## a-Shell Description
a-Shell is a complete local terminal emulator, allowing to run most Unix commands on your 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 the BSD Unix that powers iOS/iPadOS.

a-Shell includes Python, Lua, Perl, JavaScript, C, C++ for programming and TeX (texlive 2025, 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.

## a-Shell Reviews in Australien

### *---- "nothing works for me"
i tried to run a kivy program in python. installing kivy package with pip is ok. but running the program gives Permission error. the program runs ok with pycharm/vc code on macbook pro. the problem occurred when handling the following 

from kivy.app import App

a-shell also does not have a easy way to copy/paste between in ipad dir and a-shell dir
-- wil28$, 2024-10-07

### ****- "No rick roll"
Amazing app but I can’t use “curl ascii.live/rick” without internet
-- Daniel Maritz, 2024-06-17

### ***** "Excellent Tool Only One Issue"
This app is so useful and a good shell for iOS.
The only issue I have is sometimes when using the directional arrows and paste button it inserts weird characters like OA and OC OB or it inserts like [ and ~ when pressing paste which looks familiar to what happens when you use Ctrl V for paste instead of Ctrl Shift V in Linux which inserts weird sets of characters.
-- KaijaneDev, 2023-08-02

### ****- "Great terminal app"
Very versatile and powerful app
-- Toby Carson, 2023-05-08

### ***** "Amazing shell for iPad"
Very happy with this shell. Some hiccups are unavoidable but overall quite happy. I am trying to learn more command line stuff and my laptop recently gave up on me. This has been a lifesaver!!
-- GargGarg, 2023-04-23

### ***** "Definitely A best shell for iOS"
This app is amazing.
Best Python compiler among free apps.
-- Re:Sopmod, 2023-04-21

### ***** "Great for Python"
This is a great tool to run Python directly on your iPad. As long as the programs are text based and us standard libraries (sans tk) you can do a lot of stuff. Really very handy. Thanks for such a great tool.
-- Rodney Haywood, 2023-01-24

### ***** "Omg!!! REALLY???"
This app is truely amazing. The ios Shortcut support opens up a world of possibilities for me. Thank you so much!
-- Insomniac86, 2022-01-03

### ***** "Great!"
Good work. Gives the IPad another layer of productivity.
-- TTLExpired, 2021-02-16

### ***** "Decent Shell experience"
At last, a decent Shell for iOS!
-- Mindless100, 2020-11-09
