Amethyst
Your terminal, everywhere.
Amethyst is an iOS SSH terminal built for developers who run real workflows from their phone. Connect to your Mac, Linux box, or cloud server, run Claude Code or Codex, and keep momentum with a keyboard row and command palette designed for heavy terminal use.
Six essentials for mobile SSH workflows
Smart Server Setup
Find servers on your Wi-Fi, add them manually, or import configs quickly so first connection takes minutes, not hours.
Secure SSH Authentication
Use password login or generate SSH keys directly in the app. Private keys stay in iOS Keychain and never leave your device.
True Terminal Rendering
24-bit color, ANSI support, Unicode compatibility, and deep scrollback make Amethyst feel like a desktop terminal on iPhone.
Custom Keyboard Row
Esc, Ctrl, arrows, symbols, and hold-to-repeat keys remove iOS keyboard friction so shell workflows stay fast.
Command Palette
Launch common commands like `claude`, `codex`, and git actions from a swipe-up panel with quick chips and pinned favorites.
Auto-Reconnect + tmux
When connections drop, Amethyst retries automatically and reattaches your tmux workflow so long-running sessions survive network changes.
