Early development · v0.1

Your terminal sessions, on every device.

voytty keeps shells running on your computer and lets you pick them up from your phone or another machine. Connections are end-to-end encrypted — direct when the network allows, relayed when it doesn’t.

Leave your desk. Keep your session.

persist

Sessions that keep running

Sessions live in the voytty daemon on your host. Disconnect, change networks or switch devices — the shell and everything in it keep going until you close them.

e2ee

End-to-end encrypted

Devices talk over Iroh’s QUIC connections. Relays only forward encrypted packets; they never see your terminal content, keys or sessions.

direct

Direct when possible

Devices connect peer-to-peer through NATs and fall back to a relay when they can’t — no port forwarding, VPN or public IP. Use the default relays or run your own.

pair

Pair with a QR code

Run voytty pair create on the host and scan the one-time code. No sign-up, no SSH keys to copy around. Each pairing grants one direction of access and can be revoked.

takeover

Move between devices

One device controls a session at a time. Take it over from another and the same shell resizes to fit the new screen.

mobile

A real terminal on your phone

Native Android and iOS apps with touch scrolling through history, text selection, the system keyboard including CJK input, shortcut keys and file uploads.

Up and running in three steps

1
Install on your computer
macOS on Apple silicon, or Linux on x86_64 or arm64. The installer verifies signed releases, never uses sudo and leaves your shell config alone.
```
$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leonfox28/voytty/main/install/install.sh | sh
```
2
Set it up
Names this computer and starts the background daemon.
```
$ voytty setup --name my-mac
```
3
Pair a device
Scan the QR code with the voytty app. On another computer, run voytty pair accept and connect with the command it prints.
```
$ voytty pair create
```
