About ShadowTerm ssh & mosh Terminal
ShadowTerm is a full-featured SSH and Mosh terminal for iPhone and iPad. Keep tmux and herdr alive across networks, with a desktop-quality terminal and keyboards built for the job. KEY FEATURES Connections that survive - SSH with passwords and keys. Secure Enclave keys sign with Face ID and never leave the device - Jump hosts (Connect Via), one hop. Mosh does not run through a jump - Mosh survives network drops, backgrounding, and sleep - Local and remote port forwarding. SSH agent forwarding (SSH only), confirmed each use - Auto-connect and geofence auto-connect. Background monitoring, notifications, and Live Activities - Handoff a saved host to another Apple device - Picture in Picture. Stopping it does not disconnect Terminal - 256-color support - tmux, GNU screen, and herdr, detected automatically - Mouse mode: tap to left-click, long-press to right-click, scroll to navigate. Mouse off: long-press or double-tap to paste - Tap a path to open that file. A wrapped link opens as one URL - Multi-window on iPad: Terminal, Files, Monitor, Markdown, or Text Editor - App themes include Sci-Fi, Glass, Midnight, Matrix, and more. Glass chrome is transparent.
