SwiftyTerminal: Terminal Shell

About

Learn Linux commands on your iPhone or iPad. SwiftyTerminal is a pocket shell where you can practice ls, grep, sed, awk, pipes and redirects, plus ping, nslookup and SSH. When you get stuck, ask the Command Copilot in plain English: describe what you want to do and get a real command you can run. Type ? followed by a task, like "? show hidden files", and the answer lands in the input line, ready to run or edit. Type explain before any command line and it is broken down piece by piece, so you learn as you go. On devices with Apple Intelligence the copilot runs on the on-device model. Everywhere else it answers from a built-in offline guide. Nothing you type leaves your device. COMMAND COPILOT - Plain English to a runnable command, checked against the commands this app actually has - Type explain before a command to decode pipes, options and redirects - Commands that delete or overwrite data are never run for you: they wait in the input line - Recent answers are saved so you can run them again - A searchable reference of every built-in command, with examples ASK FROM ANYWHERE - Shortcuts: Explain a Terminal Command, Suggest a Terminal Command, Run in Terminal, Open Command Copilot - Say "Explain grep in SwiftyTerminal" or "Ask SwiftyTerminal for a command" - Every command is searchable from Spotlight FILES AND TEXT List, create, copy, move and delete files and folders with ls, cd, mkdir, touch, cp, mv, rm and cat. Inspect with file, wc, head and tail. Search and process text with find, grep (-i -v -n -c), sort, uniq, sed and awk, plus pipes, redirects and glob patterns. NETWORK TOOLS ping, nslookup, curl, netcat and port scans for hosts you own, plus SSH sessions with remote commands and file transfer. SYSTEM AND SCRIPTING date, cal, uptime, df, uname, environment variables, aliases and history. A built-in mini Python and Lua interpreter for quick math and variables. A FRESH LOOK A hand-drawn design with living "thinking orb" animations, a Liquid Glass input bar, four terminal themes and adjustable text size. Reduce Motion calms every animation. SwiftyTerminal is a simulated terminal that runs entirely inside the app sandbox. It does not download or run external code. Who it's for: developers, students learning the command line, IT and network folks, and anyone curious about Unix commands.
