Mosh (short for Mobile Shell) is a free and open-source remote terminal application that is designed to provide a more robust and responsive experience than SSH.

Some of the main features of Mosh include:

  • The ability to reconnect to a session after an interruption, such as when switching between Wi-Fi networks or when losing your internet connection.
  • The ability to roam freely between different networks without interrupting your session.
  • Support for Unicode and other character encodings.
  • The ability to display colors and other formatting in the terminal.
  • The ability to use the local keyboard layout, even when connected to a remote server.
  • The ability to run in a client-server model, where the server can be accessed from multiple clients.
