Works seamlessly with:
How it works
Three steps and you're connected.
Run the relay server
A lightweight menu bar app on macOS. Stays in the background, manages your terminal sessions over an encrypted WebSocket connection.
Open Arcway on your phone
Sign in, and Arcway discovers your relay instantly. Pick a session and you're in.
Full terminal, in your pocket
Run Claude Code, monitor builds, manage servers — a real PTY session from wherever you are.

Why Arcway?
No VPN, no config
The relay handles connectivity. No port forwarding, no SSH tunnels.
Real PTY sessions
Colors, scrollback, interactive programs — exactly like your desktop terminal.
JWT + TLS secured
Only authenticated clients connect. Nothing is exposed publicly.
Self-hostable
Open-source relay server. Run it on any machine you own.
Get Started
Install the host on your Mac, then connect from your phone.
Web access beta
No app needed. Access your terminal directly from any browser. An alternative to the Android and macOS apps — same sessions, same relay.
Open Web AppUses the same relay server as the native apps. Sessions persist across page reloads.
