Ratings and Reviews
Attention to detail all over it
There are other more popular ssh apps on the store but I went ahead with this because it’s from the developer of Working Copy git app which I really like.
It came across as well thought out with attention to detail like live widget and even an Apple Watch integration. The keyboard picks up filenames etc from the terminal text and suggests them, which is handy when typing on a phone.
Best SSH app available on Apple ecosystem
It has a cloud servers feature that automatically creates and manages supported cloud servers.. iCloud keychain/config sync feature is a plus, add a new server once in any device and use in any iDevice
Love it
Very handy. Saved me a couple of times!
