Features
Read full description

Rumskrot Terminal is a native SSH terminal for the machines you actually run — the Mac under the desk, the Raspberry Pi in the cupboard, the VPS in a data centre. Save a server once, connect with a tap, and get a real terminal, a live dashboard for every host, and your servers on Apple Watch. EVERY SERVER, ONE TAP AWAY • Saved hosts with password or key authentication • Nearby SSH machines found automatically with Bonjour • Import hosts from ~/.ssh/config, or open ssh:// links • Multi-hop jump hosts (ssh -J bastion target) • Give each host its own accent colour so you always know where you are A REAL TERMINAL • xterm-256color and 24-bit true colour, rendered on the GPU • vim, htop, tmux and other full-screen programs just work • Scrollback with search, mouse reporting, hyperlinks and inline images • A keyboard bar with Esc, Tab, Ctrl and arrows — reorder or hide any key • Full external keyboard and trackpad support on iPad • Predictive local echo for responsive typing on slower connections • Draft and paste multiline text in a prose composer before sending • Powerline and Nerd Font prompt symbols, plus custom themes and ANSI palettes • Shell integration keeps your history as the commands you actually ran, with suggestions above the keyboard DASHBOARDS FOR EVERY HOST • Turn any command into a tile: a number, a line chart or a bar chart • Dozens of ready-made tiles for CPU, memory, disk, Docker and more • One page per host — swipe between your servers • Tiles refresh on their own, and a Home Screen widget keeps an eye on them for you SEVERAL SERVERS AT ONCE • Keep multiple sessions open and switch between them with a tap • On iPad, active sessions sit in the sidebar beside the terminal TMUX, FILES AND SNIPPETS • A native tmux browser: attach, detach, create and kill sessions without typing a command • An SFTP file browser on the same connection: upload, download and navigate • Snippets for the commands you run every day, with groups and parameters, also available in Shortcuts DESCRIBE IT, GET THE COMMAND • Say what you want in plain English and get a shell command with an explanation of what it does • Runs on device, and nothing runs until you choose to insert it ON APPLE WATCH • Your hosts sync from iPhone through iCloud • Standalone SSH from your wrist: run a command, restart a service, read the output • Your dashboards, mirrored to the watch • Passwords never sync through iCloud — they reach the watch only when you confirm it on iPhone PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Passwords and keys stay in the Keychain on your device • Host key verification, SSHFP support, Ed25519 and ECDSA keys, and passphrase-protected OpenSSH keys • No account, no analytics, no telemetry — your connections go straight to your servers Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://danskrumskrot.com/privacy
