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.
Vim 8 や Python 3.7 がネイティブで動くため、pip でインストールした pyls や flake8 と連携して vim-lsp や ale と言ったプラグインを使うこともできる。iOS/iPadOS 向けの Vim アプリで Python や外部コマンドを使うようなプラグインを入れることができるアプリは現状このアプリが唯一です。iCloud Drive や Working Copy (git) などの外部アプリのディレクトリも開くことができるため、単純なテキストエディタとしても使いやすいです。また、ネイティブの TeX Live 2019 では LuaTeX-ja が含まれているため、LuaTeX-ja のクラスを使っていれば何の問題もなく日本語文書がコンパイルできます。その他多数の UNIX コマンドが同梱されており、今後の発展が楽しみなアプリです。
いいね

最高のiPad用ターミナルアプリ。一点だけ気になったことがある。SSHで接続している端末でtmuxを使っていると画面崩れが起きる場合がある。画面が崩れるのは左右に分かれているペインのどちらかで改行が発生した時。反対側のペインにも改行が反映される。The best terminal app for iPad.Just one minor issue: when a new line occurs in one tmux pane while connected via SSH, it reflects in the adjacent pane as well, causing the display to break.
can not install transformers and other python lib
人類のいなくなる
pip install transformers==4.44.2it return errorERROR: Exception:Traceback (most recent call last): File "/private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/278B8961-35BE-44DA-804D-2AE344A92209/a-Shell.app/Library/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pip/_internal/cli/base_command.py", line 180, in exc_logging_wrapper status = run_func(*args)And there is also a error in when install mlx-lm.
デベロッパの回答
Hi, you can only install pure Python packages. Transformers and mlx-mm have binary components written in C and Rust. These cannot be added to an app after AppStore approval.
great invention

素晴らしいアプリ。電車に乗ってるときにunixのコマンド発行できるのはキチガイみたいで気持ちいい
Fixes multiple issues with libgit2. This should fix the case where lg2 crashes randomly.
