Beschrijving

a-Shell 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. You can 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 includes Python, Lua, Perl, JavaScript, C, C++ for programming and TeX (texlive 2023, 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.

Awesome app! Really well done.

Works great! Really cool to play around with. vim is a lovely inclusion, and the wasi compilation is great.

A few feature requests:
- git
- pinch to zoom to change font size (useful on iPhone when you want to get a better overview)
- a tip jar 😉

Awesome app and excellent support from the developer

This app works great and really provides some features I was looking for. Especially the option to compile c-programs on my iPad and the implementation of LaTex is a great combination for me!
I had an initial problem to get pdflatex running but I got excellent support from the developer and that fixed the problem. Again, great work Nicolas, and thanks for the support!

OMG

I’ve been trying to find a way to shift to an iPad as my on-the-go machine rather than a laptop, but I’m a vi user. I messed around with iVim for a bit, but it won’t do multiple windows and feels brittle in general. This is glorious.
