Not tested on a device yet. What that means
dtach in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own dtach package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so dtach should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.
Commands in the package
dtach
Type it in Breadstick's Terminal to start the program.
Multiplexers and session tools run inside Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, as they do on a Linux PC. More in the docs: The Terminal.
About dtach
From Debian's package description
dtach is a tiny program that emulates the detach feature of screen, allowing you to run a program in an environment that is protected from the controlling terminal and attach to it later. dtach does not keep track of the contents of the screen, and thus works best with programs that know how to redraw themselves.
dtach does not, however, have the other features of screen, such as its support of multiple terminals or its terminal emulation support. This makes dtach extremely tiny compared to screen, making it more easily audited for bugs and security holes, and also allows it to fit in environments where space is limited, such as on rescue disks.
From Debian's description of the dtach package, under that package's license.
