  • Beautiful

    What a fantastic app! My use cases are: 1) true plain text editing for iOS (i can mount my iCloud drive and use vim to edit text files...finally I can edit plaintext without using some other GUI-based 3rd-party app and I can sidestep Apple's Notes app which is fine but littered with too much style formatting assumptions...it's not pure plain text)❤️, 2) running python terminal apps (super lightweight and no fluff...a beautiful, purist way to run text parsing and data/file manipulation tools)❤️, 3) generating .wav or .aiff files with sox which can be saved to my mounted iCloud folder and then played on the iPhone❤️

  • Amazing App

    This is an amazing app, please can you guys keep updating it? it should take more resources and i dont mind paying for it. Possibly make an ubuntu version. Please i love this app and i have been using it to do so much even installed pip, python3 and more on it and it has been amazing. I cannot over emphasize how useful this tool has been and i dont want it to die. Best devops, sys admin, programming and learning tool i have seen for the ipad. Please update and release newer versions and more distros. this is even better than using emulators.

  • Holy Cow It’s Real!

    I have a few headless Raspberry Pi’s that I use in my home and one day I decide I want to SSH into them on my phone from the couch. Turns out none of the SSH apps that come up on App Store can connect. They are all flashy bloated apps that aren’t suited for me. Then I found this app and how to install OpenSSH apk. So happy this app exists for everyone that is comfortable with CLI and doesn’t require me to learn something new.
