Terminal W

Features
Read full description

Terminal W is a native SSH client for iPhone, iPad, and Apple silicon Mac. Connect to remote servers, keep several shells open, and return to your sessions as you move around the app. CONNECTIONS AND SECURITY • Save hosts, organize them into groups, and connect with a tap. • Authenticate with passwords, imported Ed25519 or ECDSA keys, or device-generated P-256 keys. • Import supported passphrase-protected private keys without saving the passphrase. • Verify SSH host keys with stable SHA-256 fingerprints. • Reach servers through SSH jump hosts and local port forwards. • Keep passwords and private keys in the device Keychain, with Secure Enclave support for generated keys on supported hardware. • Protect access with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. YOUR TERMINAL • Open multiple sessions, including several shells on the same server. • Use a terminal with UTF-8, ANSI colors, copy and paste, scrollback, and search. • Customize the special key bar with Esc, Tab, Ctrl, Alt, arrows, Home, End, and Page Up or Down. • Use hardware keyboard shortcuts for sessions, search, text size, and reconnecting. • Save command snippets with {{variable}} placeholders and reuse commands from history. • Upload photos and files over SFTP and insert their remote paths at the prompt. • Choose a terminal theme or follow your device's Light and Dark appearance. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • See connected sessions in a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and, on supported iPhones, the Dynamic Island. • Open separate terminals in multiple iPad windows. • Return to an open session from Hosts, Sessions, or a Live Activity. • Enable Keep Sessions Alive when you want connections to continue in the background. This optional setting is off by default. ICLOUD AND PRIVACY Saved hosts, host groups, snippets, and trusted host-key fingerprints sync through your private iCloud database. Passwords and private keys remain in the Keychain on each device, so set up credentials separately on every device. Terminal W uses Apple SwiftNIO SSH and CryptoKit. It has no analytics or tracking, requires no app account or subscription, and has no developer-operated credential vault. All shell commands run on your remote server. Requires iOS or iPadOS 26 or later. The iPad app also runs directly on Macs with macOS 26 or later and an Apple M1 chip or later.

About

Oriora Dev

Read full description

Oriora Dev turns "I wish I could build that" into a real app — just by describing it. Tell it what you want in plain language. It picks the right shape from proven app blueprints, generates a working foundation, then refines it round after round until it's right — and you watch it run, live, the whole time. Unlike other app builders, Oriora Dev doesn't hold your work hostage on someone else's servers: the heavy lifting runs on YOUR GitHub and YOUR AI key, and the code lands in your own repository from the very first ship. You own the result — build it here, take it anywhere. Your builds run in the cloud — in your own GitHub, on your own account — so a phone is all you need. • Describe an app → get a working foundation from proven blueprints • Watch it run live in the preview, then refine it conversationally • Say it any way you like — ship it, publish it, take it off the web, open my tracker. No magic words • Apps take the shape they need — one file or many — and remember their data on your device • Ship to your own GitHub — your repo, your Actions, your code • Give it a real web link to share — free, on your own GitHub. Or keep the code private and publish through your own Vercel • Every version is kept: look back at any point, and go back to it • Pick up where you left off — your conversation follows you to any device, and stays private • Schedule builds to run overnight, even with your device off • It remembers your preferences (your stack, your style) across devices • Back up chats to your own GitHub or Drive — Oriora stores nothing • Talk to it: describe, change, ship, check a build — by voice or text • Sign in once with your Oriora account; pay per step from your wallet (no subscription) — Built by Oriora Labs Ā· orioralabs.com
