Read full description

Terminal is a native SSH client for iPhone — built for developers, sysadmins, and DevOps engineers who need real remote access, not a toy shell. CONNECT TO ANY SERVER SSH into any Linux, macOS, or Unix-based server in seconds. Password and SSH key authentication both supported for secure, flexible access. MANAGE YOUR SERVERS Organize server profiles with folders, favorites, and color tags. Built-in search finds any host instantly — no scrolling through long lists. FULL TERMINAL EXPERIENCE True ANSI color rendering, interactive shell, blinking cursor, and accurate VT100 emulation. Designed for real work: editing files in vi, tailing logs, running builds. MULTIPLE ACTIVE SESSIONS Keep several SSH connections open simultaneously and switch between them without dropping a session or losing scroll history. BUILT FOR PRODUCTIVITY • Command Snippets — save your most-used commands and run them with one tap • Command History — searchable, per-server log of every command you've run • Shortcut Row — Tab, Ctrl, Esc, and arrow keys always one tap away above the keyboard • Keep Screen On — no more screen dimming during long-running jobs CUSTOMIZE YOUR WORKSPACE 8 hand-crafted themes: Dracula Pro, Tokyo Night, Catppuccin, Nord, and more. Adjust font family and size until the terminal feels exactly right. SECURE BY DESIGN Credentials are stored exclusively in the iOS Keychain — never in plain text, never on a third-party server. All connections use the standard SSH protocol. ALL FEATURES INCLUDED Paid download includes every feature in the app: all 8 themes, command snippets, and multi-session SSH.
