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

About

Hearth Cmd

Read full description

Hearth puts AI agents to work for you at home. Run agents on your Mac or Linux machine to handle the tasks you never get to — and stay in control from your phone. When an agent is about to do something sensitive, it asks first. You get a notification on your iPhone and tap Allow or Deny. Tap "Always Allow" on actions you're comfortable with and Hearth remembers. Over time, your agents get more autonomous for the things you trust them with, and interruptions become rare. FREE FEATURES • Approve from anywhere — agents ask before anything important; handle requests in seconds from your phone • Talk to your agents — send instructions to any running agent mid-task from your phone, no laptop required • Smart rules — tap "Always Allow" once; Hearth handles it automatically from then on • See everything — the Transcript tab shows exactly what every agent is doing, step by step, in real time • Multiple agents — run separate agents with distinct rules and activity histories • Rich previews — see exactly what the agent wants to do before you approve • Pull the Plug — stop any agent instantly with one tap HEARTH PRO • Push notifications — get notified when an agent needs you, even when the app is closed • Time Sensitive alerts — break through Focus modes • Voice input — on-device speech-to-text powered by WhisperKit (iPhone 12+) • Temporary grants — time-limited auto-approve rules that expire automatically Your agents run on your own machine. Hearth relays requests to your phone — nothing executes without your rules. Hearth Cmd is an independent product and is not affiliated with Anthropic, GitHub, Anysphere, OpenAI, or any other AI provider.
