CommandKit turns your iPhone and iPad into a full SSH terminal, server dashboard, and AI command assistant — private by design, with no traffic routed through anyone else's cloud. Unlike clients that sync your servers through a vendor cloud, CommandKit connects you straight to your machines. Your keys and credentials never leave your device. — WHY COMMANDKIT — • A real terminal, not a viewer — full VT100/ANSI with htop, vim, nano, tmux, and TUI apps that actually work • Built-in AI assistant — the only SSH client that helps you write, explain, and debug shell commands on the go • Monitoring + terminal in one app — no separate tool, no paywall to open a shell — SSH & CONNECTIVITY — • Tabbed SSH sessions with per-tab history and TUI support • Ed25519 & ECDSA key manager with secure Keychain storage • Safe multiline paste, buffer search (⌘F), clickable URLs • Full external keyboard support on iPad — SERVER MONITORING — • Real-time CPU, memory, disk, network & temperature • Auto-refresh and an at-a-glance overview of every host — SECURITY & PRIVACY — • Face ID / Touch ID for sudo and session unlock • Direct connection to your servers — no proxy, no middleman • Session disconnect notifications — AI ASSISTANT (OPTIONAL) — • Bring your own API key — you control cost and privacy • Supports Gemini, OpenAI, and local LLMs (Ollama, LM Studio) • Works fully offline with the built-in rule-based assistant — PRODUCTIVITY — • Command snippets for your frequent workflows • Custom themes & fonts (Solarized, Dracula, Nord, One Dark) • Fast native copy/paste Perfect for developers, sysadmins, DevOps engineers, and anyone managing Linux servers, a VPS, Raspberry Pi, or a home lab from iPhone or iPad — no laptop needed.
