Swiftix
Rock Your Virtual Cluster
Free · In-App Purchases
Build a pocket-sized virtual cluster on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Run shells, manage VMs, connect networks, inspect system state, and experiment safely with snapshots.
Carry an interactive operating system lab in your pocket. Swiftix is a user-space virtual computing environment for Apple platforms. Use a shell, manage multiple virtual machines, build virtual networks, and explore how operating systems work through observable process, file system, and network state—all on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
TERMINAL AND COMMAND LINE
• Run multiple terminal tabs with isolated shell sessions
• Manage files, processes, and jobs with familiar commands

VIRTUAL MACHINE MANAGEMENT
• Create, rename, search, start, shut down, restart, suspend, and resume VMs
• Give every VM its own file system, process table, terminals, and network stack

VIRTUAL NETWORKING

• Configure IPv4 addresses, gateways, router mode, latency, and packet loss
• Visualize connections in an interactive topology
• Inspect interface counters, routes, ARP and TCP state, and switch forwarding tables
SNAPSHOTS AND DATA TRANSFER

• Clone independent VMs from snapshots
• Import or export an entire virtual cluster for backup and transfer
BUILT FOR LEARNING

Please note: Swiftix is a user-space environment that runs inside the app process. It is not a hardware virtualizer, does not boot a native operating-system kernel, and does not provide access to the host device's shell.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• The terminal feels more like Linux: write and run shell scripts, use the usual options of ls, grep, sed, sort, wc and more, and try new commands such as awk, tar, less, date, and id, plus ip addr, ss, and curl -I for networking.
• Virtual machines keep the device's time, and you can power off or restart from the terminal with shutdown and reboot.
• Virtual machines created by earlier versions can update their system files under Summary > Disk and Snapshots. A snapshot is taken first.
• Fixed Ctrl-C at the prompt and the terminal size being lost after reopening a terminal.
