How to view and operate a remote desktop from your phone with Termish

Open a computer's graphical desktop in a floating window and use touch to check apps.

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

Credentials. Remote screen control gives direct access to the desktop, so use it only on machines you own or are authorized to operate.

Who it is forA developer or operator who needs to check a graphical app on a home or office computer while away from it.

The problemSome tasks need a visual desktop check, such as confirming an app's window or output, and a terminal alone cannot show that.

The outcomeThe user sees the remote screen on the phone and can use touch or a virtual mouse to operate desktop apps next to the terminal.

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. Open the host in Hosts and choose remote screen from its menu.
  2. Accept the screen service installation from the app if prompted.
  3. Open the floating window or switch to full screen.
  4. Use touch or the virtual mouse to check or operate a desktop app.
  5. Return to the terminal or Herdr workspace when finished.

Prompt for your agent

Using the farlume/termish README and its screen service guide, explain the requirements for viewing the remote screen of <host>. Expected output: a list covering the graphical session, the companion service and macOS recording consent. Verify that the list mentions that lock-screen capture is limited by the desktop's security policy.

Caveat. The README says lock-screen capture and control remain subject to the desktop's security policy, so it may not work on a locked computer.
