What it does
-
1.
Generate modern SSH keys on-device Ed25519 and ECDSA, kept in the Keychain behind Face ID / Touch ID. Keys never leave the device.
-
2.
Copy a key to a server A guided ssh-copy-id flow — connects with a password once, installs your public key, then confirms it actually works.
-
3.
Open a real terminal Full PTY support for curses apps like vim, tmux, and htop — green phosphor or amber CRT, your choice.
-
4.
Optionally upgrade to Mosh Survives a dropped Wi-Fi connection or switching networks entirely, with predictive local echo for snappy typing over high-latency links.
What it does not
-
—
No AI assistant No chatbot summarizing your terminal, no LLM in the loop. Just you and the shell.
-
—
No proxying your connections SSH and Mosh traffic goes straight from your device to your server. Nothing routes through smerwin.com's servers.
-
—
No account or cloud sync No sign-up, no server-side account holding your hosts and keys. Everything lives on your device.
-
—
No telemetry on your terminal activity What you type and see in a session stays local. It's not logged, uploaded, or analyzed.
Pricing
Free: one host, one key. A one-time $9.99 in-app purchase (or $0.99/month, if you'd rather support ongoing development) unlocks unlimited hosts and keys.
