VisitRMUX vs TermDock
What both publish
| Fact | RMUX | TermDock |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Install options include package managers, prebuilt installers, and Cargo; the docs say quick installers verify SHA256. | The project also documents building from source with Go on Linux, macOS, or WSL. |
| Integrations | The project documents a ratatui integration widget and a Claude Code teammate mode that runs Claude inside a local RMUX workspace. | It provides a scripting CLI for commands such as send-keys, split-window, new-window, and select-pane, and its status bar can show a Git branch. |
| License | RMUX is dual-licensed under MIT or Apache License 2.0. | The repository identifies the project as MIT licensed. |
| Limit | The Python and TypeScript SDKs require the RMUX binary to be installed first. | After a crash, TermDock restores the layout and screen text but does not recover running processes or their state. |
| Platforms | RMUX documents native support for Windows, macOS, and Linux; Windows uses ConPTY and named pipes, while macOS and Linux use Unix PTYs and Unix-domain sockets. | The maker lists native Linux packages and macOS archives for amd64 and arm64. |
| Security | During Web Share, shells and PTYs stay on the local daemon while the browser decrypts encrypted terminal updates locally; tunnels carry encrypted frames. | The repository documents a server-enforced read-only attach mode; it does not state security certifications or compliance claims on the pages reviewed. |

Pick TermDock if…
TermDock suits terminal users who need persistent split-pane sessions after detaching or losing SSH connections. It also fits users wanting read-only session sharing and command-history tools.
