Matadoor

Matadoor puts your Mac's terminal and AI coding agents in your pocket.

Pair your iPhone or iPad with the free Matadoor Host app on your Mac and drive real shell sessions and agents — Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor — from anywhere, over a direct, end-to-end-encrypted peer-to-peer connection.

• Terminals — a full PTY with a real terminal emulator
• Agents — launch and steer the coding agents installed on your Mac
• Pairing — scan a QR code; your Mac approves each device with an X25519 key exchange
• Private by design — no Matadoor servers, no accounts, no telemetry. Built on the iroh peer-to-peer library: a direct, end-to-end-encrypted link when your devices can reach each other, with encrypted relay fallback for restrictive networks.
• Live Activities — see an agent's status on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Notifications — know the moment an agent needs your input or a session finishes

One-time purchase. No subscription.
