Software Features and Description

1. a-shell uses iOS 13+ “multiple windows” ability, so you can run multiple shells at the same time, with different commands, in different directories.

2. a-Shell is a complete local terminal emulator, allowing to run most Unix commands on you iOS device.

3. a-Shell includes Python, Lua, Perl, JavaScript, C, C++ for programming and TeX (texlive 2022, with Tikz and LuaTeX) for text processing.

4. There are also multiple network utilities: nslookup, ping, whois, ifconfig... Type help for help, help -l to get the full list of commands.

5. Compile your C or C++ programs to webAssembly using clang or clang++, and execute the resulting binary.

6. 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.

7. You can transfer files using scp and curl, edit them with vim and ed, process them using grep, awk and sed.

8. You can edit a file in one window with vim and process it in the other with python.

9. a-Shell is the complete version.

10. A complete webAssembly SDK is included (WASI-libc).

  • Possible iCloud issue

    By Grue (Pcmac user)

    I see the setting to save documents to iCloud, but in the Files app, the folder is still under "on my phone". I was hoping this could be a way to store my config files such as .vimrc on iCloud to avoid using iTunes file transfer.
  • Shows promise but needs work

    By knmorgan (Pcmac user)

    Downloaded the app, ssh’d somewhere, and the app seemingly froze. Closed the app and re-opened and it was back, but the cursor was all over the place and make it very difficult to tell what was going on. Some tools have full versions (e.g. full-blown BSD grep is available, though I’d prefer GNU), and others are seemingly partially-implemented copycats (e.g. ssh). The shell itself isn’t even close to compatible with bash; basic things like variables, string interpolation, and if/for/while/etc do not exist. I was hoping to find a decent terminal emulator I could use for work. Unfortunately, this is not it.
  • Really shines with integrated SSH client

    By Alderem (Pcmac user)

    While the ability to navigate around the iOS file system is novel, what I really like is the simple integration of SSH into a-Shell. I can remote login to my home server seamlessly. And a-Shell supplements my keyboard with crucial-to-terminal keys that Apple doesn’t provide: Tab, Control, and Esc.
  • Simply Awesome!

    By The Geek on Skates (Pcmac user)

    This is exactly what I was looking for (and trying to build as a web app lol). I finally have a use for my iPad !! lol Seriously tho, this is the coolest app to hit the App Store since Pythonista! I’m gonna build so much cool stuff to run on this. 🤓❤️ this 💻 !!!! Yes it has its stupid and unnecessary restrictions, but IMO that’s just Apple being Apple. Not the developer’s fault lol. This is the closest I’ve ever seen to a real computer on iOS. It’s totally amazing and u gotta try it.
