Description

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.

Help please cannot access the existing files

uncircle on

From the shell I cannot access the existing files. How to go to the existing local ipad directories. Please.

Worked perfectly for my SSH use case

RaveeshAgarwal on

I tried a lot of shells to ssh into my home raspberry pie. All came with a gui that could not even connect properly. Using this was as user friendly as using the mac terminal and that is saying something. Thank you, devs for this brilliant piece of software

Thank you

Switched from laptop to mobile

Replaced my laptop with iPad.

Makes the iPad actually functional. There’s one thing I’d like the developer to fix, there are two cursor markers and often they position at different places, it is quite annoying.

Amazing App and Lots of love to Nicolas Holzschuch

I am a Linux user on my PC and laptops and I very much craved a terminal app on my iPad. This shell is the best I could find which doesn’t hinder my workflow when I switch from my laptop to iPad. A lot of thanks to the developer who is providing an app worth every penny without any extra cost. A true pioneer of open source. This was just my appreciation review(comment) for the developer for all his works (I use Carnets as well). Thanks a lot Nicolas. Lots of love.

Its not an app… its ecosystem

ramworker on

An application does help in one particular way..whereas this is something else… you can automate anything which is way cooler Author doesn’t charge thousands and not collecting data on top of that is like saints in field of crooks

Amazing app

omega_arag on

A really amazing app to use the processing power of iPad and iPhones.

The best

SkinnyVimmer on

Probably the best app for using vim clang and python
