## Why

I wanted to vibe code from bed. ngrok requires registration and the free tier sucks. Cloudflare Quick Tunnel works great but is hard to use directly on the phone. Termius works after complicated setup: port forwarding, firewall rules, key management... I just wanted something simpler: run a command, scan a QR, start typing.

## Features

- **One command, instant access** - No SSH, no port forwarding, no config files. Cloudflare tunnel + QR code.
- **Actually usable on mobile** - Essential buttons and gestures for everyday terminal use.
- **Multi-tab shared sessions** - Run builds in one tab, tail logs in another. Sessions persist across reconnects.
- **Cross-platform** - Windows (PowerShell, CMD, WSL), Linux/macOS (Bash, Zsh, Fish). Auto-detects your shells.
- **Auto-update** - Checks for updates daily and upgrades automatically when using `uvx`.

## Install

| Method | Install | Update |
|--------|---------|--------|
| **uvx** (no install) | `uvx ptn` | `uvx --refresh ptn` |
| **uv tool** | `uv tool install ptn` | `uv tool upgrade ptn` |
| **pipx** | `pipx install ptn` | `pipx upgrade ptn` |
| **pip** | `pip install ptn` | `pip install -U ptn` |

Requires Python 3.12+ and [cloudflared](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/downloads/) (auto-installed if missing).

## Usage

```bash
ptn                    # Start in current directory
ptn ~/projects/myapp   # Start in specific folder
ptn --no-tunnel        # Local network only
ptn -b                 # Run in background
ptn --init             # Create .ptn/ptn.yaml config
ptn -U                 # Update to latest version
```

## Configuration

Run `ptn --init` to create a starter config, or create `ptn.yaml` manually:

```yaml
buttons:
  - label: "claude"
    send:
      - "claude"
      - 100        # delay in ms
      - "\r"
  - label: "tmux"
    send: "tmux\r"
```

Config is searched in order: `$PORTERMINAL_CONFIG_PATH`, `./ptn.yaml`, `./.ptn/ptn.yaml`, `~/.ptn/ptn.yaml`.

## Security

> **Warning:** The URL is the only authentication. Anyone with the link has full terminal access.

- Don't share the URL
- Stop the server when not in use (`Ctrl+C`)
- Use `--no-tunnel` for local network only
- Environment variables are sanitized (API keys, tokens stripped)
