Pockterm is a native SSH and SFTP client built for iPhone. CONNECT - SSH into your servers with passwords or Ed25519/RSA keys - Trusted host-key verification warns you if a server's key ever changes - Multiple live sessions; minimize one and pick it back up from the tab bar MANAGE - Organize hosts into groups - Save reusable command snippets - Generate and store SSH keys in the iOS Keychain - Set up local and remote port forwards TRANSFER - Browse, upload, and download files over SFTP AI ASSISTANT (optional) - Ask an AI assistant about terminal output and get suggested commands - Bring your own API key: Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Hugging Face - Off by default; you're told which provider receives data before anything is sent PRIVACY - No account, no Pockterm servers, no tracking or analytics - Credentials and keys live in the iOS Keychain - Your connection data stays on your device

  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

New • Sort files by date. The file browser has a Sort button: order by Name or Date, newest first. Tap the one already chosen to flip the order. Pockterm remembers your choice. • See when every file changed. Each row in the file browser now shows its modification date and time next to its permissions and size. • The built-in guide now covers importing a key you already have. Fixed • tmux no longer garbles the screen. Programs that redraw a lot inside tmux, such as emacs saving a file or paging through a buffer, could scramble lines, the emacs mode line especially. • The cursor stops blinking when nothing is listening. Once the shell exits, the connection fails or the session is disconnected, the cursor holds still instead of inviting you to type. It blinks again if the session comes back. • Pockterm is now built in the Swift 6 language mode, which catches threading mistakes when the app is compiled rather than when it runs.
