About TermRover
TermRover is a native SSH + Mosh terminal optimized for working with tmux on iPhone and Android. Browser-style tabs, one-tap prefix actions, and scrolling all just work. The tmux prefix, usually Ctrl-b, is awkward on a touchscreen. Scrolling is worse: it usually requires mouse mode and changes to .tmux.conf, with no clear indication whether it is enabled., tapping the terminal should open the keyboard, and sending a screenshot to a coding agent. It immediately made sense for a phone: SSH can drop as you move between networks, while Mosh keeps the terminal working.
About Trace
A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
