PocketTerm SSH
Read full descriptionHide full description
PocketTerm is a mobile SSH client for iPhone. Add a host, connect, type a command in the input box, and see remote output right away. An interactive PTY on the direct channel helps you run Agent CLIs and common terminal tools on your own servers. What you can do • Add servers with host, port, and username; sign in with password or OpenSSH private key • Line-oriented input: send a full command and watch results in the terminal view • Interactive PTY for remote Agent CLIs and common TUIs (depends on what you install on the host) • Per-server working directory and command history with up/down browse • Built-in quick commands plus a custom library • Detect remote tmux: switch, create, and delete sessions from the session bar (delete requires confirm) • 16 UI languages and a dark Pocket visual style Security • Passwords, private keys, and known hosts stay in on-device Keychain • Host-key TOFU: trust on first use; changed keys need your explicit clear before re-trust • We don’t run your servers or upload your credentials Notes • You need your own SSH-reachable Linux/Unix host and any Agent CLI you already use there • This is a mobile SSH client—it does not bundle third-party Agent products, and it is not a cloud IDE Built for developers and operators who need quick remote actions—and Agent sessions—on the go.
BLE Inspector Tools

BLE Inspector is a Bluetooth Low Energy debugging tool that helps you discover nearby devices, inspect advertising data, connect to peripherals, and browse GATT services and characteristics. Read characteristic values, send text or Hex data, subscribe to Notify/Indicate, and review communication logs. Packet templates, automated test flows, archived reports, and throughput testing help streamline device validation. The app also includes scan history, offline and advertising-change events, same-type device comparison, GATT snapshot comparison, data conversion, and local network file transfer. Every connection, read, write, and subscription action is explicitly initiated by the user. Built for BLE developers, firmware engineers, device validation teams, and QA testers.
