Termdeck next to the tools you already use.

Each page says what the other tool does well, where it stops, and what Termdeck adds. Your agents run on your own machines either way; the difference is how you reach them, how many machines you see at once, and where approvals land.

Per engine

A web UI for each CLI

Claude Code web UI

Run the Claude Code CLI on your own machine and drive it from any browser or phone: streamed transcripts, tool approvals and rendered diffs.

Codex CLI web UI

The OpenAI Codex CLI in a browser tab, with the rollout streamed live, diffs to review, and Claude Code chats in the same sidebar.

Grok CLI web UI

Grok Build on your machine, its sessions in the browser, and its permission prompts on your phone.

Codex CLI vs Claude Code

The two CLIs side by side: install, sign-in, approvals, sandboxing, sessions and instruction files, and how to run both in one UI.

Terminals and editors

Instead of keeping a terminal open

Termdeck vs tmux

tmux keeps a session alive but shows you raw terminal output. Termdeck keeps every agent session alive and adds approvals, diffs, push and a board of every run.

Termdeck vs VS Code Remote-SSH

Remote-SSH brings a whole editor to one remote box. Termdeck brings every Claude Code, Codex and Grok session on every machine into one tab.

Termdeck vs cmux

cmux is a native Mac terminal built for running agents side by side. Termdeck puts every session on every machine, any OS, in one browser tab.

Termdeck vs Claude Squad

Claude Squad runs agents in tmux sessions and git worktrees on one machine. Termdeck reaches every machine from a browser, with approvals on your phone.

Termdeck vs Vibe Kanban

Vibe Kanban plans agent work on a local board and is now community maintained. Termdeck drives Claude Code, Codex and Grok on every machine you own.

Phones and remote control

Instead of another remote app

Claude Code Remote Control alternative

Remote Control hands one live Claude Code session to your phone. Termdeck shows every session on every machine, terminal ones included, plus Codex and Grok.

Termdeck vs Happy Coder

Happy puts sessions you start through its wrapper on your phone. Termdeck picks up every session on every machine, however it was started.

Claude Dispatch vs Remote Control

Dispatch sends a new task from your phone to Claude Desktop; Remote Control steers a Claude Code session already running. Where Termdeck fits next to both.
