gterm 1.1 (build 2026060109) — sideload via AltStore or SideStore.

What's new in 1.1:

• Get Started guide on first launch (reopen anytime from the Settings tab).
• Settings tab with terminal color themes — Dracula, Nord, Solarized Dark, Gruvbox Dark, Catppuccin Mocha, or the default.
• SSH port forwarding with a built-in browser.
• Tap a URL in the terminal to open it in the browser.
• Pinch to resize the terminal; one-finger swipe to scroll; press-and-hold to select & copy.
• AI command assistant: a sparkles button in a session proposes a command, you review before it runs.

gterm:

An iOS terminal app that renders with ghostty's libghostty engine (GPU/Metal, full xterm/VT emulation) and connects over SSH.

📲 Get the app: Download on the App Store (iOS 17+). Or sideload with AltStore or SideStore — both read the same source URL https://madeye.github.io/gterm/altstore.json.

iOS can't fork/exec a local shell, so gterm drives the terminal from an SSH connection via a custom passthru IO backend added to libghostty. See PLAN.md for the full architecture.

Status:

• ✅ libghostty passthru IO backend (madeye/ghostty).
• ✅ iOS app; ghostty terminal surface renders on device/simulator.
• ✅ Lean Swift layer over libghostty (app, surface view, input).
• ✅ SSH transport (swift-nio-ssh): password auth, PTY shell, window-change.
• ✅ Custom on-screen keyboard (esc/ctrl/alt/tab/arrows/symbols, sticky mods).
• ✅ Saved connections (Keychain passwords) + trust-on-first-use host keys.
