## What is Outer Loop?

Outer Loop makes it fun to use servers. It is a specialized browser that connects to private web apps over SSH. Classically, this was something you would do on a computer by running a "port forwarding" command in a terminal. Outer Loop integrates SSH tunneling directly into the browser, using a custom SSH engine designed for mobile.

Features:
- Log in without a password and without manually copying SSH keys. Outer Loop gives you a command to paste into a terminal, and you can fetch servers from your other devices, without ever letting a private key leave your device.
- Connect to any port on a remote machine by just typing it.
- Every server has its own homepage of web apps.
- Choose from the large number of available webserver-based apps. You can now easy use those from your iPhone and iPad, without having to expose them to the public internet.
