gterm

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 is a real terminal for iOS. It renders with Ghostty's GPU engine for true xterm/VT emulation, connects straight to your servers over SSH, keeps your keys on device, and ships an AI command assistant that writes the commands for you.

GPU-RENDERED TERMINAL
Real xterm/VT emulation via Ghostty's libghostty, drawn on Metal.

SSH-NATIVE
Connects with swift-nio-ssh — password and public-key auth, a PTY shell, live window resizing, and trust-on-first-use host-key verification.

KEYS STAY ON DEVICE
Import Ed25519 / ECDSA private keys into the iOS Keychain — device-only, never synced.

SHELL-GRADE KEYBOARD
A custom accessory keyboard with the keys iOS forgets — Esc, Ctrl, Alt, Tab, arrows, and sticky modifiers.

AI COMMAND ASSISTANT
Describe what you want in plain English. The AI proposes a command and shows it for review before it runs.

PORT FORWARDING & BROWSER
Forward a local port over SSH to a service on your server and open it in the built-in browser. Tap a URL in the terminal to open it there too.
