Interesting project! Two problems for me: - I want my iPhone terminal to be built for use w/ external keyboard. - While I really like pay-once a use-often app like a terminal you really want to try before you buy. But maybe Apples general refund-if-not-satisfied is still a thing and enough?
I'd love the ability to run a command on connection to a server (like "tmux attach -t main") and also a way to create my own buttons in the UI to send things like tmux commands (next window, create window, etc) to make it easier use from my phone. Also, and I'll probably just buy it to test, but how does it handle copy/paste and STT? Especially with coding agents I use speech-to-text to explain something and that's a…

For STT I use the WisprFlow app/keyboard. It is much more accurate than the built in functionality in iOS, in my experience.

There used to be a couple non-subscription ones. I’m still using Prompt 2, but of course it’s been superseded by the subscription-bound Prompt 3 on the App Store for some time now.
+1 in the same boat here. Only subscription I'm paying now is Signal backups, I simply can't justify the one-time price of 100$ they charge for Prompt 3
Neat, it's staggering that there hasn't been a good non-subscription option for a simple utility like this for iOS. I've used Termius for a while, but it pushes a subscription and AI features pretty hard. I think this really needs the ability to generate SSH keys on the secure enclave, like Secretive[1] does on macOS. [1] https://secretive.dev/
Termius, for example, doesn't have the problem.
Some brutal reviews on the iOS app store suggesting RSA keys do not work?
Well, the app description does say "modern". No modern app should be using rsa keys. ssh-rsa was deprecated in OpenSSH in 2020 https://www.openssh.org/txt/release-8.2
Does it have the same issue with key repeat? It's a long standing iOS bug, but some apps seem to fix it (somehow). Without the fix, vim ends up being essentially unusable since I can't press and hold on the cursor movement keys. iSH, for example, hits the bug and it severely limits the usefulness of the app.
Some apps just implement it manually, but yeah.
Don’t fool yourself into using iPad as your work machine. Buy a macbook.
