display support icloud google drive sync for machine profiles star on github frequently asked questions everything you need to know to get the most out of trustmux what exactly is trustmux trustmux is a lightweight background daemon that runs on your workstation and exposes your tmux or byobu sessions as a progressive web app pwa accessible from any browser on your phone or tablet it talks directly to tmux via libtmux streams live output to your device and lets you send keystrokes back no ssh client needed no vpn configuration beyond tailscale do i need byobu or will plain tmux work plain tmux works great trustmux speaks to tmux directly byobu is completely optional that said if you already use byobu trustmux has first class support for byobu sessions profiles and status lines since it s built and maintained by the byobu author on ubuntu and debian trustmux ships inside the byobu package so installing byobu is the easiest path on macos or other platforms install via pip or homebrew alongside whichever tmux setup you already have what is tailscale and why is it required tailscale creates a private wireguard mesh between your devices your workstation your phone your laptop without opening any firewall ports trustmux binds to your tailscale ip and uses tailscale serve to provide https so your terminal is reachable from anywhere on your tailnet and nowhere else tailscale is free for personal use up to 3 users 100 devices install it on your workstation and your phone sign in with the same account and both devices appear on the same private network automatically even across nat mobile data and hotel wi fi what tmux version do i need tmux 1 5 or newer in practice most modern linux distributions ship tmux 3 x check with tmux v macos users can install a current tmux via brew install tmux how do i install the app on my phone run trustmux pair on your workstation it prints a short url and a 6 digit code valid for 60 seconds open the url in your phone s browser and enter the code to pair once paired add it to your home screen for a full screen app like experience on ios tap the share button then add to home screen on android tap the browser menu then add to home screen or install app it will launch without browser chrome just like a native app how do i navigate between sessions windows and panes swipe left or right on the terminal view to move between panes and windows a picker in the top bar shows your current session window and pane tap it to jump directly to any other one if you use byobu named windows and sessions appear by their byobu names how do i send keystrokes and commands from my phone tap the terminal view to focus it and bring up your phone keyboard type normally every keystroke is forwarded to the active tmux pane in real time an on screen toolbar provides one tap access to common keys that are awkward on mobile tab escape arrow keys and the tmux prefix ctrl b by default or f12 in byobu the pro tier coming soon adds full control character support ctrl c ctrl z ctrl d and others can i use trustmux when i m traveling or away from home yes that s one of the main use cases as long as both your workstation and your phone are connected to tailscale trustmux works anywhere on mobile data on a conference wi fi anywhere in the world tailscale handles nat traversal and roaming automatically so there s nothing extra to configure is my terminal data private and secure yes your terminal output travels directly from your workstation to your phone over your tailscale wireguard tunnel tls encrypted point to point nothing passes through a relay server or any trustmux infrastructure the pairing code expires in 60 seconds and is single use long lived tokens are stored locally in config trustmux and never leave your machines how does pairing work and how do i revoke access run trustmux pair to generate a one time 6 digit code valid for 60 seconds when your phone enters the code trustmux issues a long lived token stored on that device to revoke all paired devices at once run trustmux unpair this invalidates every token you can then re pair any device you want to keep why not just ssh from my phone ssh apps on phones work but they re awkward you need to manage keys each connection starts a fresh shell and if your connection drops you lose whatever was running with trustmux you re looking at a persistent tmux session that keeps running on your workstation regardless of network interruptions pick it up from your phone exactly where you left off running builds long logs ongoing processes without any reconnection ceremony trustmux also renders in a browser so pinch to zoom copy paste and accessibility features all work naturally on mobile the daemon stopped how do i restart it run trustmux start check its current status with trustmux status if you ran trustmux enable the daemon is registered to start automatically at login so a reboot will also bring it back to stop it manually run trustmux stop how does trustmux compare to mosh mosh is a roaming aware replacement for ssh it handles spotty mobile connections gracefully and predicts your keystrokes locally so the terminal feels snappy even on a high latency link it s great technology but it s still a connection to a remote shell if that connection breaks long enough your session can diverge and because mosh itself provides no multiplexing most people run mosh into a tmux session on the server anyway to get persistence trustmux is a different layer entirely rather than replacing ssh it replaces the phone client there is no ssh no mosh your phone s browser attaches directly to a tmux session that is already running on your workstation over your tailscale wireguard tunnel both approaches have prerequisites they re just different ones what mosh needs mosh server installed on each remote machine you connect to plus udp ports 60000 61000 open in the firewall if you ssh to machines you don t control that can be a real barrier what trustmux needs the trustmux daemon running on your workstation and tailscale installed on both your workstation and your phone these live entirely on your own devices but it s still real software to install and keep running browser not a terminal app trustmux renders in a pwa so pinch to zoom copy paste and your phone s accessibility features all work naturally mosh requires a dedicated terminal emulator app session persistence is built in both approaches benefit from tmux underneath but trustmux is designed around that model from the start you re always looking at the live state of a session that never stops local echo vs live output mosh s local prediction makes typing feel faster on laggy links trustmux streams real terminal output with no prediction over a tailscale tunnel this is typically fast enough that the difference is imperceptible if you love mosh for ssh access to remote servers keep using it trustmux doesn t replace that workflow what trustmux replaces is reaching for a mosh or ssh client on your phone just to peek at a build running on your own workstation security model point to point hardened pairing and 256 bit session tokens no cloud required brute force resistant pairing the 6 digit pairing code expires after 3 minutes and is invalidated after three wrong guesses regardless of how fast the guesses arrive an attacker has a 0 0003 chance of success per pairing window a new window requires the machine owner to run trustmux pair again ️ 256 bit session tokens after pairing trustmux issues a secrets token_urlsafe 32 session token 256 bits of cryptographically secure entropy validated with a constant time comparison to prevent timing attacks computationally impossible to brute force minimal network exposure in default mode the daemon binds only to your tailscale ip 100 x x x unreachable from the public internet or other local network devices the pairing endpoint is never exposed unless you explicitly run trustmux start direct tls everywhere traffic between your workstation and phone is tls encrypted end to end via tailscale serve in start direct mode a self signed certificate is generated automatically in start local mode the
