Woohoo!Īs you can see there’s plenty to get started with, though a text editor and ssh would really take this app over the top. But unofficial or not, it is a command line, in iOS. Instead it’s the work of a crafty developer Louis D’hauwe who open sourced the project, found here on Github if you feel like digging around in the source code or building it yourself in Xcode to modify and sideload to an iOS device. Oh and this is probably worthwhile to clarify, but despite sharing the Terminal name with the native Mac app (Terminal.app found in /Applications/Utilities/ of MacOS), Terminal for iOS is not an official Apple release. Many of our command line tips are directly applicable and relevant for Terminal for iOS, including counting lines in files, downloading files with curl, checking device uptime, and much more, as long as it’s based on a command supported by the app. OpenTerminal for iOS currently supports for the following commands: As for the currently supported full commands list… Open Terminal for iOS Available Commands List ![]() Personally I’m hoping a future updated version of Terminal for iOS includes a text editor like nano, emacs, or vim, but even without one, it’s fun to use.

Terminal for iOS gets particularly interesting because you can interact with iCloud Drive from it, so you can make and modify directories and files on the fly, and if you split screen the Files app with Terminal app you can watch it all unfold. Because the command line is completely sandboxed, it can also offer a nice and relatively safe way for beginners and more novice users to explore the command line, since all of the commands included in Terminal for iOS will work in Terminal for MacOS, as well as other unix environments. We have the full supported commands list further below if you’re interested in this, as does the apps description in the iOS App Store. ![]() Optionally, you can Get OpenTerm from GitHub here and then side load the app onto iPhone or iPad with these instructions using Xcode and a Mac.ĭownload the app to your device, the icon looks much like the same-named app on the Mac, and launch it on your iPhone or iPad to have some fun.
