SSH Easy Terminal

Features
Read full description

SSH Easy Terminal is a fast, native SSH client for people who manage their own servers and are tired of renting their tools. 3-DAY FREE TRIAL, THEN MONTHLY Start with a 3-day free trial. After that it continues as a monthly subscription. Every feature โ€” including the on-device AI copilot โ€” is included, and you can cancel anytime. AN AI COPILOT THAT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Explain a command, or describe what you want and get a command to run โ€” powered by Apple's on-device models. Nothing is sent to a server. It works offline, with no inference cost and no account. A built-in guard flags destructive commands before you run them. (Requires an Apple Intelligence device; the SSH client works fully without it.) PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION Private keys are generated and stored in the iOS Keychain and never leave your device. No telemetry, no analytics SDKs, no cloud. The only network activity is the SSH connections you start. BUILT FOR REAL TERMINAL WORK - Full VT100/xterm terminal with vim, htop, and tmux support - Keyboard accessory bar: Esc, Ctrl, Tab, arrows, pipe, function keys - Ed25519 and ECDSA keys โ€” generate on device or import your OpenSSH keys - Host-key verification with trust-on-first-use and a clear warning if a key changes - SFTP file browser: upload, download, rename, delete - Command snippets, jump host (ProxyJump), and optional Face ID lock - Themes, adjustable font size, and scrollback Localized in 19 languages. Universal โ€” iPhone and iPad.

NativeX

NativeX is a visual playground for Apple's on-device intelligence โ€” build prompt pipelines as a graph of cards, wire them together with variables, and run them right on your iPhone. Built for iOS engineers, prompt engineers, and the AI-curious: if you want to know what Apple's on-device model can actually do, this is the fastest way to find out. FREE AND PRIVATE Every run executes on the Apple foundation model that ships with your device. No account, no API key, no server: prompts, photos, and recordings never leave your iPhone, and inference costs nothing. LEARN THE REAL API Every card mirrors one Apple framework call and names the exact Swift symbol โ€” LanguageModelSession, NLTokenizer, RecognizeTextRequest, SpeechTranscriber, etc. Configure it in the inspector, run it, read the output. What you learn transfers line-for-line to Xcode. BUILD PROMPT PIPELINES โ€ข Prompt groups assemble instructions, few-shot examples, history, and the curreturn into a single transcript โ€ข Guided generation: constrain output to JSON with registered schemas, or design your own schema on the fly โ€” no rebuild โ€ข 17 native ops: tokenize, detect language, named entities, sentiment, OCR a photo, read a barcode, transcribe speech, speak text aloud, regex, JSON extraction, and more. Wait for more! โ€ข Human-in-the-loop pauses: type or dictate an answer mid-run EVALUATE LIKE A PRO โ€” LLM OPS, ON-DEVICE NativeX brings the modern LLM-ops workflow โ€” observability, datasets, evaluations โ€” to the model in your pocket: โ€ข Run History logs every execution as a step-level trace โ€” assembled prompt, output, timing, token estimates โ€ข Datasets batch-run a graph over a table of records, sequential or parallel โ€ข LLM-as-judge scoring runs on-device too โ€ข Re-run, reproduce, and compare past runs REQUIREMENTS NativeX runs the Apple Intelligence on-device model. That requires an iPhone 15 Pro or newer (A17 Pro chip or later) on iOS 26 or later, with Apple Intelligence enabled in Settings.
