## What is Compute?

TO CONNECT TO YOUR LOCAL MAC:
1. Open System Preferences;
2. Type SSH in the search field and select Remote Login option;
3. Enable remote login;
4. Use [hostname].local and your username / password to connect.

We believe that it should be easy to solve any computational problem using any device. That's why we've built Compute. Connect by SSH to your Mac, private server or even AWS instance using your iPhone or iPad. 

It's also possible to use SSH Port Forwarding to run Jupyter or Cloud VSCode to code something on the go.

### 3/5 — Crash

*2025-01-29, version 1.0*

When you use it for 5-10 min it will crash. Other then that the app is perfect

### 3/5 — Good app but port forwarding not working

*2024-03-11, version 1.3*

This is a great app especially as its FREE but the port forwarding seems to stop when the app is put in the background. You have to be able to put in the background to use the port forwarding in the browser for example. If you just want SSH terminal then its great but the port forwarding doesn’t see ok at least in IpadOS 17.4

### 3/5 — Please make edit config

*2022-10-20*

Maybe this will be better if you put config to edit existing credentials and names and order list by name. The app is cool but is missing some configs to make this awesome. 👏

### 5/5 — :)

*2022-07-04*

Excellent. Thank you

### 3/5 — More key types

*2022-01-30*

Maybe allow importing of RSA, ed25519, etc

**Developer response:** Hey Chris, thanks for the review! I've added ed25519 in base64 format in v1.3. Please let me know if it's working for you. Have a good day!

### 5/5 — Very good ssh console

*2021-11-09*

Very grateful for your hard work on this, and for making it for free. Works great to allow me to manage my server right from my device!  ssh via interactive session works great! Thanks again!

**Developer response:** Glad it works for you and thanks a lot for the review! If you have any suggestions feel free to email me. 
Have a good day!
