Portty is a terminal-sharing utility developed and published by Corvux Mindware, designed to let developers securely share a terminal session with a paired phone. Its core purpose is twofold: first, it exposes a terminal over an encrypted peer-to-peer link so that the session can be accessed remotely from the paired device, and second, it enables the user to approve coding-agent actions directly from their pocket, meaning decisions that would normally require physical presence at the workstation can instead be confirmed from the phone while away from the keyboard. The software falls squarely into the developer-tools and remote-access category, combining secure terminal sharing with remote approval workflows for agent-driven coding sessions. Typical use cases include monitoring a long-running or agent-assisted terminal session without remaining at the desk, granting or denying permissions requested by a coding agent in real time, and maintaining continuity of work when stepping away from the machine, all while keeping the connection private through its encrypted peer-to-peer design rather than routing through intermediary infrastructure. Installation provides two commands that define the product's architecture: the portty command, which wraps and shares a terminal session, and the portty-host command, which runs the paired-device host daemon responsible for the host side of the pairing. Together these two components establish the link between the terminal environment and the paired phone. The current release of Portty is version 0.1.2, and at present this is the only published version available, with the catalog recording a single version entry for the software. As an early-stage release, Portty 0.1.2 represents the initial distribution of the tool from Corvux Mindware, delivering the foundational capabilities of secure terminal sharing, paired-phone access, and pocket-based approval of coding-agent actions through its dual-command installation.
