session data to let you pick up conversations right where you left off.
How fast and responsive is the terminal?
Moku completely replaces webview emulators with a custom Rust terminal engine and direct memory rendering, measured at 2.1× the ANSI parsing throughput of common baseline emulators. Massive log streams and continuous output render smoothly without UI freeze or frame drops, providing an ultra-responsive experience on phones.
Do my sessions survive bad networks?
Yes. Moku natively integrates Mosh, so when you switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data or pass through elevator dead zones, your terminal seamlessly reconnects without dropping your session or terminating running commands.
How is privacy and security handled?
Moku is strictly local-first. Your server addresses, passwords, SSH private keys, and session histories are encrypted and stored solely on your own device. Nothing ever passes through any proprietary cloud servers.
What does Moku cost?
Free to download. Everything shipping today stays free forever; an optional Pro subscription unlocks new advanced features as they arrive. No ads, no accounts, no tracking.
Is Moku open source?
Not yet — Moku is proprietary today, with a public commitment to open-source the codebase when the GitHub repository reaches 10,000 stars.
How do I install Moku on iPhone?
Moku is live on the App Store — note it is not listed in mainland China yet, so there you need a non-CN Apple ID. You can also join the public TestFlight beta via the link on this page (install Apple’s free TestFlight app first).
