Ash vs OpenIntent

Native SSH client for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Open a shell, push files over SFTP, forward a port, monitor a server. Terminal — multiple sessions, configurable shell, fonts, theme. Hold-and-drag cursor scrub, two-finger paste, pinch zoom. ⌘T / ⌘W / ⌘1-9 on iPad and Mac. SFTP — browse, upload, download, edit text files inline. Save with sudo when needed. Drag-and-drop from Files or Finder. Server Dashboard — live CPU, RAM, disk, latency. OS, kernel, uptime. Port Forwarding — local (-L) and remote (-R) tunnels, multiple per host. SSH Keys — generate Ed25519 or RSA on-device. Import from Files or clipboard. Stored in iOS Keychain. Face ID / Touch ID lock. Connections survive the lock screen. Keepalive defeats NAT timeouts. Auto-reconnect on Wi-Fi / cellular handoff. No telemetry. No analytics. No ads. Host configs sync only via your private iCloud, opt-in.

OpenIntent turns the usual tap-to-open action into an automatic opening flow you personally arrange first. The app still opens normally, but the opening experience now starts with the steps you designed. How it works - Choose the apps you want to protect and put them into groups - Add "custom pre-unlock logic" and "Unlock and Open App" to a Shortcut - Add the Shortcut to your Home Screen - Open the app by tapping the Home Screen Shortcut; your custom logic runs first - In Shortcuts automation, set this rule: when the app closes, "Lock" Privacy and product truth - No collection, no tracking, fully local, no network access - App selection is handled by Apple Screen Time; OpenIntent does not know or understand your specific choices - No account required to get started
