About AFK
Built by developers, for developers who need to stay connected to their work.
The Problem
You're at dinner when your phone buzzes. Production is down. You need to check logs, restart a service, maybe run a quick fix. But you're not at your laptop.
SSH apps exist, but they're clunky. Mobile terminal emulators are painful. And if you're using Claude Code, you need your exact terminal session - not a new one.
The Solution
AFK streams your actual terminal session to your phone. Not a new SSH connection - your real, live terminal. You see what you'd see on your desktop, and you can type commands as if you were sitting there.
It's encrypted end-to-end, so we can't see your data. It's fast enough to feel local. And it works with any terminal command - bash, Python, Claude Code, vim, whatever.
The Technology
AFK is built with Rust for performance and safety. The mobile apps use native UI with a shared Rust core via FFI. The encryption uses industry-standard primitives (X25519 ECDH, AES-256-GCM) in a zero-knowledge architecture.
The backend runs on DigitalOcean using NixOS for reproducible deployments. Everything is open source, so you can audit the security yourself.
Thaker Innovations
AFK is built by Thaker Innovations, a small software studio focused on developer tools and infrastructure. We believe good tools should be secure by default, fast by design, and simple to use.
