Termix vs GoShell

Requires a Termix server. Install at https://docs.termix.site/install Termix gives you full control of your servers from your phone. Connect to your Termix server and manage everything from one place. SSH Terminal Open multiple terminal sessions at once with tab-based navigation. Switch between a standard keyboard and a custom terminal keyboard built for SSH use. Customize the keyboard layout and key repeat, save snippets for quick reuse, recall past commands from the history bar, and use hardware keyboards, dictation, and VoiceOver. Sessions stay alive in the background. File Manager Browse, view, edit, move, and manage files and folders over SSH. Pin files and add folder shortcuts to get back to what you use most. Compress files, download them through the share sheet, and restore deleted items from the trash. Server Stats Monitor CPU, memory, disk, network, uptime, running processes, open ports, firewall rules, and login history in real time. Server alerts show up on the hosts screen. SSH Tunnels Create, start, and stop SSH tunnels, and set them up per host right from the host editor. Docker View and manage Docker containers directly from your phone. Remote Desktop Access a graphical desktop on your server (RDP, VNC, and Telnet supported). Home Screen Widgets Add widgets to jump straight into a host, run a snippet, or check server status without opening the app. Pick which hosts each widget shows and which tab it opens. Host Management Organize your servers into folders. Save credentials and SSH keys per host. Use Quick Connect to jump into a session fast, and wake a machine over the network with Wake-on-LAN. Settings Customize your terminal appearance, keyboard layout, and keys. Manage API keys, active sessions, and two-factor authentication for your Termix account, plus change your password or delete your account. App Lock Lock the app behind Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint, with a PIN as backup.
