a vs Para Swift

a-Shell is a complete local terminal emulator, allowing to run most Unix commands on your iOS device. You can transfer files using scp and curl, edit them with vim and ed, process them using grep, awk and sed. You can work with git repositories using lg2.  Most commands are compiled for iOS native Arm64 format, making them fast and well integrated with the BSD Unix that powers iOS/iPadOS. a-Shell includes Python, Lua, Perl, JavaScript, C, C++ for programming and TeX (texlive 2025, with Tikz and LuaTeX) for text processing. There are also multiple network utilities: nslookup, ping, whois, ifconfig... Type help for help, help -l to get the full list of commands. a-Shell can be controlled from Shortcuts: run commands in order, process files in a-Shell, get the results as text or files, transfer files to other apps... a-shell uses iOS 13+ “multiple windows” ability, so you can run multiple shells at the same time, with different commands, in different directories. You can edit a file in one window with vim and process it in the other with python. Compile your C or C++ programs to webAssembly using clang or clang++, and execute the resulting binary. A complete webAssembly SDK is included (WASI-libc). a-Shell is the complete version. If you need a smaller app, and you don't need a C compiler, a TeX engine, or numpy and matplotlib, there is a-Shell mini.

Para Auth & Wallet is a lightweight companion that lets anyone try Para’s secure authentication and wallet flows on iOS. Create an account with email, phone, Apple, Google, or Discord; manage linked sign-in methods; and try a secure, on-device wallet with sample actions. No paywalls, no placeholders—everything you see works out of the box. What you can do: • Sign in your way: Email, phone (OTP), Apple, Google, or Discord. • Link & manage providers: Add/remove sign-in methods from your account. • On-device wallet: Generate a wallet, view your public address, and sign a sample message. • Optional MetaMask deep-link: If installed, connect MetaMask for a handoff flow; if not, you’ll see a clear prompt to install it. • Data control: Delete your account from the profile menu anytime. This app is useful for developers and non-developers alike: it demonstrates secure, privacy-minded auth and wallet flows with a simple, fully functional UI. It does not require crypto purchases and works with sample/test actions to keep things safe for exploration. Why Para Para builds modern auth and embedded wallets for apps. This companion app lets you experience the core flows in minutes on your iPhone. Support Questions or feedback? Visit getpara.com or contact support@getpara.com.
