TouchQube Terminal
Read full descriptionHide full description
TouchQube Terminal turns your phone or tablet into a real, full-featured SSH client β built for developers, sysadmins, and anyone who manages servers on the go. Unlike apps that just show text output, TouchQube Terminal runs true VT100/xterm-compatible terminal emulation, so full-screen tools like vim, htop, top, and tmux render and respond exactly as they do on a desktop. KEY FEATURES Secure, Key-Based Login Connect using your own SSH private key (.pem or similar). Your private key is encrypted and securely stored using Apple's Keychain, ensuring it never leaves your device. Real Terminal, Not a Toy Full ANSI/VT100 emulation means your remote shell behaves exactly as expected β colors, cursor movement, redraws, and interactive programs all work properly. One-Tap Reconnect Save your connection once. Every time after, just open the app and tap Connect β no retyping host details or hunting for your key file. Built-In Command Toolbar A row of Esc, Tab, Ctrl, and arrow keys sits above your keyboard, so you're never stuck without the control keys mobile keyboards leave out. Smart Command History Pulls your real command history straight from the server, deduplicates it, and keeps your last 100 unique commands on hand. Star any command to pin it permanently to the top of the list, and tap any command to run it again instantly. WHO IT'S FOR Whether you're restarting a service on an EC2 instance, checking logs on a home server, managing IoT devices, or just need a terminal in your pocket, TouchQube Terminal is built to get you connected and working in seconds, not minutes. TouchQube Terminal is part of the TouchQube family of tools for builders who work across hardware, cloud, and mobile.
