Recommend a Terminal app for iOS? [closed]

Solution 1:

I use Prompt 2 by Panic. It's an excellent terminal app / SSH client, and works on the iPad too (in fact, it's even better on the iPad).

However, it's not free.

Solution 2:

I use openTerm myself. I use this to bring up the command line on my iPad. OpenTerm is $3.99 on the App Store. A free app is LibTerm also available on the App Store. These allow you to access the file system on the iPad among other things. You can also send commands to your iPad. I would suggest using LibTerm to see if it does what you want. It's hard to give more advice without knowing more about what you hope to accomplish.

Solution 3:

Personally, I prefer apps that are cross platform so that I don't have to "learn" different apps on different devices.

Once such App is Termius. There's a free tier, as well as a "pro" tier that allows you to sync across devices regardless of OS. It supports iOS, macOS, Windows, Android and Linux.

Disclaimer: I don't use it on macOS because I prefer iTerm2 there, but I do use it on my iOS and Windows devices and (reluctantly when I have to) on Android devices.

Solution 4:

Get your own local terminal with LibTerm

For network ssh use Prompt

I would expect some very specific requirements if another than these apps would be the best recommended apps in 2020.
