Veloterm
Read full descriptionHide 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 ā 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 ā 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 ā 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 ā it connects to servers you control and does not run a shell on the device.
