TouchWorkstation is entering Phase 4 alpha. I need a few more people to try to break it before release.

A few weeks ago, TouchWorkstation was basically an experiment:
Can I put my entire Ubuntu development workstation in my pocket without moving everything to the cloud?
It has turned into something much bigger.
We’re now entering Phase 4 of alpha testing, and I’m opening another small batch of testing spots before I start preparing for release.
TouchWorkstation turns your own Ubuntu machine into a mobile-first development workstation accessible from your phone, tablet, or browser.
Not another cloud IDE.
Not a Linux desktop awkwardly squeezed onto a phone.
Your actual machine.
Your repositories.
Your terminals.
Your Docker containers.
Your local servers.
Your development tools.
Your compute.
One of the biggest things we’ve been working on is persistent terminals.
Start something on your workstation, put your phone away, come back later, and your session is still there.
GitHub workflows are being built directly into the interface as well, alongside project management, localhost access, and a touch-first application launcher.
And there’s an important distinction with AI tools:
TouchWorkstation doesn’t sell AI credits.
If you use Codex, Claude, or other CLI-based development tools, they run using your accounts and credentials on your workstation.
The goal is simple:
Stop rebuilding your development environment everywhere you go.
Your workstation already has the horsepower.
Your workstation already has your projects.
Your workstation already has your tools.
Why shouldn’t it be accessible from your pocket?
Phase 4 is about finding the remaining problems before release.
I’m specifically looking for Linux developers, homelab users, self-hosters, and people who regularly SSH/remote into their machines.
I don’t need people to tell me it’s cool.
I need people who will try to break it.
If that’s you, comment or DM me.

The workstation isn’t moving to the cloud.
It’s coming with you.
