Overview
VibeTunnel runs a TypeScript/Node.js server that proxies terminal sessions to a web UI built with Lit and ghostty-web, served on port 4020. The `vt` wrapper forwards any command, such as a coding agent, to the browser, and sessions are recorded in asciinema format. It ships as a macOS menu bar app for Apple Silicon or an npm package for Linux and headless systems.
Who it is for: Developers who want browser or phone access to terminal-based coding agents
Strengths
- `vt` command forwards any CLI command or shell alias to the browser
- Remote access via Tailscale Serve/Funnel, ngrok, Cloudflare, Pinggy or Pangolin
- Auth modes: system/PAM, env-var credentials, Ed25519 SSH keys
- Git follow mode keeps the main checkout on the branch an agent uses in a worktree
Weaknesses
- Native macOS app requires Apple Silicon; Intel Macs only get the npm package
- Windows is not supported
- iOS app is work in progress and not recommended for production
- npm package supports only Node.js 22.12 through 24.x
What it needs
- no GPU
- Needs Node.js 22.12-24.x (npm package), Tailscale (optional), ngrok (optional), cloudflared (optional)
- port 4020
