# reminal ### Every window, desktop and terminal on your machines — live in any browser. **Close the laptop lid and walk away.** reminal keeps the machine serving — and hands you its actual apps, not just a shell — in any browser, from anywhere. No open ports, no keys on disk, nothing to install on the device you're holding.

--- ## No monitor. No dummy plug. No dongle. Close a MacBook's lid and macOS puts it to sleep — unless it's on power with a monitor *and* keyboard attached. The usual fix is a hardware "dummy" HDMI plug that fakes a display, or just leaving the lid propped open on your desk. **Closed-lid mode does it in software.** Flip it on and leave — no monitor, no dongle, in any order. reminal disables clamshell sleep and, because GUI apps need a screen to draw on, spins up a virtual display the moment the Mac goes headless — so window mirroring keeps working with nothing plugged in. Toggle it off and everything is undone. Closed-lid mode is macOS-only; everything else below works on macOS, Linux and Windows alike. --- ## Set it up in one line ```bash curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/harshalgajjar/Reminal/main/install.sh | sh reminal ``` On Windows (PowerShell): ```powershell irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/harshalgajjar/Reminal/main/install.ps1 | iex reminal ``` That's the whole setup — one command on the machine you're leaving behind. Everything else you own is already a client, because the client is a browser. --- ## Reach in and drive the apps Any app window streams live into your browser — and you don't just watch it, you **drive** it: cursor, click and right-click, type, scroll, drag, pinch-zoom. Not open yet? **Launch any installed app** on the host from the **Apps** menu, then drive it. Or tap **Host → View full desktop** to run the whole machine at once. On a phone the screen becomes a trackpad — your Mac, fully hands-on, from your pocket.
Real capture: a phone opens the Mac's TextEdit window and types 'Hello from my phone!' — the words land in the real app on the Mac, live — then the phone mirrors the entire desktop Real capture, unedited. The phone picks a window, types into it — the words appear in the real app on the Mac — then mirrors the whole desktop. Native capture, streamed peer-to-peer.
--- ## 60 fps, from a machine that isn't here And nothing about those windows says *stream*. Drag it, scrub a video inside it, watch a build scroll past — it stays fluid the whole way, on hotel Wi-Fi or a phone on cellular. **Sixty frames a second, 17 ms from its screen to yours.**
A Mac Studio named mac-studio, with one of its windows streaming live into a browser below it at 60 fps — the motion inside sweeping a smooth trail across the canvas — beside a large '60 fps' and the line 'of a live window, from a machine that isn't here' H.264 down the session's own DataChannel — peer-to-peer, about 2.6 Mbps. Relay-only viewers get the same video at 30 fps.
--- ## A full terminal, too — scan a QR and you're in `reminal` prints a session ID, a PIN, and a QR code. Scan it, and your phone is a **full terminal on your machine** — real color, touch text-selection, on-screen modifier keys. No port forwarding. No keys to manage. Nothing to install on the phone; the browser is the client.
A terminal runs reminal and prints a QR code; a phone scans it and joins the same session — end-to-end encrypted The fastest SSH you'll ever configure — because there's nothing to configure.
--- ## Interact with your machines like they're right here Pop any remote window out onto your desktop and it sits there like its own app window — except it's running on another machine entirely. Line up an editor from your MacBook, a terminal on a cloud box, and a dashboard from the Mac mini at home, and work across all of them as if they were local.
Three native windows in front — an editor, a terminal, and a dashboard — each linked by a dotted line to the machine behind it: a MacBook (studio-mac), a cloud VM (aws-eu-1), and a Mac mini (mini-01)
--- ## Own your machines. Watch them all. The moment your work spans more than one machine — a rack of servers, or agents let loose on several boxes at once — the hard part isn't starting it, it's *seeing* it. `reminal machines` is one live view of everything you own: every machine, every terminal on it, what's running right now, who's watching, how long it's been idle. An agent running a test suite on your laptop, patching a CVE on a cloud VM, and rotating backups on the Mac mini — or just your own sessions — all at a glance. It's on the CLI and in the web **Machines panel**, where you can jump into any session, rename it, spawn a new one, or kill it on any box. That single pane works because you *own* the machines. Enroll a device once — `reminal own` prints its id, you paste `sudo reminal add owner ` on each machine — and from then on it reaches every session with **no PIN**. The trust is a per-device key: revocable one at a time, `sudo`-gated to grant, and the relay still only ever sees ciphertext.
A live 'reminal machines' view of a fleet you own — studio-mac, aws-eu-1 and mini-01, all online — each showing its sessions: agents running a test suite, patching a CVE and rotating backups, alongside ordinary sessions like api-prod, worker and grafana, with live indicators and viewer counts
--- ## Know when a machine needs you Tap the bell in the **Machines panel** and every machine you own can notify this device, even with reminal closed: when its CPU stays outside a range you pick, when its battery drops below a level or below an amount of time left, or when its charger is plugged in or out. Set one set of rules for all your machines, or custom rules for any one of them. It works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari; on iPhone and iPad, add reminal to your Home Screen first. Each machine watches itself and seals every alert to your browser's own keys before it leaves, so the relay forwards a notification it can't read and keeps no list of your devices.
Two machines you own — build-server with its CPU climbing to 97%, and travel-laptop with its battery draining to 18% — each sending an alert to a phone, where the notifications 'CPU at 97% for 5 minutes' and 'Battery at 18% · about 45 min left' drop in over reminal's Alerts settings
--- ## Your agents can see each other ```bash reminal integrate ``` One command registers reminal's **MCP server** with every agent CLI you have — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Qwen, OpenCode, Antigravity, Amp, and pi (which takes a native extension instead). From then on your agents can: - **`list_sessions`** — every session you own, on this machine and every enrolled box - **`search_sessions`** — regex across live terminal scrollback, on all of them - **`read_transcript`** — read another session's terminal as plain text - **`send_keys`** — type into another session's PTY, across machines Which means an agent on your laptop can watch what an agent on your build box is doing, and answer it. **They don't have to be the same agent, or from the same vendor** — Claude Code can drive a Codex session. There's no protocol to adopt and nothing to integrate against: the bus is the terminal. If it runs in a PTY, it can be read and typed into. Agents can also raise a hand. `add_note` pins a badge on the actual window it's about — the editor, the browser it's driving — and that reaches your phone, where you can answer it. > `send_keys` types real keystrokes into a real shell on a machine you own. It only reaches boxes you've enrolled yourself, and everything it does is visible live in the viewer — but treat it with the respect you'd give any tool that can type Ctrl+C into your terminal. Prefer no MCP? Hand an agent a session ID and PIN and it connects like any other viewer, to every machine you've shared.
An AI agent given the session key dispatches jobs in parallel to three machines — run test suite on studio-mac, scan and patch on aws-eu-1, rotate backups on mini-01
--- ## Share a local port with the world `reminal expose 3000` turns whatever's running on `localhost` into a **public HTTPS URL** — a dev server, a webhook target, a build to show a client. PIN-gated by default (or `--public` to open it up), so you can share the link without deploying anything. It's a built-in ngrok, on the tool you already have running.
A terminal runs a dev server on localhost:3000, then reminal expose 3000 prints a public https URL — which loads the same app live on a phone, PIN-gated over TLS
--- ## Move a file between any two machines `reminal copy report.pdf` on one machine prints a **one-time code**; `reminal paste ` on another pulls the file down — Mac to Linux, Windows to Mac, laptop to server, anywhere to anywhere. End-to-end encrypted, no cloud drive, no account. AirDrop, for every machine you own.
One terminal runs reminal copy report.pdf and gets a one-time code; another machine runs reminal paste with that code and the file transfers, end-to-end encrypted
--- ## The last thing you'll install standing at your computer Set it up once, in person — then you never have to sit at that machine again. From any browser you get its terminal, any window, the whole desktop, a public link to a local port, files to and from it, even a live session shared with someone else. One tool, every remote job.
reminal at the center, wired to the five things it does: a terminal in any browser, control any window or desktop, a public URL for a local port, sending files between machines, and pairing with anyone live — no accounts, no subscriptions, nothing for the other side to install
--- ## How it works
Architecture: your machine (reminal) and any device both dial out to a Cloudflare relay over encrypted WSS — the relay only routes ciphertext it can't read — while window and desktop frames go directly peer-to-peer over WebRTC, off the relay
Your machine dials **out** to a relay over WSS; viewers dial out to the same relay. Nothing ever listens on your machine. Everything through the relay is encrypted end-to-end — it routes ciphertext it cannot read. Window and desktop frames don't even take that path: they ride a direct WebRTC connection between browser and host. > You trust Cloudflare to deliver packets — the same way you trust your ISP with SSH traffic. Neither can read what you send. The difference: **reminal never opens your machine to the internet.** --- ## Everything you get Join a session from anywhere — phone (scan the QR), any browser (open the URL, type the PIN), or another terminal (`reminal --connect --pin `). Then:
#### Persistent, resilient shell Close the laptop, switch to your phone, reconnect from a different city — your shell is right where you left it, and the current screen paints **instantly** (a snapshot, no slow fast-forward). Wi-Fi drop, tunnel, elevator? Auto-reconnect with backoff, 2 MiB of scrollback intact. #### Pair with anyone Send a session ID and PIN to a teammate over any channel and they join the same live shell — or a window mirror — from a browser. No account, no install, multiple viewers at once. Ctrl+C ends it; there's nothing to revoke.
#### Sessions that outlive your terminal Kick off a long job and close the lid — it keeps running. `reminal new deploy` spawns a named session; `list` · `attach` · `rename` · `kill` · `prune` manage the whole fleet by name, id, or fuzzy match. The Host panel shows live CPU/memory and spawns one in a tap. #### Zero-install web terminal A full xterm.js terminal is built into the relay. Any browser is the client — phone, iPad, locked-down work laptop, hotel-lobby PC. Pinch-zoom, text selection with draggable handles, on-screen modifier keys, voice dictation, find-in-scrollback.
#### Files, ports & pings `reminal copy` / `paste` move a file between any two machines with a one-time code. `reminal expose 3000` puts a local port on a public, PIN-gated URL. `reminal send` pushes a file to **every viewer at once**, and `reminal notify` fires a browser notification on all of them. #### Secure by construction No open ports, ephemeral session ID + PIN, AES-256-GCM end-to-end with a PIN-authenticated X25519 handshake the relay can't crack offline. Ctrl+C and the credentials are gone. [Details below](#security).
#### Own a machine, skip the PIN Enroll a device as an **owner** — `reminal own`, then `sudo reminal add owner ` once — and it connects to any of that machine's sessions with no PIN. Per-device trust, revocable one at a time (`reminal owners revoke`, or self-revoke from the browser). The relay stays blind either way. #### Every machine, one list `reminal machines` shows every box you own and each live session on it — what's running, viewers, idle time. Same view in the web **Machines panel**: attach, rename, spawn, or kill a session on any machine from the browser.
--- ## Security > Built to be **as secure as a properly configured SSH — and safer by default.** SSH leaves port 22 open, stores long-lived keys on disk, and trusts you to configure everything correctly. reminal takes the opposite approach: **nothing to expose, nothing permanent to steal, encryption end-to-end.** | Layer | What it does | |---|---| | **No open ports** | Your machine only initiates outbound connections. There is nothing on the network to scan, brute-force, or zero-day. | | **Ephemeral credentials** | Session ID and PIN exist only while `reminal` is running. Ctrl+C and they are gone forever. | | **Owner devices, revocable** | A device you enroll as an owner connects without the PIN using its own key — a separate trust path from the ephemeral PIN, gated behind `sudo` to enroll and revocable per-device (or self-revoked from any browser). The relay still only routes ciphertext. | | **Dual-factor by design** | An attacker needs both the session ID (~1 trillion combinations) and the 6-digit PIN. Knowing one is useless. | | **Rate-limited by the agent** | Every PIN guess costs a full online handshake with your machine, and the agent answers at most ~6 per minute (burst of 8, one token per 10s). Exhausting a 6-digit PIN at that rate takes months — far longer than a session lives. | | **End-to-end encryption** | AES-256-GCM with a fresh random 256-bit session key per agent run. Distributed to each viewer via a PIN-authenticated X25519 handshake (EKE-style) — the relay never sees the key or anything offline-brute-forceable from it. | | **Forward-secret handshake** | Each WebSocket connection runs its own ephemeral X25519 exchange. Even if a future attacker recovers the PIN, recorded ciphertext stays unreadable. | | **Relay-blind** | Cloudflare Workers route ciphertext. A relay that records traffic cannot recover the session key offline — wrong PIN guesses are detectable only by attempting a full handshake online (one shot each, bounded by the agent's kex throttle). | | **P2P you can trust** | WebRTC signaling (SDP, ICE) rides inside the already-encrypted session channel, so the relay can't tamper with DTLS fingerprints — no man-in-the-middle window. Frames on the DataChannel are DTLS-protected end-to-end. | | **TLS in transit** | WSS / TLS on every hop in production. | **One deliberate exception:** `reminal expose` port-forwards are **not** end-to-end encrypted — the visitor is an ordinary browser with no reminal key, so that traffic passes through the relay in plaintext (PIN-gated, but readable by the relay). Everything else above is E2E. Self-host the relay if that matters to you. **Best practices:** share the session ID and PIN over different channels (email the ID, text the PIN) · Ctrl+C when done — credentials die instantly · keep the client current with `reminal upgrade`. **Digging deeper:** [Security architecture](docs/security/architecture.md) · [Threat model](docs/security/threat-model.md) · [Subprocessors & data handling](docs/security/subprocessors.md) · [Self-assessment](docs/security/self-assessment.md) · [Report a vulnerability](SECURITY.md) --- ## reminal vs SSH, at a glance SSH was designed in 1995 — it assumes a static IP, a router you can configure, and keys you keep rotated. reminal assumes none of that, so the trade-offs line up differently: | | **reminal** | SSH | |---|---|---| | **Setup time** | One command | Keys, configs, port-forwarding, firewalls | | **Listening port** | None | TCP 22 exposed to the internet | | **Credentials** | Ephemeral session ID + PIN | Permanent keys on disk | | **Behind NAT / hotel Wi-Fi** | Just works | VPN or jump host required | | **Client required on viewer** | None — a browser is the client | `ssh` + a configured key per device | | **Phone friendly** | Scan QR → in | No native client | | **Session survives disconnect** | Shell keeps running, hop between devices | Drop the connection, lose your work (unless you wrapped it in `tmux`) | | **Network blips** | Auto-reconnect, scrollback replay | `Write failed: Broken pipe` | | **GUI apps** | Mirror & control any window — or the whole desktop | X11 forwarding, if you dare | | **Laptop lid shut, no monitor** | Closed-lid mode keeps serving on a virtual display | Terminal only | | **If laptop is stolen** | Sessions already dead | Old keys still grant access | | **Encryption** | End-to-end through relay | End-to-end direct (if configured right) | --- ## Run your own relay (free, one time) The relay runs on **Cloudflare Workers + Durable Objects**. The free tier handles thousands of sessions a month — and window frames go peer-to-peer, so the heavy traffic never touches it. ```bash cd cloudflare npm install npx wrangler login npm run deploy ``` Then copy `reminal.build.env.example` to the gitignored `reminal.build.env`, put your `workers.dev` URL there, and run `./scripts/build.sh`. No source edit is needed. Full guide in [cloudflare/README.md](cloudflare/README.md). --- ## Local development ```bash # Build once; source builds retain the upstream public relay by default ./scripts/build.sh # Terminal 1 — your own relay on localhost:8080 ./dist/reminal relay # Terminal 2 — share a session via the local relay REMINAL_LOCAL=1 ./dist/reminal # Terminal 3 — connect from another shell or the browser REMINAL_LOCAL=1 ./dist/reminal connect # or http://localhost:8080/?s= ``` To test against a remote relay without rebuilding, set either runtime URL; reminal derives its counterpart automatically: ```bash REMINAL_RELAY=wss://your-relay.example/ws ./dist/reminal # or: REMINAL_WEB=https://your-relay.example ./dist/reminal ``` --- ## Reference ### Platform support The mirroring you see above isn't macOS-only — window capture **and** full control (click, type, scroll, drag) work on Linux/X11 and Windows as well. | Capability | macOS | Linux | Windows | |---|---|---|---| | Terminal sharing · sessions · files · port forwarding | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ ConPTY | | Owner connect (PIN-free) · `reminal machines` | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | | Window & desktop mirroring + control | ✅ ScreenCaptureKit — H.264 up to 60 fps | ✅ X11 — `wmctrl` · `xdotool` · ImageMagick | ✅ Win32 — PrintWindow · SendInput | | Closed-lid mode (auto virtual display) | ✅ | — | — | | Hot restart (`reminal restart`) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ (foreground sessions convert to background + attached viewer) | Linux capture needs an **X11** session (or Xwayland) — native Wayland blocks synthetic input, so it isn't supported yet. Apple Silicon, x86_64, and Windows ARM64 all supported. #### Windows notes - **Shell**: sessions open PowerShell 7 (`pwsh`) when installed, else Windows PowerShell, else `cmd` — set `$env:SHELL` to override. Terminals run through **ConPTY**, the same API Windows Terminal uses, so colors, TUIs, and resizing behave like a native console. - **No permission prompts**: unlike macOS's Screen Recording grant, window mirroring and input injection need nothing enabled — it works out of the box. - **Firewall prompt on first mirror**: when a viewer first attaches to a window/desktop pane, Windows Firewall asks about reminal — that's the direct peer-to-peer (WebRTC) stream binding a UDP port, the same prompt any video-call app gets. **Allow** enables P2P; **Cancel** is also fine — streaming falls back to the encrypted relay path. - **Streaming**: Windows uses the JPEG capture path (~5–15 fps). The 60 fps H.264 pipeline is currently macOS-only. - **Mirroring needs a logged-in desktop** — a machine sitting at the login screen (or a service session) has no windows to capture; terminal sharing works regardless. - **Upgrades & hot restart**: `reminal upgrade` swaps the exe in place (the running one is renamed aside), and `reminal restart` hot-swaps a session's agent onto the new binary without touching the shell inside — each session's shell lives in a tiny ConPTY-holder process, so the agent can be replaced under it (the session's PID changes, unlike Unix). A *foreground* session restarts by converting: it moves to the background and your terminal becomes an attached viewer of it — same shell, same keystrokes, Ctrl-] detaches. The background host also restarts itself automatically after an upgrade. ### Commands | Command | What it does | |---|---| | `reminal [--name ]` | Share this terminal session | | `reminal new [name]` | Spawn a fresh background session (detached — survives this terminal closing) | | `reminal list [filter] [-v]` | List sessions, recent-first; filter by id/name/cwd/title (`--idle`, `--viewers`, `--headless`) | | `reminal attach [id\|name]` | Re-connect to a local session as a viewer (no arg → interactive picker) | | `reminal connect [pin]` | Connect to a remote session from your terminal (PIN prompted if omitted) | | `reminal rename [id\|name] ` | Rename a running session (inside a session: `reminal rename `) | | `reminal stop [id\|name\|port]` | Stop the reminal layer — kicks viewers, keeps your shell/server running | | `reminal kill [id\|name]` | Fully terminate a session (kills the shell — irreversible) | | `reminal prune [dur] [-y]` | Kill idle, unwatched sessions in one go (default idle ≥ 30m) | | `reminal restart [--all]` | Hot-swap the running agent(s) onto the latest binary — the shell stays alive | | `reminal integrate [--remove]` | Register reminal's MCP server with your agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Qwen, OpenCode, Antigravity, Amp, pi) | | `reminal mcp` | Run the MCP server on stdio — list, search, read and type into sessions across your machines | | `reminal expose [--public]` | Forward a local HTTP port to a public URL (PIN-protected by default) | | `reminal send ` | Push a file to every connected viewer (web client auto-downloads) | | `reminal copy [--ttl ] ` | Offer a file for pickup anywhere; prints a one-time code | | `reminal paste [dest]` | Fetch a file offered by `reminal copy` on another machine | | `reminal notify ` | Push a notification to viewers (browser notification on web) | | `reminal connections` | List currently attached viewers with connect time | | `reminal own` | Print this device's owner id + the `add owner` line to paste on machines you want to own | | `reminal add owner [--label ]` | Enroll an owner device on this machine (needs `sudo` / an Administrator terminal on Windows) — lets it connect PIN-free | | `reminal owners [rename\|revoke\|restore …]` | List / relabel / revoke / restore this machine's owner devices | | `reminal machines [rename ]` | List every machine you own and its live sessions (web Machines panel manages them) | | `reminal info [id\|name] [--all] [--qr] [--json]` | Show connect details — ID / PIN / URL / QR | | `reminal qr [id\|name]` | Print just the join QR (for a second screen) | | `reminal settings` | Settings page: keep the Mac unlocked for remote control; **closed-lid mode** (serve with the lid shut and nothing plugged in — disables clamshell sleep, auto-creates a virtual display while headless) | | `reminal doctor` | Self-diagnostic: version, relay reachability, terminal, shell | | `reminal permissions` | macOS: grant Screen Recording to reminal once, so background (`+`) sessions can mirror windows | | `reminal completion ` | Print a shell completion script | | `reminal upgrade` | Upgrade to the latest release | | `reminal relay [port]` | Start a local relay (development only) | | `reminal version [--verbose]` | Print version | Sessions resolve by **exact id, exact name, unique id prefix, or unique substring** of name / cwd / title — `reminal attach deploy` just works. ### Environment variables | Variable | Default | What it does | |---|---|---| | `REMINAL_RELAY` | Upstream public relay | Relay WebSocket base URL; also derives `REMINAL_WEB` when that is unset | | `REMINAL_WEB` | Upstream public web UI | Web UI URL; also derives `REMINAL_RELAY` when that is unset | | `REMINAL_LOCAL` | — | Set to `1` to point everything at `localhost` | | `REMINAL_OWNERS_DIR` | `/etc/reminal` (`%ProgramData%\reminal` on Windows) | Where the machine's owner list lives (the admin-gated trust store) — override for tests or unusual layouts | | `REMINAL_NO_KEEP_AWAKE` | — | Set to `1` to let the host sleep while reminal runs (defaults to keeping it awake via `caffeinate` / `systemd-inhibit` / `SetThreadExecutionState`) | | `REMINAL_TURN` / `REMINAL_TURN_USER` / `REMINAL_TURN_PASS` | — | Optional TURN server for P2P window mirroring behind hostile NATs (or `REMINAL_TURN_CF_KEY` + `REMINAL_TURN_CF_TOKEN` for Cloudflare TURN). Without one, un-punchable viewers stay on the relay fallback | | `REMINAL_NO_CAPTURE_HELPER` | — | Set to `1` to force the screenshot capture path (skip the native ScreenCaptureKit helper) | | `REMINAL_DEBUG` | — | Set to `1` to append the raw error string to status lines, for diagnosing connection problems | | `SHELL` | `$SHELL`, then probes `/bin/zsh`, `/bin/bash`, `/bin/sh` (Windows: `pwsh` → `powershell` → `cmd`) | Which shell to spawn inside the session | Installs to `~/.local/bin/reminal` (macOS/Linux) or `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\reminal` (Windows) — no sudo/admin needed. Apple Silicon, x86_64, and Windows ARM64. Build from source with `./scripts/build.sh` (Go 1.25+, Swift toolchain on macOS for the native capture helper); on Windows it's a plain `go build ./cmd/reminal`. For a persistent custom default in local builds, copy `reminal.build.env.example` to `reminal.build.env` and set `REMINAL_DEFAULT_RELAY` and/or `REMINAL_DEFAULT_WEB`. The local file is ignored by git and is parsed as inert `KEY=VALUE` data (not executed as shell code). Release workflows use repository variables with the same names, so forks can publish their own defaults; when those variables are absent, the upstream defaults remain intact so ordinary contributor and upstream builds continue to work. --- ## Ready to try it? ```bash curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/harshalgajjar/Reminal/main/install.sh | sh reminal ``` On Windows (PowerShell): ```powershell irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/harshalgajjar/Reminal/main/install.ps1 | iex reminal ``` Scan the QR — you're in.
