Your coding assistants run on your machines. Follow their work from your iPhone or iPad. iVerb is an SSH terminal and companion for remote development. Connect to your own Mac, Linux host, or WSL environment to read conversations, review code changes, reply to tasks, and use a real terminal. Works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, and DeepSeek Harness running on your own server. Available interactions depend on the CLI and supported transcript formats. CONVERSATIONS AND PROJECTS • Read project conversations, code diffs, and tool activity • Swipe to quote messages and add images from Photos or the clipboard • Preview remote images, text, code, and Markdown through links in project chats • Review recognized collaborating agents, work rounds, results, and separate conversations • Keep editable project to-dos on your device A TERMINAL FOR YOUR PHONE • Connect over SSH to home, office, or cloud hosts • Use Zellij or tmux sessions with terminal function keys • Customize shortcut order and preview terminal themes • CJK input, Dynamic Type, and accessibility support NOTIFICATIONS AND ACTIONS • Receive task-completion and input-needed alerts • Reply or use quick actions for compatible tasks • Optional encrypted hosted push relay access is included with Pro CONNECTIONS AND DATA • You choose the hosts; connection credentials are stored in the device Keychain • SSH encrypts transfers; conversation caches and app to-dos are stored locally • Images you choose to attach are uploaded to your configured server • iVerb does not provide a VPN or an AI model service.

Astra Shell is a native terminal client designed for persistent remote work. Traditional remote terminals are tied to the current device and network. When a client restarts, the network disconnects, or you switch devices, you often need to reconnect and find your place again. Astra Shell keeps shells running on a remote host you control, so your Mac, iPhone, and iPad can return to the same terminal and continue from the existing context. Key features: • Persistent remote shells Remote shells and their tasks continue running after the client disconnects. Reconnect to return to an existing terminal. • Continue across devices Open the same shell from Mac, iPhone, or iPad to keep viewing and entering commands. • Native terminal experience Supports common terminal modes, colors, wide characters, alternate screens, mouse input, paged history, and copy and paste. • Remote files Browse remote directories, upload and download files, preview text, view transfer progress, and inspect Git status. • Astra and SSH hosts Connect to a self-hosted Astra service over QUIC/TLS, or use standalone SSH/SFTP mode with a standard server. • Private-key security SSH private keys are stored in Keychain. Host configurations and credentials can synchronize through iCloud Keychain when enabled. Astra mode requires the open-source astrad service on a host you own or manage, with an authorized public key configured. Standard SSH hosts do not require astrad. Installation instructions are available on the support website. Astra Shell contains no advertising or behavioral analytics. It does not send terminal commands, remote files, or SSH private keys to the developer.
