This application is designed to provide a reliable and fast terminal experience, leveraging hardware acceleration for text rendering to ensure smooth performance. It employs a robust terminal emulation based on the PuTTY engine, making it compatible with various command-line tools and protocols. The app works particularly well with programs like 'screen' and 'irssi,' allowing users to manage multiple sessions and chat seamlessly from their mobile devices.
One of the key features of this app is the gesture control system, which is optimized for ease of use. For instance, default gestures allow users to switch channels or scroll through their sessions with simple swipe actions. Additionally, the gesture system is fully customizable, enabling users to assign any keypress or action to a gesture, tailoring the interface to their specific workflow and preferences.
Connecting to remote servers is streamlined with this app. Users can save login credentials and configure commands such as ‘screen -rd’ to establish connections quickly with a single tap. The app also supports 3D Touch, allowing direct connection from the iOS home screen for even faster access to terminal sessions. This makes it convenient to reconnect to remote environments without navigating through multiple menus.
The app features a customizable keyboard that allows binding of specific actions to toolbar buttons and supports third-party keyboards like SwiftKey. Text management is user-friendly with familiar iOS features such as long-press for text selection, copying, pasting, and opening URLs directly in a web browser. Additional features include iCloud sync, terminal themes, key file authentication, host key management, agent forwarding, persistent sessions, connection history, and numerous configuration options, with some features requiring a paid upgrade after a free trial period.
