## What is Termex?

Termex is an SSH client for people who work on real servers from iPhone and iPad. It is built around reliable terminal sessions, strict host-key trust, local secrets, tmux continuity, native SFTP file transfer, and a polished iOS 26 terminal interface.

WHY TERMEX

- Terminal-first SSH. Termex keeps the terminal as the center of the app. Connect to servers, keep sessions readable, use tmux for continuity, and get back to work quickly after backgrounding or relaunch.

- Native SFTP transfer. Upload and download files over SFTP without adding another SSH library or weakening host trust. Transfers use the same server credentials and known-host model as the terminal.

- Current-folder uploads. With optional shell integration, Termex reads OSC 7 current-directory updates from your shell so uploads land where your terminal is open. If no directory has been reported yet, Termex falls back to the server home directory and shows that before starting.

- Strict trust. Known-host validation is enforced before SSH connections. Host-key prompts are serialized and explicit.

- Local secrets. Passwords, keys, and sensitive material stay in Keychain-backed storage. Archive export keeps secrets encrypted with the password you choose.

- tmux continuity. Termex is designed for persistent tmux workflows: attach, detach, reconnect, and resume without treating every background event as a lost session.

WHAT YOU GET

SSH Terminal
A clean iOS terminal built for repeated server work, with reconnect handling, diagnostics, snippets, extra keys, search, terminal themes, and Liquid Glass terminal chrome tuned for keyboard-heavy work.

SFTP File Transfer
Upload local files to the current remote folder, download remote files by path, watch progress, cancel active work, and review recent transfers. Existing destination files can be overwritten, renamed, or skipped.

SHA-256 Verification
After a transfer, Termex asks the remote server to hash the result when sha256sum or shasum is available. Verified transfers are marked clearly. If the server lacks the tool, Termex reports the transfer as completed but unverified.

Shell Integration
Install an optional zsh, bash, or fish snippet so the remote shell reports the current directory. The installer is idempotent and can remove the Termex block again.

Jump Hosts and Agent Paths
Use password, key, key-then-password, jump-host, and agent-forwarding workflows already used by the terminal connection.

Server Archive Transfer
Export and import Termex server data using an encrypted archive. Secrets stay protected and local.

Diagnostics
Create support bundles with connection reports and transcripts when troubleshooting.

Demo Mode
Try the terminal experience without a live server.

IMPORTANT DETAILS

Transfers keep resumable progress for network drops or app pauses. Keep Termex open for best speed. Directory transfer is not built in; create an archive on the server first, then transfer that file.

Termex is not affiliated with OpenSSH, tmux, Apple, or any server provider.

SUBSCRIPTION

Termex is offered as a yearly subscription. A free introductory period may apply at first launch. See the in-app paywall for current terms and price in your region. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled in the App Store at least 24 hours before renewal.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.1 — 2026-06-24

Termex 4.0.1 is a focused follow-up to the Termex 4 release.

- SSH config imports stay usable after the original imported folder is removed.
- Quick Connect and dashboard controls are more compact and closer to standard iOS sizing.
- v4 SSH, SFTP, tmux resume, key, snippet, diagnostics, and local assistance improvements remain intact.
- Live SSH and SFTP coverage has been rechecked across the Linux fixture matrix.

### 3.1.0 — 2026-05-31

Termex 3.1 improves reconnects, transfer reliability, and session cleanup while keeping the terminal-first SSH workflow intact.

Reliability and recovery
- Reconnect retry pacing is smoother on unstable networks.
- File transfers behave more predictably when a session closes or reconnects mid-flight.
- Shared transfer session startup is more reliable during repeated actions.
- Session teardown now cleans up in-flight work more consistently.

Trust and connection safety
- Host-key trust prompts behave more consistently during concurrent connection attempts.
- Validation and cleanup paths around host-key decisions are tighter.
- tmux resume planning and shell quoting are more robust for edge-case commands.

Polish
- Release metadata, support links, and legal links now point at the Termex site.
- Motion and release-language polish landed across the v3.1 pass.

Quality
- Added targeted transport, transfer, and trust coverage across SSHCore and the app.
- Hardened tests now cover reconnect backoff, shared-session races, cancellation, and shell-quoting edge cases.

### 3.0.0 — 2026-05-04

Termex 3.0 adds native SFTP file transfer while keeping the terminal-first workflow intact.

File transfer from the terminal
- Upload files from the terminal chrome with the new transfer button.
- Download remote files by path without leaving the session.
- Transfers are scoped per server and continue even if the terminal tab is closed.
- Active and recent transfers are visible from the toolbar and Transfers sheet.

Current folder detection
- Termex reads OSC 7 current-directory updates from your remote shell.
- Uploads can land in the directory where your terminal is currently open.
- If the shell has not reported a directory yet, Termex falls back to the SFTP home directory and shows that clearly.
- A built-in shell integration installer can add the OSC 7 snippet to zsh, bash, or fish.

Integrity and safety
- Uploads use temporary remote files and finalize only after the write completes.
- SHA-256 verification checks transferred bytes against the remote server when sha256sum or shasum is available.
- Integrity mismatch is reported as a failed transfer.
- Existing files trigger an overwrite, rename, or cancel choice, with "apply to all" for the current batch.
- Large uploads warn before starting, and resumable progress is kept for network drops or app pauses.

SFTP core
- New SFTP v3 protocol support built on the existing SSH transport.
- No new SSH dependency.
- Known-host enforcement remains the same as terminal connections.
- Key, password, jump-host, and agent-forwarding connection paths are preserved.

Terminal and reliability
- tmux resume behavior remains intact.
- Local secrets stay in Keychain-backed storage.
- First-connection host-key trust prompts now match the app design more closely.
- iOS 26 Liquid Glass styling has been applied across terminal chrome, transfer controls, status badges, cards, and pinned actions.
- Terminal toolbar actions now keep upload, download, port-forward, search, and session options together at the top of the session.
- The terminal keyboard accessory keeps the keyboard-dismiss action fixed while extra keys scroll and fade underneath without stray tap targets.
- Demo mode, diagnostics, route restore, and app wipe behavior stay compatible with the v3 refactor.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-03-14

- bug fixes on SSH keys

### 1.1.2 — 2026-03-08

- fixed issue where resume session would display incorrectly
- added smaller text support
