a-Shell

I cannot break off my python script that has exception of keyboard interrupt.

A 4096 bit rsa key generates much faster on here than iSH. If you copy a cat’d public key and paste it into your authorized keys through another ssh app you’ll probably run into denied permission issues when trying to connect. For reference, this appeared to be a clipboard issue when pasting the cat outputted a-shell key into the authorized keys file of a server already connected via Termius. Tap support could be better. Cursor could stay in prompt when a selection occurs but doesn’t. So far it’s not a great SSH tool. More of a novelty shell for limited local play.

A lot of work went into this. Shell seems stable. Now to read more about this shell and shell scripting abilities.

This is truly one of the most empowering apps on the AppStore enabling my phone and iPad to be much more powerful. This is something that should be native to iOS and iPadOS but I'm very grateful that Nicolas developed this tool !

I have been using it for educational purposes. I am currently learning the basics of python through the “Python For Everybody” course on Coursera. I was able to write short scripts on a-shell to pull and process data from the web. My only problem so far is that I am struggling to install scipy on a-shell. Hopefully I will find a solution to that problem soon.

No way to remove the app once it’s downloaded. Wont allow me to change the directory so it’s stuck on documents. Pretty worthless.

So happy I found this app. Keep up the great work.

a-Shell is an outstanding terminal interface app for iOS, boasting a user-friendly design and powerful features. It supports a wide range of Linux commands, enabling seamless interaction with servers and local files. Its robust performance ensures smooth operation, even with complex scripts, and regular updates enhance its reliability and security. Whether for professional development or personal projects, a-Shell is a must-have for bringing the full power of a terminal interface to your iOS device.

This app deserves five stars for being as amazingly capable and straightforward as I feel bash can be given iOS sandboxing and other limitations. I have tried a few different terminal/bash/ssh apps now this is definitely a favorite of mine. I like the mini version too not because I need the light weight but because it means two commands can run at once (if I fight with iOS memory management to keep both apps “foregrounded” 😂).

It's a local, non-emulated shell. Simple. Just wish it had APT or pacman.
