Motif - SSH Terminal

Motif is an SSH terminal and remote dev-session client for your own machines. Run the open-source motifd daemon on your Mac, Linux box, or any host, then attach from your iPhone or iPad to get a mirrored workspace: terminal sessions, file tree, and git diff, wherever you are.

Like "tmux attach" for your whole dev environment: • Live PTY terminals — run multiple sessions, synced across attached clients • Browse the project file tree and open files • Review changes with a built-in git diff • Connect directly, over Tailscale, or through an SSH tunnel • Secured with TLS and a single-user bearer token

Motif is single-user and includes no AI/LLM features — just a clean, fast remote terminal and dev-session client. You bring the server; Motif gives you the window.

motifd is required and runs on your own machine. See the project page for setup instructions: https://tech.xiachufang.xyz/motif/
