## What is ViSH?

ViSH turns your iPad into a portable, local ARM64 Linux workspace — a real Alpine Linux shell in a terminal designed for touch, with a phosphor-amber interface, 505 color themes with live previews, and a shortcut key bar built for real CLI work. Install packages with apk and use the same command-line tools you rely on at a desktop — no remote server required.

ViSH requires an auto-renewing subscription (yearly or monthly) after a 7-day free trial. Everything described below — the Linux terminal, AI coding CLIs, side panels, SSH tools, and the Setup Guide — requires an active subscription.

Run AI coding CLIs directly on your iPad. Install Claude Code and Codex to pair-program, refactor, and explore codebases right from the terminal. Bring your own account or API key, pick your model, and configure everything through a guided setup.

A complete terminal toolchain:
• Alpine Linux shell with the apk package manager
• Git, SSH, and the OpenSSH client for cloning, committing, and remote work
• Node.js, npm, and pnpm for JavaScript and TypeScript projects
• Editors (nano), fast search (ripgrep), tmux, and common build tools
• Claude Code, Codex, and other terminal coding agents

Designed for iPad:
• Multi-tab terminal sessions in a side rail
• A pinnable shortcut key bar with sticky modifiers and command snippets
• 505 terminal themes in a live gallery, plus coding fonts with glyph previews
• Side panels for Keys, Appearance, Voice input, and SSH
• A guided Setup Guide for hostname, package mirrors, environment variables, and tools
• SSH key management and config editing
• Package mirror configuration for faster installs

Great for:
• Mobile development and quick fixes on the go
• Remote maintenance over SSH
• Running AI coding CLI sessions away from your laptop
• Learning Linux and the command line

Notes:
All app features require an active ViSH subscription after the 7-day free trial. Some Linux features are limited by the iOS sandbox. Third-party tools such as Claude Code and Codex also require your own account or API key with those services, which may involve a separate paid plan purchased outside ViSH.
