Why any-console

Built for the way you actually work.

You move between devices all day. Your dev environment should follow you.

Seamless across devices

Start npm test on your PC, check the output on your phone during commute, and pick up where you left off when you get home. tmux sessions persist — closing the browser doesn't end the session.

Watch your AI agents from anywhere

Kick off Claude Code or any CLI agent on your dev box, then check on it from your phone. The session keeps running while the agent works — peek in, answer a prompt, close the tab.

Serious mobile input

A custom virtual keyboard with flick input and swipe support. Practical enough to run git commit from your phone — not just a toy.

Jobs, Git, terminal — one place

No more tab-switching between tools. Run scripts, commit, push, and watch logs — all from a single tap on the same screen.

In action

One console, every screen.

Real screenshots from a running any-console.

A real terminal, in any browser

tmux-backed sessions — close the tab, reopen from any device, right where you left off.

Mobile input that means business

A full terminal keyboard, and a swipe-anywhere circle key pad. Same session as your desktop — watch an AI agent work, or take over yourself.

The daily Git loop, one tap deep

Diff, commit, history, branches — plus push, pull, stash, merge, and rebase.

Your scripts, one tap away

Per-workspace jobs, one-tap runs, output streaming into the same session.

Split panes, side by side

Two workspaces in one view — vertical, horizontal, or grid.

PWA

Use it like a native app.

★ Recommended: install as a PWA — full-screen, no browser chrome, three taps.

01Enable HTTPS

One command: ./any-console https-setup (Tailscale).

02Open & install

Share → Add to Home Screen (or Install in Chrome / Edge).

03Launch full-screen

Straight back into your sessions — no browser chrome.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Focused on the daily dev loop — the rest is intentionally out of scope.

Persistent sessions

tmux × WebSocket. Switch devices without losing your session, your output, or your place.

Web terminal

xterm.js based. Multi-tab and split-pane. Fast, native-feeling input on desktop and mobile.

Git UI

Branch switching, commit, push, pull, diff, history, stash, merge, rebase — all from the browser.

Job runner

One-tap shell script execution. Define, edit, and organize jobs per workspace — all from the UI.

Workspaces

Manage multiple projects side by side. Customize icons, colors, and per-workspace job definitions.

Installable PWA

Install it on your phone or desktop like a native app. Launch fast, full-screen, no browser chrome.

How it works

Three steps. No magic.

Host it on your own machine. Open it from anywhere.

01

Self-host

Install on your dev machine via systemd or Docker. One command sets up dependencies, builds the UI, and starts the service.

02

Open in any browser

Hit the URL from your phone, tablet, or another laptop. Authenticate once with the generated token, install as a PWA, and you're in.

03

Work from anywhere

Run jobs, edit Git history, or attach to a running tmux session. Disconnect freely — the session keeps running on the host.

Setup

Up and running in a minute.

Host on a Linux box. Access from any device with a browser.

# Clone & set up — installs deps, builds UI, registers systemd service
git clone https://github.com/kt0319/any-console.git
cd any-console
./any-console setup

# Manage the service
./any-console start
./any-console status
./any-console update

Platform: Linux only. First-class path — auto-update via ./any-console update.

# Install deps (macOS example)
brew install python3 node git tmux

# Clone & set up — answer 'n' when asked about systemd
git clone https://github.com/kt0319/any-console.git
cd any-console
./any-console setup

# Run directly in the foreground (Ctrl+C to stop)
./any-console run

Platform: macOS, WSL, or any POSIX host without systemd. No service registration, no auto-start. Use it for quick trials or laptop dev boxes.

# Clone & start with Docker Compose (demo / sandbox)
git clone https://github.com/kt0319/any-console.git
cd any-console
docker compose -f docker/compose.yml up -d

# Open
open http://<host>:8888

Platform: Linux, macOS, Windows. Manage with docker compose directly — the ./any-console CLI is systemd-only.

Note: Docker is intended as a minimal demo/sandbox. Workspaces, SSH keys, git/gh config, and shell environment live on the host and are not wired into the container. Use Docker to try any-console; for daily use on your real projects, run it directly on Linux + systemd.

Requirements: Python 3.11+, Node.js 18+, git, tmux. Optional: gh for GitHub integration.

A seamless dev console
across phone and PC.
