TermLink turns your iPhone into a compact SSH companion for AI coding, server checks, and remote file handoff. Connect to your own SSH host, generate a key pair, copy the public key, and keep the setup steps close to the terminal. Upload screenshots or photos over SCP, then pass the remote path to Codex, Claude Code, or another AI coding workflow without retyping it. The local workspace stays inside the iOS app sandbox. Built-in commands cover file navigation, JSON formatting, Base64 encode/decode, and JavaScriptCore-backed Node-compatible snippets for safe learning and small experiments. Key features: - SSH profile setup with key generation - Remote shell access from iPhone - SCP image upload and remote path handoff - Snippets for frequent SSH commands and AI prompts - Sandboxed local files and bundled command shims - JSON formatter, Base64 tools, and JavaScriptCore snippets - Japanese IME support and app language switching - Adjustable terminal font size - Optional Pro themes, multiple tabs, multiple SSH profiles, multiple snippets, and remote path insertion TermLink is built as an SSH companion, a command-line learning tool, and an AI coding handoff surface. It is not a native package manager, an external code store, or a way to run downloaded native executables after review. Japanese: TermLink は、iPhone から SSH ホストや AI コーディング環境へつなぐための端末ワークスペースです。SSH 接続、SCP 画像アップロード、Codex / Claude Code 向けのリモートパス連携、サンドボックス内ファイル操作、JSON 整形、Base64 変換、スニペット、Pro テーマなどを利用できます。アプリ外のコードをダウンロードして実行するネイティブパッケージマネージャーではありません。

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: TermLink at every 5 days against PocketUNIX's every 3 weeks. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
