## What is TermLink?

TermLink turns your iPhone into a compact SSH companion for AI coding, server checks, and remote file handoff.

Connect to your own SSH host with a password, an imported ed25519/ECDSA key, or a key pair generated in the app, copy the public key, and keep the setup steps close to the terminal. Upload screenshots or photos over SCP, then pass the remote path to Codex, Claude Code, or another AI coding workflow without retyping it.

The local workspace stays inside the iOS app sandbox. Built-in commands cover file navigation, JSON formatting, Base64 encode/decode, and JavaScriptCore-backed Node-compatible snippets for safe learning and small experiments.

Key features:
- SSH profile setup: password authentication (stored only in this device's Keychain), import of existing OpenSSH ed25519/ECDSA private keys, including passphrase-protected keys (the passphrase is never stored)
- 3-step ed25519 key setup: create, register on your server, test the connection. Switch an existing profile to the new key
- Free quick-reply bar: 1, 2, 3, Enter, Esc, y and Shift+Tab in one tap to answer Claude Code and Codex prompts
- Optional Face ID / Touch ID protection for private keys and saved passwords
- Remote shell access from iPhone
- SCP image upload and remote path handoff
- Snippets for frequent SSH commands and AI prompts
- Sandboxed local files and bundled command shims
- JSON formatter, Base64 tools, and JavaScriptCore snippets
- Japanese IME support and app language switching
- Adjustable terminal font size
- Optional Pro themes, multiple tabs, multiple SSH profiles, multiple snippets, and remote path insertion

RSA keys are not supported. Passphrase-protected keys are supported in OpenSSH format (ssh-keygen's default encryption). Password authentication requires PasswordAuthentication to be enabled on the server.

TermLink is built as an SSH companion, a command-line learning tool, and an AI coding handoff surface. It is not a native package manager, an external code store, or a way to run downloaded native executables after review.

Japanese:
TermLink は、iPhone から SSH ホストや AI コーディング環境へつなぐための端末ワークスペースです。SSH 接続（パスワード認証・パスフレーズ付きを含む鍵の読み込み・Face ID での鍵の保護に対応）、クイック返信バー、SCP 画像アップロード、Codex / Claude Code 向けのリモートパス連携、サンドボックス内ファイル操作、JSON 整形、Base64 変換、スニペット、Pro テーマなどを利用できます。アプリ外のコードをダウンロードして実行するネイティブパッケージマネージャーではありません。

Protect private keys and saved passwords with Face ID / Touch ID (Settings > Security).

RSA and passphrase-protected keys are not supported yet. Existing profiles keep working.

The usage panel can now be switched on or off. When off, tap a card to open the official usage page.

Added an optional App Store rating request after a successful SCP image upload or successful SSH connections on three different days. Requests wait until typing and sheets have settled, with limits on repeat requests.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-06-21

New Snippets make frequent SSH commands and AI prompts easier to reuse. Use `{{remote_path}}` with Pro to insert the latest SCP-uploaded image path into Codex or Claude Code prompts.

Also improved terminal status, TUI and swipe behavior, scrollback controls, Japanese IME composing display, line endings, tmux/screen persistence, completion behavior, and image-upload verification.

日本語:
スニペット機能で、よく使う SSH コマンドや Codex / Claude Code 向けプロンプトを保存して入力欄へ挿入できます。Pro では `{{remote_path}}` に最新の SCP アップロード画像パスを差し込めます。端末状態表示、TUI/スワイプ、スクロールバック、IME 入力表示、改行処理、tmux/screen セッション維持、補完、アップロード後検証も改善しました。
