iPhone

Free, and staying that way. Built because no free iPhone terminal did what we wanted: Pockterm renders full-screen console apps and coding TUIs without garbled output. Pockterm is a native SSH and SFTP client built for iPhone. CONNECT - SSH into your servers with passwords or Ed25519/RSA keys - Trusted host-key verification warns you if a server's key ever changes - Multiple live sessions; minimize one and pick it back up from the tab bar MANAGE - Organize hosts into groups - Save reusable command snippets - Generate and store SSH keys in the iOS Keychain - Set up local and remote port forwards TRANSFER - Browse, upload, and download files over SFTP AI ASSISTANT (optional) - Ask an AI assistant about terminal output and get suggested commands - Bring your own API key: Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Hugging Face - Off by default; you're told which provider receives data before anything is sent PRIVACY - No account, no Pockterm servers, no tracking or analytics - Credentials and keys live in the iOS Keychain - Your connection data stays on your device

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Find your files faster - A help button in the SFTP browser explains how to download (long-press a file), how to upload, and how to move files to and from iCloud Drive. Keyboard fixes - The hide-keyboard button is now pinned to the right of the key bar, so it never scrolls out of reach. The other keys slide underneath it. Under the hood - Updated the terminal engine to the latest SwiftTerm.
