Add a remote host

1. Open the Remote SSH tab in back2vibing.
2. Enter your SSH connection string, such as user@host or an SSH config alias.
3. Toggle the connection On.

back2vibing installs the remote event forwarder automatically when you enable the connection.

Use remote agents

1. Start an agent on the remote machine over SSH, or inside a remote tmux session.
2. Leave the SSH connection enabled while the agent runs.
3. Continue working locally.

Remote agent completion and permission events trigger local completion chimes, macOS notifications, and Session Dock cards on your Mac.

Click the Session Dock card or notification to switch to your terminal SSH session.

Troubleshooting connection setup

• Accept the host key in a normal SSH session before enabling the connection in back2vibing.
• Keep the remote host reachable while the agent runs.
• Check the saved connection in Remote SSH if events stop arriving.

See Troubleshooting if the connection still does not work.
