Set up cmux on iPhone and iPad

cmux on iOS connects to cmux running on your Mac. Your shells and agents continue running on the Mac while you view and control their workspaces from your phone or tablet.

Before you start

• Install the latest cmux on your Mac and keep it open with at least one workspace. If the phone requests a newer Mac version, update the specific cmux app you are connecting to.
• Install cmux on your iPhone or iPad. For the beta, accept your TestFlight invitation and install cmux BETA through TestFlight.
• Have both devices connected to the internet and use the same cmux account. If you use teams, select the same team on both devices.

1. Enable pairing on your Mac

1. Open cmux on the Mac and sign in to your cmux account.
2. Open cmux Settings, select Mobile, and turn on Enable iOS pairing. Do this in each cmux Mac app you want to access from your phone.
3. Keep cmux running and the Mac awake. If the Mac sleeps, shuts down, or loses its connection, the phone cannot reach its terminals.

2. Sign in and connect from iOS

1. Open cmux on your iPhone or iPad and sign in with the same cmux account as the Mac. Check the email on both devices if you have more than one account.
2. Follow the introduction. Enable Notifications when asked, or choose Not Now and enable them later. On the pairing page, confirm that you enabled iOS pairing on your Mac.
3. Choose Auto-Connect and tap Check for My Mac. This discovers compatible Macs signed in to your account. Auto-Connect does not require you to install Tailscale.
4. When the Mac is connected, tap Open Workspaces. Choose a workspace, then a terminal to view output and send input. Use All Computers at the top to change the selected Mac.

Optional: connect with Tailscale Only

1. Install Tailscale on the Mac and iPhone or iPad, sign both into the same Tailscale network, and confirm Tailscale is connected on both.
2. Keep Enable iOS pairing on in cmux Settings > Mobile. On iOS, select Tailscale Only in the connection options, then choose Scan Pairing Code.
3. Open Mobile Connect in cmux on the Mac and scan its pairing code with the phone. Allow camera access when requested and follow the pairing prompts.
4. Keep Tailscale connected on both devices when using this mode, including when the phone switches from Wi-Fi to cellular. Your Tailscale access rules must allow the phone to reach the Mac.

3. Enable agent notifications

1. Tap Enable Notifications during the introduction and allow notifications in the iOS prompt. If you skipped or denied it, open iOS Settings > Notifications > cmux and enable Allow Notifications.
2. Check notification settings in cmux on both devices and enable forwarding where offered. Keep the Mac running and connected so it can send new agent alerts.
3. Open a workspace with a configured coding agent and trigger an alert. Check the Notifications tab in cmux, then check delivery to your phone. Focus modes and Scheduled Summary can delay or silence alerts.

Configure terminal and agent notifications

4. Verify your connection

1. Open a terminal from the phone and run a harmless command such as pwd. Confirm the output appears on the phone and in the same Mac workspace.
2. Switch to another workspace, then return. If you plan to connect away from home, test on cellular before leaving the Mac.
3. Keep the Mac plugged in and awake for remote access. A keep-awake option may be offered during setup; use it if you want the Mac to remain reachable.

If no workspaces appear

After correcting a setup issue, return to Workspaces and tap Retry. Retry reconnects to a saved Mac or refreshes the workspace list and account-backed connection information.

The Mac is missing

Check Enable iOS pairing in Settings > Mobile on the exact Mac app you opened. Confirm the same cmux account and team on both devices, and keep that Mac app running. Use the Computers button to inspect available Macs and check whether you hid the computer.

cmux asks for a newer Mac app

Update cmux on the Mac, then quit and reopen that app. If you run several cmux versions, confirm the phone is selecting the updated one. Follow the minimum version shown by the iOS app.

The Mac appears but will not connect

Wake the Mac and check internet access on both devices. Allow Local Network access on iOS if requested. For Tailscale Only, check that both Tailscale apps are connected to the same network and that access rules permit the connection. Then tap Retry.

The connection works but the list is empty

Create or open a workspace in cmux on the Mac. On the phone, choose All Computers and clear workspace search or filters. Pull down to refresh the list, or tap Retry in the empty state.

Still need help?

Include your cmux versions on Mac and iOS, your connection mode, the exact error, and whether the Mac appears under Computers. Never include passwords or pairing codes.

Forutsetninger

Før du starter trenger du:

• En Mac som kjører cmux og er innlogget.
• En iPhone eller iPad med cmux BETA-appen installert fra TestFlight.
• En nettverkssti fra telefonen din til Mac-en din (se Ta med ditt eget nettverk nedenfor).

Ta med ditt eget nettverk

cmux leverer ikke nettverk ut av boksen. Terminalstrømmen går direkte mellom telefonen og Mac-en din, så telefonen må kunne nå Mac-en din på nettverket. Den enkleste måten er et privat overlay-nettverk.

Tailscale (anbefalt)

Installer Tailscale på både Mac-en og telefonen din og logg inn på det samme tailnet. Telefonen din kan da nå Mac-en din via tailnet-adressen dens fra hvor som helst, uten portvideresending.

WireGuard

Hvis du allerede kjører WireGuard, sett Mac-en og telefonen din på samme nettverk og bruk WireGuard-adressen til Mac-en.

Par og koble til

1. På Mac-en åpner du Mobile Connect-vinduet i cmux.
2. På telefonen din åpner du cmux BETA-appen og bekrefter paringen som vises i Mobile Connect.
3. Når dere er paret, vises arbeidsområdene og terminalene dine på telefonen via nettverket ditt.

Paring skjer per enhet. En ny enhet, eller en reinstallert app, parer på nytt.

Varsler

Du kan velge å videresende terminalvarsler til telefonen din, slik at et panel som trenger oppmerksomhet sender et varsel til enheten din. Når videresending er på, sendes varselteksten (tittel og brødtekst, hentet fra terminalutdata) gjennom cmux-serverne til Apple's push service for å levere den. Slå på Hide content i varselinnstillingene for å sende en generisk melding i stedet og holde terminalteksten på enhetene dine. Se varsler for hvordan cmux utløser dem.

Hvilke data lagres

cmux er bygget slik at terminalen din holder seg mellom enhetene dine. På cmux-serverne lagrer vi bare det som trengs for å logge deg inn og koble sammen enhetene dine:

• Kontoen din fra innlogging (e-post), for å identifisere deg på tvers av enheter.
• Et push-token for enheten din, for å levere videresendte terminalvarsler.
• Parings- og enhetsmetadata, for å koble telefonen din til Mac-en din.
