Description

Local Unix terminal for iOS. Run Python, JavaScript, sh & all Unix commands locally on your phone, no network connection required.
Powerful when combined with Shortcuts.

a-Shell mini is a complete local terminal emulator, allowing to run most Unix commands on you iOS device. You can transfer files using scp and curl, edit them with vim and ed, process them using grep, awk and sed. Work with git repositories using lg2.
Most commands are compiled for iOS native Arm64 format, making them fast and well integrated with iOS underlying BSD Unix.

a-Shell mini includes Python, Lua, JavaScript and webAssembly for programming and scripting. It also includes native ffmpeg and convert for fast image and video conversion.

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 mini 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 mini uses iPadOS 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.

a-Shell mini is a minimalist terminal, designed to have a very small footprint (less than 250 MB). If you need more commands, please consider a-Shell, which has more Python packages, more JavaScript modules, Perl, make, a C and C++ compiler and TeX.

Version 1.15.1

- several bug fixes with WebAssembly execution

지워지는 이유

안 쓰는 앱 자동 삭제를 니네가 설정에서 해놨기 때문… 알아서 찾아서 그 설정 해제해라… 답답이들아…

Developer Response ,

I have problems understanding exactly what the issue is here. The language barreer might be the cause. Would you mind sending a more detailed description using either e-mail (another_shell@icloud.com) or Discord ( https://discord.gg/cvYnZm69Gy)? Thank you so much.

멍청한 유저들아

어플 잘못이 아니라 니네 아이폰에서 설정이 돼 있는 거임 안 쓰는 어플은 지알아서 삭제되게

Developer Response ,

I understand what you are saying; to be fair to the users, that is not a very intuitive feature of iOS, and the app is being used (a lot), but somehow it doesn't register when it's started from Shortcuts.
