## Description

**Secure Terminal** is a feature-rich SSH client for iPhone and iPad, designed for securely managing remote servers from anywhere. Connect using passwords, OpenSSH or PuTTY keys, SSH Agent, FIDO keys, or Secure Enclave keys, with support for RSA, DSA, ECDSA, and Ed25519 authentication.

The app provides full `xterm-256color` terminal emulation, Telnet connections, SSH proxy support, customizable colors and fonts, external keyboard and mouse support, and secure Keychain storage for connection details.

On iPad, Pro users can also access XWindow support. Secure Terminal is suited for developers, system administrators, IT professionals, and anyone who needs secure mobile access to SSH servers.

## Review summary

Overall, Secure Terminal is praised for its strong value (one-time price), cross-device SSH with file transfer and a file manager, and a privacy-conscious design.
