For Claude Code users
Your Mac in your pocket.
The iOS terminal that never disconnects. Purpose-built for Claude Code with resilient connections, native scroll, and voice input.
The first Eternal Terminal client for iOS
Everything you need to run Claude Code from anywhere.
Pocket was built because no existing iOS terminal handles Claude Code well. We solved the problems that matter.
Never disconnects
Eternal Terminal survives network changes, sleep mode, even airplane mode. Switch from WiFi to cellular mid-session — your terminal stays connected.
Native scroll
Swipe through Claude's output like any iOS app. Pan gestures for vim and tmux, native scrollback everywhere else. No more fighting with terminal clients.
Voice input
Dictate your prompts directly. iOS dictation works natively — no copy-paste from a notes app. Perfect for when you're away from a keyboard.
Zero friction resume
Tap and you're back. Session credentials persist in iOS Keychain. No re-authentication, no waiting for reconnection. Just your terminal, instantly.
Built for reliability.
The technical details, for those who care.
Eternal Terminal Protocol
UDP-based with XSalsa20-Poly1305 encryption. Survives IP changes, network switches, and device sleep. Auto-reconnects in ~10 seconds.
Ed25519 + Keychain
SSH public key authentication for initial handshake. Session passkeys stored securely in iOS Keychain. No passwords, no custom crypto.
SwiftTerm Emulation
Full xterm emulation with proper Unicode and Nerd Font support. Claude Code's fancy output renders correctly.
Bonjour Discovery
Automatic Mac discovery on local network via mDNS. Optional Tailscale integration for remote access from anywhere.
PocketMac Companion
Menu bar app that manages the ET server and handles secure pairing. One-time QR code scan to exchange SSH keys.
Multi-Session Support
Run multiple Claude Code instances across different projects. Switch between sessions without losing state.
