Your agent works in your terminal. You keep the keyboard.

Conn is a terminal you share with the AI agent you already use. The agent picks up the shell you are in: the server you logged into, the environment you activated, the directory you chose. You watch every command as it runs, approve the risky ones, and take over by typing.
- It starts where you are. Open the SSH session, container or virtualenv yourself, then let the agent continue in that live shell. A password typed at a hidden prompt never reaches it.
- Nothing runs behind your back. Every command the agent submits carries a one-line reason. By default
rm,sudo,git push --force,kubectl deleteand file overwrites wait for your approval, and one approval covers one action. Inside an SSH session, or any program Conn cannot inspect, every agent command waits for your review. - Type to take over. Any keystroke takes control back before the agent's next input reaches the shell. Fix what is wrong, then tell it to read the screen and continue.
- Your agent, your model. Works with Codex, Claude Code, Cursor and GitHub Copilot over MCP. Conn runs no model and needs no extra subscription.
You log in to your server. Your agent asks to delete the whole cache. You say no, type the fix yourself, and it finishes the job. Watch the full film (file) · 한국어 영상 · One continuous take: how it was recorded

- Open Conn and pick your shell under Settings → Profiles.
- Connect your agent. In Settings → Agents, choose your client and press Set up, then restart the client. The first time it connects, Conn shows wants to join: press Allow. Connection guide
- Work in the terminal as usual, then ask your agent: "Look at my Conn terminal and continue from there."
- Interrupt it once. Type while it holds control and watch it hand the keyboard back. The first collaboration walks through this with a disposable folder; no server needed.
For Codex, use the desktop app, CLI or IDE extension with a local task. The conversation stays in your agent client; the terminal is the workspace you share.
| Three modes | Observe: the agent only reads. Co-pilot: it proposes a line and you press Enter. Autopilot: it runs commands and the policy asks when it matters. |
| Approvals | Deny and confirm rules in a plain YAML policy. A dangerous command chained to others is refused and must be sent alone. On a remote host or inside another program, each command is reviewed one at a time. |
| Ask before joining | A new agent connection learns nothing about your sessions until you press Allow. |
| One tab at a time | An agent holds control in a single tab, stays in the session it was given, and never follows your view. |
| A record of what happened | The timeline keeps commands, handoffs, approvals and refusals together, with the agent's stated reasons. |
| Private sessions | Sessions started by an external launcher stay invisible to agents until you share them. |
Typing does not stop a process that is already running; normal terminal controls such as Ctrl-C still apply. Conn is not an operating-system sandbox: commands run with your account's permissions. Agents connect over a local socket, and Conn opens no network port. Trust model · Policy
