Since nobody has said yet, I use screen pretty heavily. Want to run a long running task, starting it from your phone? Run screen to create a detachable session then the long running command. You can then safely close out of your terminal or detach with ctrl a, d and continue in your terminal doing something else. screen -r to get back to it.
I Always forget to run screen first, so I just rely heavily on dtach
Simply change your terminal command to execute the terminal multiplexer of your choice.
man terminal_of_choice, look for (start) command.No thanks, I'm good
