Outpost is an SSH client built for one thing above all: rendering your terminal exactly right. If you've connected to a server from your phone and watched your setup fall apart - broken Powerline segments, missing Nerd Font icons, boxes where emoji should be, mangled box-drawing - Outpost is the fix. It's engineered around glyph correctness, so your shell looks the way it does on your desktop. Glyph-perfect rendering. Nerd Font icons, Powerline prompts, box-drawing, wide and ambiguous-width characters, combining marks, and emoji - all correct. Secure by design. Passwords and imported keys are stored in the iOS Keychain behind Face ID. Or generate a key that never leaves the device's Secure Enclave. Host keys are pinned on first connect, with a hard warning if one ever changes. Built for real work. Keep several servers open at once and switch with a tap - scrollback survives. A keyboard bar with the keys a terminal actually needs. Copy and paste, drag to scroll, and tap-to-click in mouse-aware TUIs. Run your own setup commands automatically on connect. Make it yours. Font size, colour themes, and cursor style. No account, no tracking, nothing to sign up for. Your credentials stay on your device.

About

Schemely

Features
Read full description

Schemely is a link tester for iOS developers and QA. Take any URL, generate a tappable link, and actually tap it to see how a URL scheme or Universal Link behaves — the reliable way to reproduce real-world taps. Why tapping matters Universal Links behave differently depending on how they are opened. Schemely reproduces the real paths: • External — hands the URL to the system (opens the target app, or Safari). • Web tap — renders a real anchor in a web page and taps it, the most reliable way to trigger a Universal Link. Features • AASA Inspector — fetch a domain's apple-app-site-association and check whether a URL is a Universal Link, and which applinks rule it matches. • Result diagnostics — when a link doesn't open, see why and what to check next. • Instant URL kind detection: web URL, custom scheme, or malformed. Unsafe schemes (javascript/data) are blocked. • Clear result feedback: opened, no handler, opened from an anchor tap, or not a Universal Link. • A QR code for every link — scan to open and verify on another device. • History and favorites, stored entirely on your device. • Share from any app — send a URL to Schemely via the share sheet to verify it. • Copy as a rich link or a plain URL. • English and Japanese. Privacy Schemely collects no data. Everything stays on your device.
