This is about the only app in thousands of things that actually works I use this with a ios Shortcut and works perfectly. Useful This is about the only app in thousands of things that actually works I use this with a ios Shortcut and works perfectly.
Ive tried a bunch of different shell apps. And everyone of them is clunky and gathering your network data and shoving adds in your face This app does whats its supposed to do very efficiently and the gui is great. I can connect to other machines with great ease. its easy to type of and use the arrow keys. This is a big plus. Thanks to the dev for making something that works.

i use this all the time, mostly for git. lightweight and super easy to use. occasionally forgets your shortcuts for mounted folders but that's really whatever, they're easy to re-add. thanks for creating & maintaining this app awesome i use this all the time, mostly for git. lightweight and super easy to use. occasionally forgets your shortcuts for mounted folders but that's really whatever, they're easy to re-add. thanks for creating & maintaining this app
I find this app very useful for core operations like SSH to servers for management, pinging devices on the network, plus finding uptime on my iPhone, ifconfig info, etc. There’s a lot of functionality built into this pared down version of its sister app, a-Shell (the full featured app). a-Shell Mini omits all the Python and other scripting libraries in favor of a smaller footprint, which is fine by for my needs. Again, if you want to do development, go for the full version. Otherwise, I find a very useful tool in my IT toolbox.
