About

AnyPane

Features
Read full description

Keep each remote task organized without switching apps. AnyPane brings SSH terminals and VNC desktops into multiple workspaces on iPhone, iPad and Mac. ORGANIZE YOUR WORK Create multiple workspaces, each with up to four SSH/VNC panes. Combine terminals and desktops, adjust splits and rearrange panes on iPad and Mac. On iPhone, switch between panes with tabs. SSH terminals belong to each workspace; VNC sessions are shared across workspaces. CONNECT WITH SSH Use password authentication or an OpenSSH Ed25519 private key. Verify the server fingerprint on first connection. Reach a target through one SSH jump host and create local port forwards that listen only on your device's loopback address. KEEP A DESKTOP NEARBY Connect to a VNC desktop directly or through SSH. Direct VNC is not encrypted and TLS is not supported; prefer VNC over SSH. LOCAL CONFIGURATION Save connection settings on your device, with passwords, private keys and passphrases stored separately in the system Keychain. REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITS Requires iOS/iPadOS 17 or macOS 15 and authorized access to a compatible SSH or VNC server, with your own server credentials. AnyPane does not provide servers or service accounts. RSA keys, keyboard-interactive/OTP, SSH Agent, multi-hop jump chains, SFTP, RDP, SOCKS and remote forwarding are not supported. Reconnection is manual. Background connections on iPhone and iPad are not guaranteed. Closing a pane does not disconnect a session.

Your computers, in your pocket. terminALL connects your iPhone and iPad to your Linux, Windows and Mac machines: terminal, files, live desktop and remote control in one app. If you left something running when you walked out the door — a build, a backup, a long script or a coding agent — you can check on it and keep going from your phone. Your sessions live on the computer: close the app, lose the connection, the work keeps running and picks up exactly where you left it. TERMINAL • Persistent sessions: tmux on Linux and Mac, a persistent PowerShell on Windows • Switch, rename and open sessions on the computer with one tap • A key bar built for a terminal: Ctrl, Alt, arrows, Esc, Tab and keys you add • Snippets: type the commands you use often with one tap • Eight themes, adjustable font and size FILES • Browse, download, upload, rename and delete over SFTP • Preview photos, video, PDF and text • Adds itself to the iOS Files app as a location: your server shows up as a folder on your phone and opens from other apps too SCREEN AND CONTROL • Watch your computer's desktop live (hardware-encoded H.264/HEVC) • Your taps become the mouse; the keyboard is in the same app • Resolution, frame rate and bitrate are yours to set • Linux, Windows and Mac POWER • Sleep, restart, shut down, hibernate • Wake a powered-off computer over the network; if your phone is on another network, another computer that is awake relays the packet CONNECTION AND SECURITY • Generate, import and install SSH keys; lock them with Face ID or Touch ID • Port forwarding (ssh -L / ssh -R) and agent forwarding • A second address is found on its own for when you are away from home • Finds the computers on your local network PRIVACY No account, no sign-up, no servers of ours. The connection is between your device and your own computer; passwords and keys stay in your device's secure enclave. We collect no telemetry. If you want, your servers, keys and settings carry over to your other Apple devices through iCloud — still with no account and no extra cost. SUPPORTED SYSTEMS Linux, Windows 10/11 and macOS. The same app on iPhone and iPad, with sidebar navigation and a full-width terminal on the big screen. MEMBERSHIP Connecting requires a membership; the first 7 days are free. • Monthly — $2.99 • Yearly — $14.99 • Lifetime (one-time purchase) — $24.99 Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
