Termphin vs CodeAgents Mobile

CodeAgents Mobile is a chat app for an AI agent - OpenCode today, Claude Code before it - that works on your Linux servers over SSH, with skills, MCP and server provisioning. Termphin is an SSH client: you get the real terminal and run whichever agent you like, and the shell keeps running when you disconnect.

Which one is for you

Pick Termphin if you want

  • Your agent, your way

    Run Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode or anything else exactly as you would from a laptop.

  • A real terminal

    Full-screen programs, tabs, split view, snippets and a key toolbar for when you need the machine itself.

  • Sessions that survive

    Termphin's open-source agent keeps the shell running when you lock your phone or lose signal.

Pick CodeAgents Mobile if you want

  • An agent in an app

    Projects keep their own context, chat history and servers. Skills and MCP servers extend what the agent can do.

  • New servers from the phone

    Provision a DigitalOcean or Hetzner machine with SSH keys set up for you.

  • Recurring work

    Give the agent a regular task and it reports back.

Using both

  1. CodeAgents for chat tasks

    Keep it for skills-driven tasks you want to hand off in plain language.

  2. Termphin for the terminal

    Use Termphin when you want to see and drive the session yourself.

  3. Same servers

    Both reach your servers over SSH, so the same key works for both.

Try Termphin

A free SSH client whose sessions survive a dropped connection.
