Not tested on a device yet. What that means
reptyr in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own reptyr package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so reptyr 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
reptyr
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 reptyr
From Debian's package description
reptyr is a utility for taking an existing running program and attaching it to a new terminal, and is particularly useful for moving a long-running process into a GNU screen session.
reptyr does a more thorough job of transferring programs than many other tools, including the popular "screenify" shell script, because it changes the program's controlling terminal. This means that actions such as window resizes and interrupts are sent to the process from the new terminal.
From Debian's description of the reptyr package, under that package's license.
