YOUR MACHINE. YOUR SESSION.

Leave your desk.
Keep your terminal.

Check a build. Continue a coding session. Take back control.
Otak connects your browser to real terminals running on your own machines.

A browser away
from your work.

Otak uses a small command-line tool on your machine and a browser on the device you’re holding.

  1. 01

    Link your machine

    Install the host tool on Linux or macOS, sign in with an email code, and approve the machine. The host needs tmux.

  2. 02

    Start and share a session

    Run your shell or terminal program through the host tool. Sharing is an explicit choice; local sessions stay local until you enable it.

  3. 03

    Pair your browser. Take control.

    Confirm the pairing fingerprint, select a session, and take control. Reconnect to the same process when you switch devices.

02 / STAY IN CONTROL

Remote access.
Local ownership.

Bring your own machine

Your laptop, workstation or cloud server runs the commands. Otak’s service routes the connection. It doesn’t supply compute.

Disconnect without stopping

Closing the browser detaches from a session. Stopping the process is a separate, confirmed action. Rebooting the host still ends its processes.

One controller at a time

Take control when you’re ready to type. Other views observe. Your local terminal can reclaim control, and you can turn sharing off.

A clear trust boundary.

Terminal input and output are encrypted between the host and paired browser. The relay still handles account and connection metadata. Your browser and host see the content; this isn’t a claim of independently audited security.

03 / COMING ONLINE

Your next terminal
doesn’t need a new tab.

We’re preparing Otak’s hosted launch. The app will live at app.runotak.com.
