mosh
brew install mosh
v1.4.0_40
GPL-3.0-or-later
Remote terminal application with support for roaming, intermittent connectivity, and responsive local echo.
Why you might care
Mosh (mobile shell) extends SSH with automatic reconnection when your network drops or you switch networks—essential for laptops and mobile users. It predicts keystrokes locally for immediate feedback even on high-latency connections, making remote work feel snappier. Drop-in replacement for SSH in most workflows, written in C++.
