Trustmux is a PWA-based asynchronous remote access layer for tmux and Byobu sessions, letting developers check on and nudge long-running shell, Claude, or Codex jobs from their phone without maintaining a fragile live SSH connection. It combines libtmux, WebSockets, TLS via Tailscale or custom certs, and an offline-cached UI, packaged in major distros. The async-first design specifically targets high-latency and mobile network handoffs, a real pain point for AI-assisted development workflows.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, AI-assisted developers remote from long-running jobs
