About CLIAnywhere
CLIAnywhere is a remote terminal application for developers, system administrators, and other users who need a shell on their own Windows, macOS, or Linux computer from an iOS or Android device or a web browser. Its host daemon keeps terminal sessions running on the computer, so users can disconnect and reconnect or switch between desktop and mobile clients without losing the session. An account can link multiple PCs and terminals. CLIAnywhere also provides a file browser with downloads and access to localhost or private LAN web applications on the host. Connections use peer-to-peer networking when possible, with an encrypted relay fallback; no public IP address or port forwarding is required. The host daemon is available under the Business Source License 1.1; personal and internal use is free, while commercial resale or hosting requires a separate license. A free mobile tier is ad-supported; optional Plus ($2.99) and Pro ($9.99) subscriptions are ad-free.
