About

MOBaiLE

Features
Read full description

MOBaiLE keeps your own computer within reach when you are away from the keyboard. Pair iPhone with a Mac or Linux backend you control, send a prompt by text or voice, and watch progress stream back in a live thread. Your host keeps the repo, shell, credentials, files, and network access. The phone stays focused on capture, review, follow-up, and recovery. Use MOBaiLE to: - Start a coding-agent run, repo check, or shell command from iPhone - Follow live progress, changed files, verification, warnings, artifacts, and next actions - Talk through quick changes with voice mode and auto-send after silence - Attach context files, browse the host workspace, and inspect returned artifacts - Keep separate workspace threads for projects, follow-ups, and experiments - Review connection, executor, profile instructions, memory, and trust settings clearly MOBaiLE is not a cloud IDE and does not run code on iPhone. It sends prompts, audio, attachments, and run metadata to the backend you choose to pair. The paired Mac or Linux machine does the execution.

About

Veloterm

Features
Read full description

Veloterm is a fast, native SSH client for iPhone and iPad with a built-in AI assistant. Connect to your remote servers over SSH and work in a full xterm-256color terminal powered by SwiftTerm — with an AI helper that can suggest, explain, and fix shell commands. SECURE BY DESIGN • Host-key pinning (TOFU): a changed server fingerprint refuses the connection to defend against man-in-the-middle attacks. • Passwords and private keys are stored only in the iOS Keychain — never synced, never logged. • App Transport Security enforced. The app talks only to the SSH hosts you configure and, for AI, to Anthropic's API. AI ASSISTANT — BRING YOUR OWN KEY • Suggest, Explain, and Fix commands right from the terminal. • Uses YOUR OWN Anthropic API key, stored in the Keychain and called directly from your device. No middle-man server, no analytics, no tracking. FAST & NATIVE • SwiftUI interface for iPhone and iPad, with split-view multitasking. • Password or private-key authentication. • Import and export your host profiles. VELOTERM PRO • Free: save up to 20 hosts. • Pro (one-time purchase): unlimited saved hosts plus profile export/import. Veloterm is an SSH client — it connects to servers you control and does not run a shell on the device.
