One app, two jobs

Terminal when you need a shell. Desktop when you need the screen.

$_

SSH terminal that respects details

Keyboard controls, modifier keys, cursor tuning, key repeat, selection, and custom terminal themes. Built for real sessions, not a decorative command prompt.

VNC

Remote desktop that feels touch-native

Pinch, pan, tap, and two-finger scroll remote desktops with predictable VNC input. Your Mac gets the click. Your fingers get the credit.

PiP

Picture in Picture for long work

Keep a terminal or VNC session visible while switching apps. Great for builds, deploys, installs, and other ceremonies of patience.

iCloud

Sync without another account

Connections, settings, terminal themes, and keychain-backed secrets can follow your devices with iCloud. No new login shrine required.

Remote desktop

Use the screen like a screen.

Teletype treats a VNC desktop like a high-precision canvas. Zoom in for tiny controls, pan across large displays, and send clicks, scrolls, and keyboard input with the same muscle memory you already use on iOS.

Picture in Picture

Keep an eye on the thing that is still doing the thing.

Watch long-running sessions while you check mail, read docs, or pretend the deployment is emotionally stable.

Terminal themes

Bring taste to the prompt.

Choose from a large theme catalog, import Ghostty themes, tune fonts and cursor behavior, and keep light and dark appearances in sync with the system.

Privacy

Your servers are your business. Strange idea, apparently.

No tracking Teletype does not track you or sell your data.
No collected data types The app privacy manifest declares no collected data.
Keychain-backed secrets Credentials are handled as device credentials should be handled.

Put a better remote client in your pocket.

Native SSH. Native VNC. Built for the moments when "I will check it when I get back" is not a plan.
