Show HN: Haven – persistent SSH sessions without tmux (opens in new tab)

Hey HN! I built Haven because I wanted the feeling of the native MacOS terminals with all of my work across different remote GPU machines. Before Haven I had multiple vs code windows SSH'd into different machines, each running tmux. I'm now 100% on Haven and my token usage has nearly doubled since the switch (in a good way), and seems to reduce my cognitive load with managing multiple agents. Still early development but would love to get some feedback from SSH-heavy devs & ml eng. - Christian

Interesting—what’s the failure mode compared to tmux/screen? With tmux I mostly rely on the server-side persistence, so even if my client drops completely I can just reattach. Are you maintaining state client-side, or is there still something running server-side to keep sessions alive?

Server-side yes - the app ships with its own open-source remote daemon that gets setup when you connect to the server

Love this already using the mac version and it has helped me keep tabs on my agents even when I'm in transit
