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 β€” with an AI helper that can suggest, explain, and fix shell commands. SECURE BY DESIGN β€’ Host-key pinning (TOFU): a changed server fingerprint refuses the connection to defend against man-in-the-middle attacks. β€’ Passwords and private keys are stored only in the iOS Keychain β€” never synced, never logged. β€’ App Transport Security enforced. The app talks only to the SSH hosts you configure and, for AI, to Anthropic's API. AI ASSISTANT β€” BRING YOUR OWN KEY β€’ Suggest, Explain, and Fix commands right from the terminal. β€’ 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 β€’ SwiftUI interface for iPhone and iPad, with split-view multitasking. β€’ Password or private-key authentication. β€’ Import and export your host profiles. VELOTERM PRO β€’ Free: save up to 20 hosts. β€’ Pro (one-time purchase): unlimited saved hosts plus profile export/import. Veloterm is an SSH client β€” it connects to servers you control and does not run a shell on the device.
