SSH terminal in your pocket. Full xterm-256color emulation, biometric-protected keys, and on-device voice dictation. No accounts, no tracking — everything stays on your device. tunlr is built for developers, sysadmins, and DevOps engineers who need real terminal access on iPhone and iPad. — TERMINAL — Full PTY terminal emulation powered by SwiftTerm. xterm-256color support. Configurable scrollback buffer up to 50,000 lines. Optional Metal GPU-accelerated rendering. Works in portrait and landscape on both iPhone and iPad. — AUTHENTICATION — Three ways to authenticate, all protected by Face ID or Touch ID: Secure Enclave keys — generate a P-256 ECDSA key that never leaves your device's Secure Enclave. The private key is inaccessible even to the app itself. Imported keys — bring your own Ed25519, ECDSA, or RSA keys. Stored in the iOS Keychain with biometric protection. Passwords — stored in the Keychain, never in plain text. — HOST VERIFICATION — Trust-on-first-use (TOFU) host key verification. tunlr saves the server fingerprint on first connection and warns you if it ever changes. Import fingerprints by scanning a QR code to skip the initial trust step. — VOICE INPUT — Dictate terminal commands with on-device speech recognition powered by WhisperKit. All audio processing happens on your device — nothing is sent to any server. — KEYBOARD TOOLBAR — Customizable keyboard toolbar with sticky modifier keys. Shortcut packs for Shell, Tmux, Vim, and Claude Code workflows. Save your own favorites. — CONNECTIONS — Save server profiles with hostname, port, username, and authentication method. Connect with a single tap.

Four monospace fonts and adjustable font size. — PRIVACY — No accounts. No analytics. No tracking. No data collection. Everything runs on your device. SSH connections go directly to your servers — tunlr never contacts any third-party service.
