> SSH for iPhone and iPad

Keys that know what you're running.

Termfox is an SSH client for iPhone and iPad. Open vim and the key bar shows motions. Attach tmux and it shows your windows. Run Claude Code and its questions turn into buttons.

Pick a program below the phone to see the key bar change.

In a shell: esc, tab, ctrl and a cursor you drag.

Built for a thumb, not a desk.

Secure Enclave keys

Create a key inside your device's security chip. It can't be copied off the device, and every use asks for Face ID or Touch ID.

Host keys, always checked

The first connection shows the server's fingerprint to compare. If the key ever changes, Termfox stops and tells you.

Paste an ssh command

ssh -J bastion -p 2222 ci@forge fills in the new host for you, jump host included.

Snippets with variables

Save systemctl restart $SERVICE once. Next time, pick the service from the ones you used before.

Select by meaning

Grow a selection by word, line or the whole output of the last command. No fiddling with handles.

Reconnects on its own

Lose signal in a tunnel and Termfox reconnects when it's back. Your scrollback stays, and what you typed meanwhile is sent.

Your hosts and keys stay on your device.

Termfox talks to the servers you add and nothing else. There is no Termfox server to send anything to.
