Keep the screen on, and an extra terminal row

Keep the screen awake

Reading long output or watching a build? Turn on Keep Screen On (Settings → Terminal) and the display won’t dim while dotMux is in the foreground with a live connection. It’s off by default, and scoped so it never keeps your screen awake in the background.

A little extra room

On iPhone, dotMux reclaims the dead space at the top of the screen for one more terminal row — small, but every line counts on a phone.

Little touches. A branded animated launch screen — a drifting constellation — plays on cold start, and throughout, dotMux uses native iOS 26 styling: Liquid Glass capsules that respect your system tint.
