About
A utility that mirrors any terminal UI application, including Claude Code, OpenCode, or plain bash and vim sessions, to a web browser so it can be monitored and controlled remotely, such as from a phone. It runs traffic through the author's free relay by default and adds first-class Tailscale support so connections don't have to pass over the public internet.
At a glance
tui2web shares a running terminal in a browser so you can see and answer prompts from another device. It is worth considering when you only need to check in on a long local session occasionally.
Good fit
People who want to view or steer a single terminal from a phone.
Consider something else when
Keep access local when terminal output or keystrokes cannot pass through a hosted relay.
Start here
Use a disposable terminal with harmless output and no credentials. Open it on a second device, check what input reaches the session and close it when finished.
Cost and requirements
The project lists Node.js 16 or newer on macOS, Linux and Windows, with a hosted relay and a Tailscale option.
Limits to know
The link can control a real terminal. The hosted relay handles terminal traffic and screen state. Treat the link as a credential and keep privileged shells out of an initial trial.

Why it made the leaderboard
Solves the concrete problem of staying connected to a long-running coding agent session from a phone without a flaky VPS-plus-SSH setup, letting you check in and keep steering an agent while away from your laptop.
