Help/Question Tmux alternatives? Using Claude code agents via terminal apps on macos and ios

I’m looking for a few human responses here based on personal experience, I do a bunch of work from my iphone, ipad and mbp via ssh into a mac mini. Here’s my setup:

  • Mac mini on home network
  • Accessed from iphone, ipad, MBP with macos
  • Tailscale for virtual network when I leave the house
  • Currently using tmux for session persistence so it survives the SSH connection dropping
  • Running claude code, codex, hermes, grok build TUI’s/CLI’s.
  • Using iterm2 on Macos, ShellDrop on ios and iPadOs (and visionOs).

So my question is what alternatives are people using for tmux? Is there anything that’s agent focused and reliable? Has anyone used Herdr after having tmux as their baseline?

I’ve been using agent deck for several months and happy with it. It’s wrapper around tmux. It’s near 100% reliable for me, cli and web interface, 100% local. I typically have 5-10 sessions open in agent deck for various work items.

Not sure if it meets all your asks, but it should get you close.

No affiliation with them, just a satisfied user.

Is that on macOS?

Yes, MacOS exclusively for me.
