About
Pockterm is a native SSH and SFTP client built for iPhone. Free and open source.
CONNECT
- SSH into your servers with passwords or Ed25519/RSA keys
- Trusted host-key verification warns you if a server's key ever changes
- Multiple live sessions; minimize one and pick it back up from the tab bar
BIG SCREEN
- Plug in video glasses like VITURE, or a monitor or TV, and the terminal fills that screen
- Your phone keeps the keyboard and key bar, and shows the session's files where the terminal was
- Its own text size for the glasses, a Paste button, and PgUp/PgDn through the scrollback
MANAGE
- Organize hosts into groups
- Save reusable command snippets
- Generate and store SSH keys in the iOS Keychain
- Set up local and remote port forwards
TRANSFER
- Browse, upload, and download files over SFTP
- Upload from Files, iCloud Drive or your photo library, several files at once
AI ASSISTANT (optional)
- Ask an AI assistant about terminal output and get suggested commands
- Bring your own API key: Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Hugging Face
- Off by default; you're told which provider receives data before anything is sent
PRIVACY
- No account, no Pockterm servers, no tracking or analytics
- Credentials and keys live in the iOS Keychain
- Your connection data stays on your device
OPEN SOURCE
- The full source is on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 licence: github.com/jhancock1975/pockterm
