How to chat with a coding agent in native phone chat with Termish

Use a phone-native chat interface for Codex, Claude Code or another supported CLI on a remote host.

Authorization notice. Termish is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Credentials. The agent's login or API provider settings live on the remote host, so check who can access that account before you connect from a phone.

Remote script. Missing CLIs can be installed from the app, which runs installation steps on the remote host.

Who it is forA developer who wants a conversational interface to a coding agent on a server, without working in a raw terminal.

The problemTerminal-based agents are hard to follow on a small screen, especially when streaming replies, tool calls and file attachments are involved.

The outcomeThe developer holds a chat with an agent running on the remote host, attaches files, stops tasks and resumes conversations from the phone.

What you need first

  • An Android 8.0+ phone or an iOS device with macOS and Xcode for building
  • A reachable development machine or server with SSH access (Mosh also needs UDP and mosh-server)
  • Login credentials or a private key for that remote host
  • For builds: JDK 17, the Android SDK and Rust via rustup

Steps

  1. Add the remote host in Hosts and connect over SSH.
  2. Confirm the remote host has the agent's own login or a supported API provider configuration.
  3. Open the host menu and choose Agents, then select Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode or Pi.
  4. Send a task, attach a file if needed, and follow streaming replies and tool calls.
  5. Stop a task or resume an earlier conversation from the chat list.

Prompt for your agent

Using the farlume/termish README, list the setup needed to use the Agents entry with <agent name> on host <host>. Expected output: a short list of prerequisites and the steps to start a chat. Verify that the list states that the remote host needs the agent's own login or a supported API provider configuration.

Caveat. Agent chat is an alternative to the Herdr terminal workspace, not a replacement, and the README says approvals depend on each agent's protocol.
