Sometimes you need to SSH into a server. This app helps you do exactly that. Remote servers, Bonjour servers — we welcome them all. We'll optionally remember the servers you frequently access from a given spot, too; so if you're always connecting to one network from the coffeeshop and another from home, we've got you covered. With built-in support for the keyboard keys that iOS forgot (Esc, Tab, and Control-combos), a slew of themes, and a ton of functionality included for free. Need Pro features like 1Password keys, SFTP support throughout iOS, and Snippets? Take a look at a Pro subscription. EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Dev1ce shows current device information in a simple native-style app. Check app, runtime, device, battery, storage, network, location, and motion data in one place. Capture the current state as a record, open it immediately, review saved records later, and share all records as CSV. The app supports raw mode, localized labels, and per-section refresh settings.
