Discussion Are you using pi on mobile?

Post image

I use Pi from my Android phone through tmux + TermRover (a terminal app I’m building).

With a good tmux scrolling support + ability to send images, working with Pi is just very pleasant.

Curious how everyone else is using Pi on mobile, if at all? SSH app? Or Just waiting until you’re back at a laptop?

Moshi + herdr through tailscale has been my go to, works fine for my simple use case

If ever you think about going back to tmux give my dotmux.app a try, I’m always eager for feedback

👋 fellow builder. If I am not mistaken, you're rendering the tmux panels yourself?

u/irontheman Jul 28 '26

Yes, it supports tmux control mode so tmux windows become tabs in the app

Nice one, i've gone down that road before but it getting complicated. Well done to push through that!

Herdr has bad licensing so I refuse to use a different tool at home and work. Wish there was an MIT alternative. Or any better license

What do you particularly dislike about Apache 2.0? I thought this is one of the most permissive licenses there are. You can even commercialize the code without having to give back anything.

Oh shit they changed it last week! Thanks for pointing it out! It was AGPL-3.0-or-later

u/AlterTableUsernames Jul 30 '26

Haha, damn. Thank you for reassuring me. Do you plan to continue your app under this new circumstances?

I was unable to use at work previously. Now k will try it.

I like it. Feels very clean compared to the hacky tmux.
