Coding multiple projects on your iphone has never been easier! Flip between multiple terminal screens, and even send camera shots & voice commands to your AI Coding agents like Claude, Codex, Kimi, Antigravity, and more! Terminal Champion SSH Mobile is a desktop-style terminal app built for the agentic era. REAL, DESKTOP-STYLE TERMINALS IN YOUR HANDS • Persistent Multi-Sessioning: Run multiple concurrent sessions and flip between tabs instantly. Drop your connection entirely while your work keeps running — reconnect and pick up right where you left off. • True xterm Compatibility: Full color, Unicode, and flawless rendering for CJK, Korean, and right-to-left scripts with fluid, on-device input composition. • Touch-Native Mechanics: One-finger scrollback, pinch-to-resize, and tap-to-position cursor control. • Developer Key Row: Immediate access to Esc, Tab, Ctrl, arrows, pipes, and a hold-to-repeat delete key. • Immersive Visual Modes: Go beyond layout — drop your terminal into themed environments like Neon City, Bubblegum, Coding Cowboy, each with its own backdrop and styling. DESIGNED FOR USING AI CODING AGENTS • Full Camera Integration: Snap a photo or paste a screenshot, whiteboard, or architecture diagram. Push it straight into your active session without ever leaving the terminal window. • On-Device Voice Prompts: Dictate complex commands and agent prompts. Speech recognition runs entirely local and on-device. • One-Tap Macro Execution: Save complex session-resume strings or agent commands and re-run them instantly. • Smart Navigation: Bookmark critical milestones in your scrollback history to jump backward and forward instantly. • Branch Mechanics: When an AI agent is active, enter /fork in the command line to instantly start a new tab with the forked conversation. You'll now have two tabs (original and forked). You can continue to make additional forks. • Touch Selection: Select, copy, and pipe terminal output using an intuitive, touch-native menu. ORGANIZE YOUR WORKSPACE • Visual Identity: Give every terminal session a distinct layout and appearance so you always know exactly where you are executing code. • Workspace Overview: Group related project sessions together and fluidly jump between environments from a high-level bird's-eye view. • Dynamic Themes: Toggle between a clean modern layout, a space-saving vertical setup, or a full 1992 retro mode. POWER FEATURES & IRONCLAD PRIVACY • Pro Workflows: Built-in port forwarding for complex local development and an integrated SFTP client to browse and transfer remote assets directly inside the native iOS Files app. • Keychain Security: Seamlessly import private keys. Passwords, passphrases, and keys are guarded exclusively by the iOS Keychain. • Private by Design: Strictly local-first. Your hosts, keys, and session history never leave your hardware. • Secure Handshakes: Strict trust-on-first-use (TOFU) host-key verification paired with proactive tamper detection. PAIR WITH YOUR MAC • Send images taken with your iphone camera directly to your Mac's prompt screen. Hand your agent a screenshot or quick instructions without being present at your Mac screen. (Requires the Mac version of Terminal Champion SSH as well). • Dictate commands to your Mac's terminal screen using your phone's microphone. Once paired, you can issue commands and text to your AI agent through your phone. • Hand off live sessions between your Mac and your iPhone. Plus settings options to receive notifications on your phone when tasks complete on your Mac's terminals. USE YOUR EXISTING AI SUBSCRIPTION — ZERO MARKUP The AI coding agents running on your own servers work exactly like they do on your desktop — powered by the AI subscriptions you already pay for. • No extra AI fees or API-only mandates. • No third-party middlemen. • Zero platform lock-in. Terminal Champion SSH Mobile. Fast, distinct, and engineered for the way developers actually build today.
