Terminal Sync (web)

Open a persistent shell on any device, detach, and reattach later from any browser or the app with the output replayed.

Where: /terminal
On this page

Open or reattach a terminal

“A persistent host shell — full ANSI/curses. Close the tab; it keeps running.”

  1. Under Open a terminal → Devices, press Open terminal next to a device (“Terminal attached”).
  2. To get back to a shell that is still running, press Reattach under Live sessions. Its scrollback is replayed so you see where you left off.

Toolbar

Copy
Copy selection — copies the selected terminal text.
Paste
Paste into shell — sends your clipboard as typing.
Detach
Leaves the shell running on the host and closes your view.

Tips

  • Full-screen programs such as vim, htop and tmux work.
  • When the shell exits you can be notified by Session Monitor — see Session Monitor.
  • Terminal Sync needs no screen capture and uses very little data, so it works well on poor links.
