Shell-first remote workspace

iPad

Shell-first remote workspace for iPad. NeoShell is a focused SSH workspace built around the terminal. It connects directly to the servers you configure and provides a real interactive PTY — not a simulated command box. Everything happens between your iPad and your server. No accounts. No analytics. No cloud backend. Just your shell. FEATURES • Real SSH terminal with full PTY support • Ghostty-based terminal engine with Metal rendering • Password and private key authentication • Local-first host and project profiles • Remote file explorer with text preview • Direct shell or tmux/zellij session attach • Automatic reconnect and session restore • iPad-optimized keyboard accessory row • UTF-8 safe and truecolor compatible DESIGN NeoShell keeps the interface minimal and predictable. The terminal is the workspace. Files are tools. Your server remains the source of truth. PRIVACY NeoShell does not operate a backend service. Host profiles and credentials are stored locally on your device. Connections are made only to servers you configure. Stay close to the machine.

- Added terminal mouse-click dispatch for tmux/zellij so taps can be forwarded as terminal click events (for pane selection and similar workflows). - Improved text copy behavior across auto-wrapped terminal lines to avoid unnecessary line breaks. - You can now configure Session Persistence (tmux / zellij / none) directly while creating a new Project. - The Remote Project picker now follows the same visual structure as Project Settings for a cleaner, more consistent layout. - Added a Show Hidden Paths toggle (off by default) for optional hidden directory visibility.
