    Trustmux – Lightweight Secure Daemon for Mobile Shell Access▲6

    I'm Dustin Kirkland, author of Byobu[1]. I built Trustmux[2] to solve a personal problem: secure, encrypted access to my tmux[3] and Byobu sessions from my phone, without the pain of other mobile shell approaches. I run long-lived shells, Claude, and other sessions in the background on my workstation, and I needed to check in from mobile — securely, with real TLS certificates and Tailscale-backed privacy, not some insecure workaround. Why not SSH / Mosh / Claude Mobile? - SSH/Mosh: Synchronous connection state is brutal on mobile. Latency, network handoffs between WiFi and…

    Relaymux, a tmux-based meta-harness for local coding agents▲9

    Hey HN, There’s been a lot of interest recently in meta-harnesses, loops, and multi-agent orchestration. Obviously, there are already a lot of good tools: Conductor, cmux, the native Codex / Claude Code apps, etc. For my own use cases, I’ve felt that the orchestration layer tends to feel overengineered. I mostly wanted a simple local harness (i.e Pi) for running and tracking CLI agents with the ability to hop in (via tmux). Relaymux is my opinionated attempt at that. A few design principles: - The frontend is just Telegram / iMessage / CLI. If I want more visibility, I hop…

    Vibe Remote – Code from your bed or the park with Claude Code/Codex▲7

    I built Vibe Remote because I wanted to code from my bed or the park without lugging a laptop around. With tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini-cli, we don't need a full IDE for every task anymore. Vibe Remote turns your phone into a powerful remote console. Why it’s more than just a chat: * AI Agent Hub: Zero-config support for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. * Built-in Web Preview: View your localhost services directly inside the app. Essential for UI debugging. * Full Session Management: Start a task on your Mac, grab your phone, and monitor progress from a cafe. * Dev Ops: Manage…
