>_ Arcway: Remote Agents

Your terminal,
anywhere you go.

Arcway gives you secure, real-time terminal access to your Mac or Linux machine from your phone — no VPN, no port forwarding.

Works seamlessly with:

How it works

Three steps and you're connected.

1
Mac / Linux

Run the relay server

A lightweight menu bar app on macOS. Stays in the background, manages your terminal sessions over an encrypted WebSocket connection.

2
Android / iOS

Open Arcway on your phone

Sign in, and Arcway discovers your relay instantly. Pick a session and you're in.

3
Anywhere

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 App
Browser-based control

Uses the same relay server as the native apps. Sessions persist across page reloads.

On the roadmap

What's being built next.

Interface

Voice Mode

Control your remote terminal with voice commands. Speak your intent, Arcway handles the rest.

Coming Soon
Platform

Linux Relay

Native relay server support for Linux hosts. Full parity with the macOS menu bar app.

Coming Soon

Self-host your relay

Open-source. Two steps to run your own.

01

Start the relay

git clone https://github.com/karthik24iyer/arcway-relay-server cd arcway-relay-server docker compose up -d
02

Pair your apps

Open Arcway on Mac, toggle Self Host, enter your relay URL. The pair code appears in the app — enter it on your phone the same way.

Requirements
  • Docker
  • A domain pointing at the host
