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.

This is a TCP/UDP network protocol debugging tool that makes network debugging as easy as chatting with friends, turning tedious network debugging into something fun. 【Core Features】 • TCP/UDP Server Create local servers that listen on specified ports and accept client connections. Configure auto-reply (reply to any message or pattern-matched messages). • TCP/UDP Client Connect to local or remote servers for real-time message sending and receiving. Supports connection status monitoring and automatic reconnection. • Message Formats Supports three formats: plain text, hexadecimal, and Base64. Configurable text encoding (UTF-8, etc.). • DNS Query Query common DNS servers like Google DNS, Cloudflare DNS, and 114 DNS to resolve domain records. • Replay Testing Supports message replay: save your sent messages and automatically resend them every second.
