This is amazing. I've been dreaming of something like this forever for the iPhone. iOS restrictions are probably never going to be lifted, however.

I get by with Panic's Coda terminal, which is great, but even though I have multiple remote servers, sometimes I'd like to run something on my local network, like ping, wireshark, etc

Running mutt as a local mail client would be nice as well




I'm currently developing something like this for iOS, and I hope to have a basic proof of concept in the app store by the end of the year. https://github.com/tbodt/ish


Nice Theodore, best of luck!


There's someone working towards this as part of the Blink app for iOS: https://github.com/blinksh/blink/pull/281

I could see this getting onto the app store eventually.


Didn't know about blink, thanks. They get around the “no forking” limitation by turning everything into a function, it seems. Running CoreUtil is what I wanted, a port of BusyBox, basically.
