Read full description

Termoire is a terminal built for iPhone and iPad — and it runs on Apple Silicon Macs too — that feels like real hardware. It's also a first-class remote for the AI coding agents you already run on your servers. Connect over SSH, Mosh, or Eternal Terminal, with a Metal-rendered engine that scrolls glass-smooth and a typography-grade monospace font of your choice. • SSH, Mosh & Eternal Terminal — Mosh and ET keep your session alive across Wi-Fi/cellular changes and app restarts, and stay snappy on high-latency links. Pick a transport per host, or let Termoire choose. Jump hosts / ProxyJump supported. • A control surface for AI coding agents — drive 15 CLI agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and more) from a native Chat View, get a "needs you / working / done" inbox, and Approve or Deny a blocked agent right from your Lock Screen — end-to-end encrypted. Live Activity / Dynamic Island tracks the active turn; opt-in background push reaches you with the app closed. • Files & forwarding — a built-in SFTP browser (upload, download, paste-or-drop a file onto the terminal), plus local and remote port forwarding with a one-tap localhost browser preview. • Beautiful themes — 29 palettes (Dracula, Nord, Gruvbox, Catppuccin, Solarized, Tokyo Night, and more, including high-contrast and color-blind-safe options), with an option to follow your system's light/dark. The whole app re-tints to match. • Designed for touch and keyboard — multiple tabs, Stage Manager multi-window, a smart keyboard accessory row, trackpad and hardware-keyboard support, custom font import, and voice dictation. • Secure keys — generate or import SSH keys, including non-extractable Secure-Enclave keys with per-key Face ID, plus an optional whole-app Face ID lock. • Private by design — your keys and passwords live only in the device Keychain. No account for the terminal, no analytics, no message history. Optional iCloud sync uses your own iCloud. Termoire Pro unlocks the AI-agent suite, SFTP, port forwarding, voice dictation, and session recording. Everything else — including iCloud sync, Face ID app lock, Secure-Enclave keys, custom fonts, themed icons, and custom/paired themes — is free. Termoire connects directly to the servers you add. Data otherwise stays on your device, in your private iCloud when you enable sync, or uses the disclosed Apple Speech and encrypted notification services only when those features are invoked. Termoire Pro (auto-renewing subscription) Termoire Pro is available as an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the app before you buy, in your local currency. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • A subscription renews automatically for the same period at the same price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. • Manage your plan and turn off auto-renew in your App Store account settings after purchase. • If a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. • Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not renew.
