XTelnet

A focused SSH terminal for iPad with saved servers, split panes, host-key review, shortcut keys, and local-first privacy.

XTelnet is an iPad-first SSH terminal client for connecting to servers you own or are authorized to manage.

Designed for developers, administrators, and technical operators, XTelnet gives you a focused terminal workflow on iPad: save server profiles, connect with password authentication, review host-key fingerprints, and work in a clean terminal interface built for touch and hardware keyboards.

Key features:

• Saved SSH server profiles
• Password authentication
• SHA256 host-key fingerprint review
• Split terminal panes for parallel workflows
• Touch shortcut keys for Ctrl, Esc, Tab, arrows, navigation keys, symbols, and function keys
• Hardware keyboard shortcuts for splitting, closing, and switching panes
• Paste safety checks for multiline or long commands
• Adjustable terminal font size
• Light, dark, and system appearance settings

XTelnet is local-first. Server configuration is stored on device, password secrets are stored using Keychain-backed storage, and the app does not require an XTelnet account. XTelnet does not include tracking, advertising, or analytics.

Use XTelnet to manage remote shells, inspect logs, run maintenance commands, and keep multiple terminal panes visible while working from iPad.
