Mud Portal - MUD Client

Connect to Text-Based Worlds

Overview

Features & Capabilities

New in 1.2.3: optional iCloud sync for Pro — triggers, aliases, scripts, and maps in step across your devices. Plus #wait delays and $variables in trigger commands.

Mud Portal is a full-featured MUD client for iPhone — connect to any text-based multiplayer world with desktop-class power and a screen-reader-first design.

ACCESSIBILITY FIRST

  • Built for VoiceOver: every control is labeled, and incoming game text is read aloud as it arrives — choose Queue (one line at a time) or Interrupt (jump to the newest)
  • Gag triggers silence spam from VoiceOver, not just the screen
  • Bluetooth / hardware keyboard: Up/Down arrows recall command history
  • A real home for players who relied on accessible MUD clients of the past

CONNECT & PLAY

  • Full Telnet with 16- and 256-color ANSI rendering
  • Optional TLS encryption
  • Multiple simultaneous sessions with tab switching
  • Auto-reconnect when connections drop
  • TCP keep-alive for background persistence
  • GMCP support — if used: live HP/Mana/Move vitals bar, room tracking, and structured game data

SPLIT-SCREEN MAPS

  • Servers that use ANSI scroll regions get a pinned map above scrolling game text
  • Works automatically with standard VT100 cursor positioning

iCLOUD SYNC (NEW)

  • Optional sync for Pro members: keep servers, triggers, aliases, scripts, and maps in step across your devices via your private iCloud
  • Off by default — your data stays on your device unless you turn it on
  • Device-specific preferences (D-pad, haptics, font sizes) intentionally stay per-device

AUTOMATION

  • Powerful triggers — match by text or regex to highlight, gag (hide), rewrite lines, send commands, play sounds, or vibrate
  • Command aliases with argument substitution
  • Organize triggers, aliases, scripts, and timers into Classes you can enable or disable together
  • Tick timers — repeating commands on a configurable interval, with multi-command support
  • Built-in scripting language with variables, loops, conditionals, and functions — plus #wait for timed pauses in command sequences
  • Combat tracking with a real-time overlay and post-combat summary
  • Smart, context-aware command suggestions

SESSION LOGS

  • In-app log viewer with full ANSI color
  • Logs saved to the Files app (On My iPhone → Mud Portal) for backup and sharing
  • Record color or plain text — your choice

SOUNDS

  • Built-in alert sounds, or import your own from Files — preview before you assign

CONTROLS

  • D-pad with optional diagonals for movement
  • Four editable macro buttons — long-press to edit mid-session
  • Collapsible quick command bar
  • Command history with prefix search
  • Send blank lines (global or per-server) for games that expect them
  • Scrollback with scroll-lock indicator and new-line counter

EXTRAS

  • In-app Help & Guide
  • Adjustable font size per server
  • Configurable background timeout with graceful disconnect

NO ADS, NO GIMMICKS Connecting, unlimited servers, maps, regex triggers, filtering, sounds, command history, and every accessibility feature are included for everyone — no ads, no tracking.

MUD PORTAL PRO (optional) For dedicated players, Pro unlocks the deep automation toolkit — scripting, variable-driven trigger actions, advanced and conditional triggers, combat analytics, smart suggestions, iCloud sync, and unlimited everything (triggers, classes, timers, and custom sounds). Choose a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime unlock. Your support funds development and keeps Mud Portal growing for everyone — and tips are always welcome.

Two MUD worlds are pre-loaded and ready to explore. Add your own servers anytime.

Mud Portal Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID Account Settings.

User Reviews

Tried several and none feel comfortable like this one. However, it would be awesome if the app could stay connected after closing the app. I know there are limitations as the documentation states, but somehow the app Termius is able to keep a Telnet session alive and shows on lock screen as an active connection when the app is closed. This would be epic!

I’m one week in and the app already outshines the competition. I’ve found the usability and functionality to be refreshing and intuitive so far. Will update as I continue to experience the app.
