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.
