sudoterm Phase 1 is live

If you've ever ssh-ed into a VPS only to discover your session died when the hotel WiFi blinked, this is for you. sudoterm gives you persistent terminals on your own box, with a real UI, mobile support, AI assistance, and a one-command install.

What's in Phase 1

• Persistent sessions — tmux + node-pty, your shell stays alive across SSH

drops, browser closes, and VPS reboots.

• Block-based output — every command + its output is a visual unit you can

copy, share, or ask AI about.

• AI sidebar with 4 providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Deepseek. Bring

your own key.

• Notes + 100+ command cheat sheet — your runbook lives next to your

terminal.

• One-command install — curl -fsSL sudoterm.com/install | bash is the

whole onboarding flow.

• Cloudflare Tunnel — free <yourname>.sudoterm.com subdomain, no inbound

ports required.

• Self-hosted, MIT-licensed — your VPS, your data. We don't see your

traffic.

Why now

ttyd has been around for years. tmux has been around for almost twenty. What's new in 2026 isn't the building blocks — it's the assumption that you want a real UI on top of them, and that the AI sidebar shouldn't require shipping your terminal output to a SaaS.

What's next

Phase 2 will add:

• Custom domains
• Cross-device session sync (cloud option)
• Team workspaces (Phase 3)
• OSC 133 semantic-prompt support for richer block detection
• Editable cheat sheet

The self-hosted core stays free, MIT, and the surface area you already installed.
