I tried a bunch of remote SSH or Mosh apps but Blink is my absolute favorite. I sometimes want to do a bit of development work on my iPad. I'm impressed with Blink. It supports a full 24-bit color terminal and my Emacs displays just like the display on X. I also like the fact that SSH private keys can be stored on the Secure Enclave for better security. I originally thought it weird that it immediately started as a pseudo shell on the iPad from which you launch ssh or mosh or config, but I've grown to really like that approach.
