Mobile controls

A terminal on glass needs more than a software keyboard. TermBridge adds the controls that make real work possible with thumbs.

The modifier-key tray

A row above the keyboard puts the keys you can’t type easily one tap away:

  • Tab, Esc, Ctrl, and the arrow keys
  • Ctrl-C to interrupt
  • Clear line and Backspace quick keys

On iPad, an extended bar gives you even more in reach.

Voice dictation

Tap the mic and speak your command — a live waveform shows it’s listening. It’s built for the prose half of agentic coding, where you’d rather say “run the test suite again and show me only the failures” than thumb-type it.

Attach a file

Tap to attach a file or image from your phone. It uploads to your Mac and the resulting file path drops straight into the terminal, ready to run. Snap a screenshot of an error, send it up, and point your agent at it.

Browse your Mac’s files

Open the file browser from the composer to navigate your Mac’s filesystem right from the phone — no blind ls-ing around to remember where a config lives.

Make the key row yours

Themes, fonts, and a custom key row let you tune the terminal to match your setup. Put the keys you actually reach for where your thumbs expect them.

Two-way clipboard

Copy on your Mac, paste on your phone — and back. The clipboard syncs both directions between devices.
