OpenTerm brings the power of a command line interface to iOS, making it the go-to terminal emulator for developers, tech enthusiasts, and professionals on the go. This advanced CLI tool is designed to function seamlessly within iOS’s sandboxed environment, supporting an extensive range of Linux-based commands and providing SSH/FTP client capabilities for secure remote connections.
Key Features:
• Comprehensive Command Library: Execute popular commands like `ls`, `cat`, `grep`, `curl`, `echo`, `scp`, `ssh`, and many more. New commands are added regularly to enhance functionality.
• File Management: Seamlessly create, delete, move, and copy files within your iOS filesystem.
• Network Tools: Utilize commands like `ping`, `nslookup`, `nc`, and `curl` to diagnose network issues and connect with remote systems.
• Remote Access: Securely access and manage servers with SSH and FTP/SFTP, directly from your device.
• Built-in Utilities: Includes useful scripting and automation tools (`awk`, `sed`, `grep`), and utilities like `gzip` for file compression.
• Programming Language Support: Run and experiment with interpreters like **Python** and **Lua**, making it easy to test code snippets or automate tasks on the go.
• Customizable: Tailor your CLI experience with customizable settings, such as enabling command aliases or configuring network connection preferences.
Whether you’re troubleshooting remotely, managing files, running quick scripts, or testing Python/Lua code, OpenTerm empowers you to bring the full power of a command line wherever you are.

It’s amusing to see reviews from users who have very little or no idea on how to use this app. For users who have extensive experience with Linux shells and CLI, it becomes readily clear what this app is for. There are limitations on what this app can do, but the capabilities it already has can come in handy in certain situations. For a more powerful app, try LibTerm or a-Shell, both of which were open source and available for free on the App Store as of this writing. For users who have never used CLI on Linux, I suggest that you first learn it and use it on Linux for real-world useful stuff for maybe a couple weeks or months until you are really comfortable with it, before tackling this or other similar apps.
Confused after upgrading to premium
Kali is Confused
I just ugraded to premium and now when I select options from the settings menu it opens the wrong one, e.g. I wasn't planning on leaving this review, I wanted to change the size of the font and when I clicked the option to change the font size it brought me here...-____- UPDATE: After relaunching the app everything seems normal
Developer Response
We're glad to hear that restarting the app resolved it! Let me know if you need any further assistance!
Just needs a better way of explaining
?!?????????!!!!
Yet right now I don’t know the real potential of this app and the way it teaches should have been like the desktop cmd to where in the text it gives examples and what it can use with it. Overall I feel amazing having this on my phone though. Even though I’m kinda confused about it.

Thanks for your feedback. We will improve this.
