relay-tty

Run terminal commands on your computer, access them from any browser.

Phone, tablet, laptop — whatever you have nearby. Sessions survive disconnects, multiple people can watch at once, and you don't need SSH or tmux.

Why relay-tty?

• Access your terminal from anywhere — start a command on your Mac, check on it from your phone
• No SSH, no tmux, no port forwarding — just relay bash and open a browser
• Sessions persist — disconnect and reconnect without losing output
• Share instantly — generate a read-only link or QR code for anyone to watch
• Mobile-first web UI — PWA with touch scrolling, scratchpad input, voice dictation
• Multiple views — full terminal, grid gallery, or side-by-side lanes

Quick Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ddrscott/relay-tty/main/install.sh | bash
