Never Lose a Session

Mosh sessions don't reconnect — they resume. Hours later, on a different network, your session syncs and carries on. tmux mode makes plain SSH just as durable: your processes and scrollback live on the server, and Clive reattaches automatically. Automatic reconnect with smart backoff logs you back in the moment your network returns.

Built for Agentic Coding

Kick off a long job — an AI coding agent, a training run, a build — and walk away. Clive is your window back into it from the train, the couch, or the other side of the world. When your server is doing the work, your phone only has to watch.

A Real Terminal in Your Pocket

SSH and Mosh, selectable per host, with multiple simultaneous connections — even to the same server. xterm-256color, themes, and adjustable scrollback. A custom keyboard with a joystick-style key bar, plus full hardware-keyboard support.

Your Files, Right There

A built-in SFTP browser with a code editor, syntax highlighting, and Markdown rendering. Type “open” plus a file path at any prompt and the file appears.

Your Keys Never Leave Your Phone

Ed25519 keys are generated on-device and never leave the Keychain. Passwords stay in the Keychain too; host settings sync across your devices through your own iCloud. Face ID locks the whole app.

Privacy

Clive collects no data. Hosts and settings stay on your device, keys and passwords stay in the Keychain, and nothing leaves your phone except the SSH and Mosh traffic to the servers you configure. No analytics, no tracking, no account.
