About

Veloterm

Features
Read full description

Veloterm is a fast, native SSH client for iPhone and iPad with a built-in AI assistant. Connect to your remote servers over SSH and work in a full xterm-256color terminal powered by SwiftTerm — with an AI helper that can suggest, explain, and fix shell commands. SECURE BY DESIGN • Host-key pinning (TOFU): a changed server fingerprint refuses the connection to defend against man-in-the-middle attacks. • Passwords and private keys are stored only in the iOS Keychain — never synced, never logged. • App Transport Security enforced. The app talks only to the SSH hosts you configure and, for AI, to Anthropic's API. AI ASSISTANT — BRING YOUR OWN KEY • Suggest, Explain, and Fix commands right from the terminal. • Uses YOUR OWN Anthropic API key, stored in the Keychain and called directly from your device. No middle-man server, no analytics, no tracking. FAST & NATIVE • SwiftUI interface for iPhone and iPad, with split-view multitasking. • Password or private-key authentication. • Import and export your host profiles. VELOTERM PRO • Free: save up to 20 hosts. • Pro (one-time purchase): unlimited saved hosts plus profile export/import. Veloterm is an SSH client — it connects to servers you control and does not run a shell on the device.
