Read full description

LinTerm is a professional SSH terminal for iPhone and iPad. Connect to your Linux servers from anywhere — manage production, home labs, VPS, and NAS with a real OpenSSH session. SAVE EVERY SERVER Add each machine once: host, port, username, and password. Give it a clear name like “Production VPS” or “Home NAS”. Passwords stay on your device in the iOS Keychain — not on our servers. CONNECT IN ONE TAP Open Home, tap Connect, and you’re in a live remote shell. Or type ssh followed by a saved name. Your commands run on the server — not in a fake local terminal. BUILT FOR MOBILE • Special keys bar: Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+D, Tab, Esc, arrows • Cancel stuck jobs without a hardware keyboard • Sticky Ctrl for other shortcuts • Typing predictions for common Linux commands and history • Home button to leave a session and return to your server list • Exit / disconnect returns you home cleanly IPHONE & IPAD Focused terminal on iPhone. Server list + session layout that fits iPad. Dark, readable monospace UI designed for thumbs. MADE FOR REAL WORK Check services, run Docker, pull logs, restart apps, and administer hosts when you’re away from a laptop. Use Wi‑Fi, cellular, or VPN depending on how your network is set up. SECURITY • Per-server logins • Keychain-protected passwords • SSH traffic goes between your device and the host you choose • Disconnect anytime REQUIREMENTS • A reachable SSH server (usually port 22) • Password login enabled for the account you save • Network path from your device to the host (LAN, public IP, or VPN) LinTerm is developed by Symlink Technologies.
