SwiftyTerminal
Read full descriptionHide full description
Learn Linux commands on your iPhone or iPad. SwiftyTerminal is a pocket shell where you can practice ls, grep, sed, awk, pipes and redirects, plus ping, nslookup and SSH. When you get stuck, ask the Command Copilot in plain English: describe what you want to do and get a real command you can run. Type ? followed by a task, like "? show hidden files", and the answer lands in the input line, ready to run or edit. Type explain before any command line and it is broken down piece by piece, so you learn as you go. On devices with Apple Intelligence the copilot runs on the on-device model. Everywhere else it answers from a built-in offline guide. Nothing you type leaves your device. COMMAND COPILOT - Plain English to a runnable command, checked against the commands this app actually has - Type explain before a command to decode pipes, options and redirects - Commands that delete or overwrite data are never run for you: they wait in the input line - Recent answers are saved so you can run them again - A searchable reference of every built-in command, with examples ASK FROM ANYWHERE - Shortcuts: Explain a Terminal Command, Suggest a Terminal Command, Run in Terminal, Open Command Copilot - Say "Explain grep in SwiftyTerminal" or "Ask SwiftyTerminal for a command" - Every command is searchable from Spotlight FILES AND TEXT List, create, copy, move and delete files and folders with ls, cd, mkdir, touch, cp, mv, rm and cat. Inspect with file, wc, head and tail. Search and process text with find, grep (-i -v -n -c), sort, uniq, sed and awk, plus pipes, redirects and glob patterns. NETWORK TOOLS ping, nslookup, curl, netcat and port scans for hosts you own, plus SSH sessions with remote commands and file transfer. SYSTEM AND SCRIPTING date, cal, uptime, df, uname, environment variables, aliases and history. A built-in mini Python and Lua interpreter for quick math and variables. A FRESH LOOK A hand-drawn design with living "thinking orb" animations, a Liquid Glass input bar, four terminal themes and adjustable text size. Reduce Motion calms every animation. SwiftyTerminal is a simulated terminal that runs entirely inside the app sandbox. It does not download or run external code. Who it's for: developers, students learning the command line, IT and network folks, and anyone curious about Unix commands.

Design your complete App Store screenshot set in one app - natively on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, not in a browser tab. Then push the same set out as a video to every marketing channel, without rebuilding a thing. App Screenshot is a visual editor for your App Store presence. Captures, text, mockups, backgrounds, shapes, and effects all live in one project. No jumping between three design tools, no rebuilding everything for each device size. Design your screenshots: - Complete sets in one app, text, images, and layouts stay editable at any point - Drop screenshots into Apple device mockups, then rotate, scale, and arrange them freely - Keep one consistent look across every screen with Themes and Presets - Reach for a modern style with Liquid Glass, Bento layouts, and the Pattern Creator - Line everything up precisely with grids and snapping Turn that set into a video: - Export the same design as a video for social media, product pages, and presentations - Reuse the screens you already made instead of designing again for each channel - One consistent look across screenshots and videos Localization that keeps up: - Manage text centrally through String Catalogs and link it to your screens - Switch between languages instantly to catch line breaks, layout shifts, and translations that run too long - Assign market-specific images and media - Export every language you've set up in one pass One project, all your devices: - Synced across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with CloudKit, start on your phone, finish on your Mac - No files to shuffle back and forth From draft to the Store: - Export finished sets in the right App Store sizes - Send them straight to App Store Connect and match them to the correct languages and devices (optional, manual upload still works) Plus unlimited projects and screens, project folders, a central media library, screen versions for A/B variants, groups, and more. App Screenshot is built for developers who want to own their store presence and not start from scratch every release. Download the app and design your screenshots and videos in one place.
