Sxmo: Simple X Mobile

Simple menu-driven interface

• Uses suckless tools (dwm, dmenu, st, etc)
• Augmented touch and gesture support
• Menu-driven interface that can also be controlled with hardware buttons
• Community sourced context menu that changes according to the active application (CLI or GUI)

“I really like this; I've been using this for about a week now. I appreciate the developers' willingness to design something with a slight learning curve that works very well, and in part because of this. This demonstrates a level of respect for their end users which I value. I am not saying that this mobile computing environment is hard to use, I am saying that it is highly efficient and effective, and that I have learned things by using it because the people who made this do not condescend through oversimplification.”

SSH as a first class citizen

• Send texts via ssh using your favorite text editor (vis, emacs, vim, etc.)
• Read notifications, texts, etc.
• Access bluetooth, wifi menus

Everything is Scriptable

• Launch user defined scripts at phone calls, texts, etc.
• Bind certain scripts to gestures using lisgd
• Bind button (single/double/triple click) actions to trigger scripts via dwm
• Plain text modem logs, contact list, and sms texts

“Phone calls and text messages are routed through shell scripts, a feature I didn’t know I needed until I saw it in action. Sxmo probably is the killer app for running an actual Linux distribution on your phone.”

Use the same FOSS apps you use on the desktop

• No locked-down app ecosystem
• Runs on traditional Linux distributions like Alpine Linux and postmarketOS optimized for mobile devices
• Use terminal-based applications on a smartphone
