CUSTOMIZABLE KEYBOARD • Easily bind custom actions to buttons on the keyboard toolbar. • Works with custom iOS keyboards such as SwiftKey. OPEN LINKS AND SELECT TEXT • Familiar iOS text selection experience. Long-press on text to show the selection controls. • Copy and paste text. • Select a URL to easily open it in the web browser. OTHER FEATURES • iCloud sync support. • Terminal color themes. Choose your favorite from the several themes included or make your own. • Key file authentication support. Import an existing private key, or create a new key and export the public key. • Host key verification and management. • Agent forwarding (OpenSSH servers only). • Keep connections alive while the app is in the background. • Connection history with optional realtime location data. • Plenty of other configuration options.

Boopbeep is a native SSH, SFTP, and database client for iOS and iPadOS. Real PTY terminals — vim, tmux, htop, nano, less, anything that needs one. 24-bit ANSI color. Persistent sessions across tabs. A glassy, reorderable key strip with Esc, Tab, arrows, pipes, and Ctrl/F-keys one tap above the keyboard. Pinch to zoom, custom fonts (with Powerline and Nerd Font support), tune cursor blink, bell, scrollback, emulation. Eight databases over SSH — Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Redis, MongoDB, Consul KV, etcd — tunneled through the same connection. Type-aware result grid, schema browser, query history, session monitor, ER diagram. Passwordless local auth supported. Live host widgets — CPU, memory, disk, load — polled over SSH. Distro logos (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora, Alpine, macOS, BSD, more) next to host names everywhere. Port forwarding, built in. Local (-L) and remote (-R) TCP tunnels through SSH — no exposed ports, no extra binaries. EVERY FEATURE, INCLUDED Pay once. No subscriptions, no Pro tier, no feature gates.
