TouchQube Terminal
Read full descriptionHide full description
TouchQube Terminal turns your phone or tablet into a real, full-featured SSH client โ built for developers, sysadmins, and anyone who manages servers on the go. Unlike apps that just show text output, TouchQube Terminal runs true VT100/xterm-compatible terminal emulation, so full-screen tools like vim, htop, top, and tmux render and respond exactly as they do on a desktop. KEY FEATURES Secure, Key-Based Login Connect using your own SSH private key (.pem or similar). Your private key is encrypted and securely stored using Apple's Keychain, ensuring it never leaves your device. Real Terminal, Not a Toy Full ANSI/VT100 emulation means your remote shell behaves exactly as expected โ colors, cursor movement, redraws, and interactive programs all work properly. One-Tap Reconnect Save your connection once. Every time after, just open the app and tap Connect โ no retyping host details or hunting for your key file. Built-In Command Toolbar A row of Esc, Tab, Ctrl, and arrow keys sits above your keyboard, so you're never stuck without the control keys mobile keyboards leave out. Smart Command History Pulls your real command history straight from the server, deduplicates it, and keeps your last 100 unique commands on hand. Star any command to pin it permanently to the top of the list, and tap any command to run it again instantly. WHO IT'S FOR Whether you're restarting a service on an EC2 instance, checking logs on a home server, managing IoT devices, or just need a terminal in your pocket, TouchQube Terminal is built to get you connected and working in seconds, not minutes. TouchQube Terminal is part of the TouchQube family of tools for builders who work across hardware, cloud, and mobile.
Code Editor
Read full descriptionHide full description
Code Editor is a multi-tab editor for source files, config files and notes. Open a .py, fix a .json, edit a config, or read through a log โ with syntax coloring that follows whatever you opened. MULTI-TAB EDITING Open several files at once and switch between tabs without losing your place. Each tab keeps its own scroll position, cursor and syntax mode. SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING FOR 14 LANGUAGES Python, JavaScript, JSON, XML, Markdown, Bash, CSS, Dart, Java, Kotlin, SQL, YAML, HTML and plain text. The language is detected from the file extension, and you can change it per file from the editor toolbar. QUICK NOTES Start writing without naming a file. Notes save themselves as you go and when you leave the app. Pin the ones you keep coming back to, swipe away the rest. NOTE TEMPLATES Six templates to start from: Meeting Notes, To-Do, Journal, Letter, Shopping List and Blank. FILES APP INTEGRATION Open documents straight from the Files app, iCloud Drive or another app's share sheet, edit them, and save or share the result. LARGE FILES Files too big to hold in memory open in a windowed viewer instead of the editor, so a big log opens in a moment rather than stalling. Binary files open in a hex view. CODING TOOLBAR One-tap insertion for the characters a software keyboard buries: Tab, braces, brackets, parentheses, semicolon, colon, equals, angle brackets, slash, pipe, hash and at. FIND AND REPLACE Search an open file with live match highlighting. Replace one match or all of them. COMPARE TWO FILES Open two files side by side and see what changed between them, line by line. WORD AND CHARACTER COUNT A collapsible bar shows live word, character and line counts as you type. SHARE AS IMAGE Export a snippet as a styled image, for sending code to someone who is not going to open a file. THEMES AND TYPOGRAPHY Light and dark themes, adjustable font size, line numbers on or off, and word wrap. WORKS OFFLINE Everything above runs on your device. Your files are not uploaded anywhere. PRO The editor, notes, tabs, syntax highlighting, search, compare and the file viewer are all free and unmetered. Pro removes the ads and unlocks every editor theme. There are two ways to buy it: a one-time purchase that never renews and restores on any device signed in to the same Apple Account, or a monthly plan you can cancel at any time. SUBSCRIPTION AND PRICING โข Code Editor Pro โ $9.99, one payment, does not renew โข Code Editor Pro Monthly โ $1.99 per month, renews automatically โข Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase โข A subscription renews unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period โข Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://cosmovex.web.app/apps/textvedit/privacy-policy Support: https://cosmovex.web.app/apps/textvedit/support

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TouchQube Terminal at none against Code Editor's shown. TouchQube Terminal also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
