a-Shell
软件开发工具
免费 · 专为 iPad 设计。未针对 macOS 验证。
a-Shell is a complete local terminal emulator, allowing to run most Unix commands on your iOS device. You can transfer files using scp and curl, edit them with vim and ed, process them using grep, awk and sed. You can work with git repositories using lg2.
Most commands are compiled for iOS native Arm64 format, making them fast and well integrated with the BSD Unix that powers iOS/iPadOS.
a-Shell includes Python, Lua, Perl, JavaScript, C, C++ for programming and TeX (texlive 2025, with Tikz and LuaTeX) for text processing.
There are also multiple network utilities: nslookup, ping, whois, ifconfig... Type help for help, help -l to get the full list of commands.
a-Shell can be controlled from Shortcuts: run commands in order, process files in a-Shell, get the results as text or files, transfer files to other apps...
a-shell uses iOS 13+ “multiple windows” ability, so you can run multiple shells at the same time, with different commands, in different directories. You can edit a file in one window with vim and process it in the other with python.
Compile your C or C++ programs to webAssembly using clang or clang++, and execute the resulting binary. A complete webAssembly SDK is included (WASI-libc).
a-Shell is the complete version. If you need a smaller app, and you don't need a C compiler, a TeX engine, or numpy and matplotlib, there is a-Shell mini.
更多 请问能修改字体大小吗？就是字体太小了对眼睛不友好，希望能调节。另外，支持vim 很不错。
开发者回复 The "config" command lets you change font, font size and color. Type "config -h" for help.

The a shell app is great! but can not scroll page up, can support the feature?
开发者回复 That seems to be an issue specific to iOS 17.3, I'm working on it.

lg2 add cmake Unable to open repository '%s' '.' [-3] - could not find repository from '.'
开发者回复 You cannot add packages. lg2 is a got clone, it will clone repositories.
