FAQ

Tmux is a terminal multiplexer that lets you run multiple terminal sessions inside a single window. It's widely used by developers and sysadmins to manage long-running processes and organize their workflow. Really Remote connects to your tmux sessions so you can interact with them from your phone. Check out tmux here, it's open source: tmux/tmux
Not necessarily. Really Remote works over any network where your iPhone can reach your Mac — including your home Wi-Fi, Tailscale, WireGuard, or an SSH tunnel. A VPN is one option, but not required. Recommended private network: Tailscale
Yes, the iOS app and MacOS server are free. The MacOS server is free and open source, available on github.com/qubitpulse/relay_server_rr . Contributions are welcome!
Any network where both devices can communicate: local Wi-Fi (LAN), Tailscale, WireGuard, ZeroTier, SSH tunnels, or any other VPN solution. The relay uses standard WebSocket connections on port 8765 by default, or any open port you specify.
Really Remote relies on your network layer for security. When using Tailscale, WireGuard, or an SSH tunnel, all traffic is encrypted end-to-end. On a local network, traffic stays within your LAN. There is no cloud relay — data flows directly between your devices.
