About
An SSH terminal for people who carry their servers with them.
No ads. No in-app purchases. No account to create, and nothing collected about you.
■ Built for tablets
On a wide screen, the profile list and the terminal sit side by side. On a phone it folds down to one screen at a time.
Connect a Bluetooth keyboard and the on-screen keyboard gets out of the way. When you do need it, it never covers the terminal — the terminal shrinks to make room instead, so no output is ever hidden.
■ No limits
Unlimited connection profiles. Unlimited open tabs. Nothing locked behind a paywall.
■ CJK input
Type Korean, Japanese, and Chinese in the terminal. The keyboard opens in the language you set the app to (when that keyboard is enabled on your device), and a language toggle is provided for physical keyboards.
■ Sessions survive a quick switch
Switch to another app for a moment and come back — your session is still there. iOS pauses apps in the background, so if the server drops a long-idle connection, reconnect from the same tab in one tap.
■ Everything you would expect
- SFTP file manager: upload, download, rename, delete
- Command snippets: save what you type often, run it in one tap
- Profile backup: export and import as a password-protected file
- Bundled coding fonts: D2Coding (fixed-width Hangul), JetBrains Mono
- Colour schemes and adjustable text size
■ Authentication
Password, private keys (PEM/OpenSSH), and keyboard-interactive. Import key files from your device and they are stored safely.
On first connection the host key fingerprint is shown for you to verify, and you are warned if a stored key ever changes. It is never accepted silently.
■ How your data is stored
Connection details never leave your device. The whole database is encrypted and its key is held in the iOS Keychain. Passwords and key passphrases get a second layer of encryption on top.
Nothing is sent to the developer. This app has no server.
■ Languages
English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Spanish, Arabic
Open-source licence notices are available in the app's settings.

What's New in OSTerm
1.1.0
October 23, 2026
New: AI assistant (optional, off by default) • Ask an AI about what is on the terminal screen — error messages, logs, what to try next. • Suggested commands come with Run and Type only buttons. Nothing runs unless you tap it. • After running, tap "Show result and continue" so the AI sees the new screen. • Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, or your own server (Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp and other OpenAI-compatible servers). • Uses your own API key. Requests go straight from your device to the service you choose — nothing passes through us. Turn it on in Settings → AI assistant.
