About

TermiX

Features
Read full description

TermiX brings SSH terminals and Kubernetes management to your iPhone, so you can connect to servers, inspect workloads, and handle routine operations away from your computer. SSH TERMINAL • Connect with a password or SSH private key, including OpenSSH/PEM key import and key passphrases. • Organize hosts into folders and search your connections. • Verify the host fingerprint on first connection. Changed host keys block the connection. • Use terminal shortcuts for Ctrl, Esc, Tab, and arrow keys. • Save frequently used commands. Selecting a command fills the input field; you confirm before sending. KUBERNETES MANAGEMENT • Import kubeconfig files and switch contexts and namespaces. • Inspect Pods, Deployments, StatefulSets, and their status. • Read Pod logs and view available CPU and memory metrics. • Scale Deployments and StatefulSets with the permissions provided by your cluster. • Configure AWS cloud accounts to connect to EKS clusters you are authorized to access. DESIGNED FOR MOBILE • English, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese interfaces. • Light, dark, and system appearance. • Import host settings exported by TermiX for desktop. • Passwords and private keys are stored in iOS Keychain and excluded from ordinary host-settings exports. You need a reachable SSH server or Kubernetes cluster, valid credentials, and appropriate permissions. CPU and memory metrics require the cluster Metrics API. SSH connections close when the app enters the background and can be reconnected when you return.
