a-Shell is a complete local terminal emulator, allowing to run most Unix commands on you iOS device. You can transfer files using scp and curl, edit them with vim and ed, process them using grep, awk and sed. You can work with git repositories using lg2.
Most commands are compiled for iOS native Arm64 format, making them fast and well integrated with iOS underlying BSD Unix.
a-Shell includes Python, Lua, Perl, JavaScript, C, C++ for programming and TeX (texlive 2023, with Tikz and LuaTeX) for text processing.
There are also multiple network utilities: nslookup, ping, whois, ifconfig... Type help for help, help -l to get the full list of commands.
a-Shell can be controlled from Shortcuts: run commands in order, process files in a-Shell, get the results as text or files, transfer files to other apps...
a-shell uses iOS 13+ “multiple windows” ability, so you can run multiple shells at the same time, with different commands, in different directories. You can edit a file in one window with vim and process it in the other with python.
Compile your C or C++ programs to webAssembly using clang or clang++, and execute the resulting binary. A complete webAssembly SDK is included (WASI-libc).
a-Shell is the complete version. If you need a smaller app, and you don't need a C compiler, a TeX engine, or numpy and matplotlib, there is a-Shell mini.
Très pratique pour pouvoir utiliser des packages pip, lancer des codes Python et faire marcher des exécutables pour Mac tout simple avec l’aide de son portable.
Par contre, je n’arrive pas à effacer efficacement le log de mes commandes même après la fermeture de l’application et de l’exécution du commande "clear". Est-ce qu’il existe un moyen de pouvoir résoudre ce problème ?
Nice tool for coding projects and Text editing
I do not often make a comment. It’s perfect for my own use (Latex / Python and lg2(git)) and works perfectly on IPad.
I have just noticed a critical issue about security. As far as I’ve searched, the app does not allow to hide passwords (not found on history but it’s visible on screen). Best
You should try it
I don’t usually make a review
This is the best shell I’ve seen so far
Great work and thank you so much
There is python and pip (and that is incredible)
Also you can access the files you created with the "Folder" app
(You just can’t access files everywhere you want on your phone, yet that’s not vital)
Closes instantly
Hi,
It crashes instantly as soon as i open it.
I have used it many times before so i uninstalled the app then uploaded it again, reboot my phone. Still crashing :((
Look good but missing things
That's rare a programmer dont use git. It could be better to have it.
Could be good to have Tmux too
Nice app
Thanks for the app. But I can not access to var, etc, tmp ... directories after doing cd / . Message is « permission denied » Any hints ? Best.
Nmap command
I would like using nmap command, but that dont working ...:( how can i do this ?
Thks
Great Job
Awesome !!! can you add exuberant ctags Please, Clang is just a provocation as it is ! It’s must execute Please ;)
