Using this with tmux and various VPN tech. Main issue is scrolling. Termius + tmux don't scroll very well. And I've been led to believe tmux is necessary to keep sessions open when I turn off my phone screen

Scrolling is quite jenky with Termius - I thought there's a way to keep sessions going when there are intermittent drops in connection via Termius, but for how I've been building, when I lose connection I just restart claude and reexplain the context of the task.

I had this exact issue. I switched to Blink on iOS which seems inferior to Termius in every way except that scrolling tmux actually works.

I’m the Blink developer and really curious. Which way do you think Blink is inferior? I think the ssh/mosh tooling is way more powerful, keyboard config, etc. But would love to improve what I can. Currently working on new UI and better access to hosts, so it is a good time.

Sorry to have missed this. First, props that Blink is indeed superior in that it actually works.

My recollection is that the primary way Termius "feels better" is the pre-terminal UI (configuring hosts, etc).

But I'm still a daily Blink user, so I don't 100% recall what Termius did to make me think it was nicer, I just remember that scrolling was fucked so I gave up on it.

In `~/.tmux.conf` try adding `set -g mouse on`, for mouse scrolling

Yes, you need tmux/similar to keep things running.

try setting set -g mouse on in your tmux config. With this I'm able to scroll up by using two fingers in termius.
