About:
Mosh is a remote terminal application that allows persistent terminal sessions over intermittent connections. It uses UDP to maintain state, enabling seamless roaming between networks and surviving IP changes. The tool provides instant reconnection and local echo for a responsive experience on high-latency links.
Key Features:
  • UDP-based protocol for low latency and roaming
  • Persistent sessions that survive network changes
  • Local echo and line editing for responsiveness
  • Works across SSH and supports IPv6
Use Cases:
  • Mobile development over cellular networks
  • Working on servers with unstable connections
  • Roaming between Wi-Fi and VPN networks
  • Remote access from high-latency regions
Alternatives:
  • ssh – Standard encrypted shell; drops sessions on network changes and lacks roaming
  • tmux – Session persistence inside the terminal; does not solve network handoffs or UDP roaming
