THE #1 SSH CLIENT FOR iOS β POWERFUL FEATURES, EASY-TO-USE. AND NOW ON MAC.
Prompt is the terminal that goes where you do, whether you’re on the road or at your desk. With Panic Sync, your servers are available on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. And with Mosh and Eternal Terminal support, you can stay connected even on the most unstable networks.
Welcome to Prompt 3. For over a decade, Prompt has been the best SSH terminal on iOS and iPadOS, and we’re excited to finally release a much-requested Mac version. But that’s not all. With two new connection types, port forwarding, and a faster terminal, Prompt is better than ever.
π Superfast SSH
We retooled the text engine in Prompt 3 to be up to 10x faster, and with improved terminal emulation, you can run nvim inside tmux without breaking a sweat.
ποΈ Clips
Put your most-used commands and text bits into clips and access them with a single tap via Promptβs keyboard bar. Clips can be stored globally or per-server.
π Secure Enclave
Authenticate with FaceID and TouchID. The keys will stay secure on your device.
π Panic Sync
Sync your favorite servers, passwords, private keys, and clips, between Prompt on all of your iOS devices.
π¨ Customizable
Make Prompt perfect with new themes, fonts, and a very configurable iOS keyboard.
β« Jump Hosts and Agent Forwarding

π€ Mosh and Eternal Terminal
Keep your terminal open, even when you get disconnected. Mosh is optimized for high-latency, low-throughput networks. Eternal Terminal is great for when you need to keep your full terminal history on a flaky connection.
π±οΈ Mouse Support
Use your mouse to interact with TUI-based apps that run through the terminal.
