Pockterm

Pockterm is a native SSH and SFTP client built for iPhone. Free and open source.

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

BIG SCREEN

• Plug in video glasses like VITURE, or a monitor or TV, and the terminal fills that screen
• Your phone keeps the keyboard and key bar, and shows the session's files where the terminal was
• Its own text size for the glasses, a Paste button, and PgUp/PgDn through the scrollback

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
• Upload from Files, iCloud Drive or your photo library, several files at once

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
