What it does
AFK streams local terminal sessions to your phone or browser without SSH, VPN, or inbound access to your computer. Supervise Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, builds, logs, tests, deploys, and shell sessions from anywhere. Includes E2EE terminal I/O, quick session switching, speech-to-text, 120 FPS GPU-accelerated mobile rendering, dynamic frame rate for battery life, and a Ghostty-vt WASM + WebGPU web terminal.

AFK is a native, GPU-accelerated SSH terminal for iOS and Android. Connect directly to your servers without routing SSH through AFK.
AFK is a direct-SSH terminal for iOS and Android. Connect to your servers, run real work, and carry active sessions with you—without routing SSH through AFK. AFK uses Ghostty’s terminal engine underneath a native mobile interface, with GPU-accelerated rendering for responsive input and dense terminal output. AFK renders with Metal on iOS and OpenGL ES on Android, giving both platforms a GPU-accelerated terminal backed by the same Ghostty engine. Special keys, a configurable command grid, and hardware-keyboard workflows built for a small screen. Terminal themes, fonts, sizing, feedback, and per-host behavior without turning the app into a toy. Open multiple named terminals and move between…from getafk.dev

TermlyNov 2025 · termly.dev · ▲82Hey HN! I'm one of the developers of Termly. Problem: I love using Claude Code for development, but being chained to my laptop all day wasn't working. SSH + terminal emulators felt clunky for interactive AI coding sessions. Solution: Built a WebSocket relay that mirrors your AI coding session to mobile with zero-knowledge E2E encryption. How it works: 1. npm install -g @termly-dev/cli 2. termly start (wraps your AI tool) 3. Scan QR code with mobile app 4. Your session syncs in real-time, encrypted end-to-end Tech stack: • Open source CLI (MIT licensed) - inspect the code yourself •…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Parallel agents, diff reviewer, and multi-model comparisons

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
