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

Terminull pairs with your Mac and lets you drive your AI coding agents from anywhere โ€” on your iPhone or iPad. Watch them work, steer them, approve changes. End-to-end encrypted. Start real coding sessions from the couch, the train, or away from your desk. Your agent runs on your own machine, with your own tools and files. Terminull is just the window into it. WORKS WITH THE AGENTS YOU ALREADY USE Drive all your favorite command-line coding agents out of the box โ€” including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Goose, and OpenCode. Terminull detects what is installed and drives it. Switch agent and model per session. BUILT FOR REAL WORK, NOT JUST CHAT - Rich streaming output: diffs, code blocks, to-do plans, and command results rendered natively - Multiple concurrent sessions with a live status carousel on your Lock Screen - Notifications when a session finishes, needs input, or hits an error โ€” even if the app was force-quit - Scheduled runs that start on their own - Voice input with on-device transcription โ€” dictate a task, hands-free PRIVATE BY DESIGN - End-to-end encrypted between your device and your Mac - Connects directly over your local network at home, or securely relayed when you are away - LAN-only mode keeps everything on your network with no cloud at all - No account required to pair with your own machine YOUR MACHINE, YOUR RULES The agent runs where your code lives. Nothing is uploaded to us โ€” Terminull relays encrypted messages, never your source. Set restricted paths, pick your models, and bring your own provider keys. Get started in under a minute: install the free Terminull companion โ€” a lightweight menu-bar app for your Mac โ€” scan the pairing QR, and you are connected.
