Features

• iOS - A full-featured terminal emulator for iOS that runs local shell commands and connects to remote servers.
• SSH and Telnet Clients - Connects to remote servers via SSH and Mosh from an iOS device for secure command-line access.
• Session Switchers - Manages multiple terminal sessions with swipe, tap, and slide gestures for creation and closure.
• Mosh - A mobile terminal client using the Mosh protocol for persistent, low-latency remote connections.
• Shell Command Execution - Runs Unix commands directly on the iOS device for file operations without remote server dependency.
• Session Switchers - Switches between active terminal sessions using side-to-side swipe gestures without leaving the keyboard.
• Mosh Protocol Connections - Blink Shell establishes a Mosh session over UDP after SSH authentication, supporting custom ports and configurable port ranges for firewall compatibility.
• SOCKS5 Servers - Establishes dynamic SSH tunnels using the SOCKS5 protocol for secure traffic routing through remote servers.
• Remote Access Connectivity - Blink Shell keeps terminal sessions alive across network changes and device sleep using Mosh, so work continues without reconnecting.
• High-Speed Renderers - Displays server output with sub-second latency using Chromium's HTerm for immediate scrollback rendering.
• Network Session Persisters - Maintains terminal sessions across network changes using UDP-based state synchronization via Mosh.
• iOS SSH Clients - A terminal emulator and SSH client for iOS with hardware keyboard support and session management.
• SSH Connection Managers - Blink Shell connects to a remote server using the SSH protocol by typing a hostname or IP address.
• SSH Key Management - Manages RSA encryption keys stored locally and synced via iCloud for password-less SSH access.
• Remote Server Connectivities - Blink Shell establishes encrypted shell connections to remote servers using the SSH protocol for secure command-line access.
• Mosh Connections - Blink Shell connects to a remote server using the Mosh protocol for stable, always-on sessions.
• High-Speed Renderers - Renders terminal output instantly using Chromium's HTerm engine for sub-second display of large scrollbacks.
• Terminal Rendering Engines - Ships a Chromium-based terminal rendering engine for sub-second display of remote output.
• Terminal and Shell Utilities - Executes common Unix commands like ls, cp, grep, and tar directly on the iOS device for file operations.
• Remote Directory Symlinks - Provides persistent symlinks to remote directories and external app folders for seamless shell navigation.
• SSH Directory Syncs - Blink Shell compares timestamps between local and remote folders and transfers only changed files to keep them in sync.
• Remote Editing Tools - Blink Shell opens and edits files on a remote server through the Blink File System, treating them as if they were local.
• Remote File Management - Browses, edits, and transfers files between iOS and remote servers using scp, sftp, and the Blink File System.
• Remote File Transfers - Blink Shell uploads and downloads files between the device and a remote server using scp or sftp with wildcard support.
• Command-Line File Transfers - Blink Shell uploads and downloads files to and from remote servers using curl, scp, and sftp commands with SSH key authentication.
• Terminal Command Snippets - Stores and retrieves reusable command snippets with template variable substitution and fuzzy search.
• Text Snippet Managers - Saves frequently used commands and text snippets for retrieval and execution without retyping.
• Hetzner VPS Provisioners - Creates a virtual private server on Hetzner's cloud platform and configures it for SSH access.
• Digital Ocean Droplet Provisioners - Walks through provisioning a cloud server with a chosen Linux distribution, plan, and datacenter location.
• Mosh Server Installers - Blink Shell automatically installs the Mosh server on a remote machine without requiring root access, simplifying the setup process.
• Keyboard Key Mappings - Blink Shell maps hardware keyboard keys like Caps Lock to ESC or CTRL per editor preference, supporting Vim, Emacs, and other workflows.
• Single Key Remappers - Maps single key presses to send different characters or sequences like Esc or missing function keys.
• System Proxy Configurators - Configures iOS system-wide Wi-Fi proxy settings to route traffic through a SOCKS5 tunnel.
• Network Troubleshooting Tools - Blink Shell pings hosts, resolves DNS with dig and nslookup, and tests ports with netcat to troubleshoot connectivity.
• Tailscale VPN Connections - Blink Shell establishes SSH and Mosh connections to any machine in a Tailscale network using the tailnet identity for seamless authentication.
• Saved Host Configurations - Blink Shell stores a remote host's connection details so you can reconnect without typing the address each time and access its file system from the Files app.
• Input Latency Reduction - Blink Shell reduces perceived input lag by predicting local echo to display keystroke results immediately on high-latency connections.
• Terminal Customization - Applies custom fonts, Powerline variants, and themes to personalize the terminal visual appearance.
• WebAuthn Hardware Key Authentications - Authenticates SSH sessions using external USB-C or NFC security keys validated by iOS biometrics.
• Hardware Security Key Authentications - Blink Shell creates and uses an external USB-C or NFC security key for hardware-backed SSH authentication.
• Device-Stored Passkey Authentications - Blink Shell creates and uses device-stored WebAuthn keys validated by iOS biometrics or device presence for SSH login.
• Mosh Protocol Upgrades - Blink Shell replaces an SSH connection with the more stable, responsive Mosh protocol to eliminate lag and disconnections on mobile devices.
• Tunneled - Blink Shell routes a Mosh connection through an existing SSH tunnel by mapping a remote port to localhost, enabling access through bastion hosts.
• Virtual Private Server Management - Creates and configures virtual private servers on Digital Ocean, Hetzner, and AWS from a mobile terminal.
• Keyboard Shortcuts - Maps keyboard keys to custom actions and applies user-defined themes and fonts to the terminal.
• Gesture Navigation - Implements swipe, pinch, and tap gestures for switching between multiple terminal sessions.
• Keybinding Modifier Configurators - Assigns modifier keys like Caps or Cmd to send Ctrl, Alt, or Esc with separate left/right configuration.
• Command Snippet Browsers - Saves and reuses frequently used commands as snippets with template tags and fuzzy search for quick execution.
• Terminal Emulators - Mosh-based mobile shell client for iOS.
