OPTICS // OS: The Ultimate Device Intelligence & Threat Mitigation Suite OpticsOS transforms your iPhone into a military-grade cyber-intelligence terminal. Built for users who demand absolute control over their privacy, storage, and digital footprint, OpticsOS delivers a suite of powerful tools wrapped in a stunning, haptic-driven interface. PREMIUM MODULES INCLUDE: SHARD // KINETIC DRIVE: A localized storage intelligence tool. Shard performs a deep scan of your device's capacity and executes a "Kinetic Purge" sequence to help you visualize and manage fragmented cache and system bloat. ZENITH // ZERO-G METADATA SCRUB: Your photos are leaking your location. Zenith’s "Gravity Crush" engine strips hidden EXIF data, GPS coordinates, and camera intel from your images, returning a clean, untraceable "Zero-G" payload back to your gallery. ECLIPSE // NETWORK STEALTH: Unsure about the public Wi-Fi you just connected to? Eclipse initiates a gamified packet sweep, analyzing your connection's security protocol, gateway IP, and TLS encryption to generate an immediate Threat Level assessment. MIRROR // IDENTITY THREAT MATRIX: Powered by advanced AI intelligence, Mirror acts as your personal data breach monitor. Input any email alias to initiate a Neural Scan that queries known vulnerability databases, revealing exactly where your credentials have been compromised. SINGULARITY // PHISHING DECOMPILER: (Coming Soon) Paste suspicious SMS messages or shortened links into the Singularity engine to decompile the threat and identify social engineering scams before you click.

PocketTerm SSH

Features
Read full description

PocketTerm is a mobile SSH client for iPhone. Add a host, connect, type a command in the input box, and see remote output right away. An interactive PTY on the direct channel helps you run Agent CLIs and common terminal tools on your own servers. What you can do • Add servers with host, port, and username; sign in with password or OpenSSH private key • Line-oriented input: send a full command and watch results in the terminal view • Interactive PTY for remote Agent CLIs and common TUIs (depends on what you install on the host) • Per-server working directory and command history with up/down browse • Built-in quick commands plus a custom library • Detect remote tmux: switch, create, and delete sessions from the session bar (delete requires confirm) • 16 UI languages and a dark Pocket visual style Security • Passwords, private keys, and known hosts stay in on-device Keychain • Host-key TOFU: trust on first use; changed keys need your explicit clear before re-trust • We don’t run your servers or upload your credentials Notes • You need your own SSH-reachable Linux/Unix host and any Agent CLI you already use there • This is a mobile SSH client—it does not bundle third-party Agent products, and it is not a cloud IDE Built for developers and operators who need quick remote actions—and Agent sessions—on the go.
