Terminal Boss 🖥️

by Phillip Holland

Terminal Boss runs terminal jobs and terminal coding agents (Grok Build, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, Gemini CLI, opencode, Aider, or a plain shell) from Grok Bot on your phone or desktop. It works on your own online computer, whether Mac, Linux, or Windows (via WSL), or on Grok Bot's own always-on computer, starting jobs in named background sessions, pinging you the moment they finish, relaying questions and results, and stopping them on request.
