About

Intode

Features
Read full description

Intode is an SSH client for developers who work on a remote server from a phone. Connect over SSH, browse the file system over SFTP, read and edit code, and run commands in a terminal. Terminal An xterm-compatible terminal on an SSH PTY channel, with 256-color and TrueColor output and the Catppuccin Mocha palette. The extra key bar supplies the keys a phone keyboard leaves out: Esc, Tab, Shift-Tab, arrow keys, a Ctrl modifier that arms the next keypress, one-tap Ctrl-C, Ctrl-D, Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-L, Ctrl-A, Ctrl-B and Ctrl-O, and the characters ~ | / - _ within reach. File browser An SFTP file tree that loads each directory as you open it, so a large project does not stall on the first listing. Rename, copy, move, delete, and create files and folders. Select several entries to copy, move, or delete them together. Upload files from the device, and download files from the server. Code editor CodeMirror 6 with line numbers and syntax highlighting. TypeScript, JavaScript, JSX, Python, Go, Rust, Java, Kotlin, C, C++, PHP, SQL, YAML, JSON, HTML, CSS, XML and Markdown are built in; other languages load on demand. Files are read and written over SFTP, and the key bar switches to Save, Undo, Redo, brackets and quotes while you edit. Markdown and HTML GitHub Flavored Markdown with tables, task lists and highlighted code blocks. HTML files render in a sandboxed frame, with relative images and stylesheets fetched over SFTP. Images preview inline. SSH keys Generate a key on the device or import an existing one. Private keys are held in the iOS Keychain and are not uploaded anywhere. Web preview Open a development server you are running and see the page inside the app. Reachable addresses are limited to loopback, private and shared address ranges, link-local and .local hostnames. Intode is not a web browser and there is no route from this screen to a public website. Touch details Pinch to zoom the terminal and code editor. Zoom images and the whole rendered Markdown page, including tables and diagrams. Pan to inspect details and tap the zoom percentage to return to fit. Long-press a workspace to rename or delete it. Drag terminal tabs and workspaces to reorder them. Dark, light and follow-the-system appearance. Workspaces Store host, port, user and credentials for each server, and test a connection before saving it. Switch servers from the workspace menu. Intode Pro Intode is free with one workspace, two terminal tabs and two file tabs. Intode Pro is an auto-renewable subscription that lifts those limits and adds split terminal panes (up to four per tab), Git log and diff, project-wide grep, jump host connections, SSH port forwarding, session restore, a console and network log for the web preview, snippets, custom themes, a custom key bar, and Mermaid and KaTeX rendering in Markdown. Two plans are offered: Intode Pro Monthly, billed every month, and Intode Pro Annual, billed every year. The price of each is shown in your local currency on the subscription screen before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, and the subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. Privacy Intode has no user accounts and no server of its own. Hosts, credentials and keys stay on the device. File contents move directly between the device and the server you connect to.
