SSH. Nothing more. Nothing less. Stop fighting with cluttered interfaces when you just need to talk to your server. Terminal is a stripped-back, high-performance SSH client designed for those who value aesthetics as much as utility. We removed the noise so you can focus on the code. The Vibe: Ultra-Minimal Design: A clean "Void" aesthetic that looks great on OLED screens. Deep Customization: Fine-tune your environment with hex-code color support, font-size sliders, and instant theme switching. Presets Built for Devs: Includes pre-loaded themes like Dracula, Monokai, Matrix, Ocean, and Void. The Utility: Session History: Review your logs, errors, and previous connections instantly. Saved Commands: Write once, run often. Save your most used snippets (like ls, docker ps, or update scripts) for one-tap execution. Smart Connection: Seamlessly manage multiple servers (IP, Port, User) with a zero-friction login flow. Loading Aesthetics: Enjoy custom ASCII visualizations while you wait for the handshake. No ads. No tracking. Just the terminal youโ€™ve been looking for.

About

TouchQube Terminal

Features
Read full description

TouchQube Terminal turns your phone or tablet into a real, full-featured SSH client โ€” built for developers, sysadmins, and anyone who manages servers on the go. Unlike apps that just show text output, TouchQube Terminal runs true VT100/xterm-compatible terminal emulation, so full-screen tools like vim, htop, top, and tmux render and respond exactly as they do on a desktop. KEY FEATURES Secure, Key-Based Login Connect using your own SSH private key (.pem or similar). Your private key is encrypted and securely stored using Apple's Keychain, ensuring it never leaves your device. Real Terminal, Not a Toy Full ANSI/VT100 emulation means your remote shell behaves exactly as expected โ€” colors, cursor movement, redraws, and interactive programs all work properly. One-Tap Reconnect Save your connection once. Every time after, just open the app and tap Connect โ€” no retyping host details or hunting for your key file. Built-In Command Toolbar A row of Esc, Tab, Ctrl, and arrow keys sits above your keyboard, so you're never stuck without the control keys mobile keyboards leave out. Smart Command History Pulls your real command history straight from the server, deduplicates it, and keeps your last 100 unique commands on hand. Star any command to pin it permanently to the top of the list, and tap any command to run it again instantly. WHO IT'S FOR Whether you're restarting a service on an EC2 instance, checking logs on a home server, managing IoT devices, or just need a terminal in your pocket, TouchQube Terminal is built to get you connected and working in seconds, not minutes. TouchQube Terminal is part of the TouchQube family of tools for builders who work across hardware, cloud, and mobile.
