About

A mobile SSH terminal,
built by people who use it every day.

TermAI is an independent product. We build the tools we want for our own on-call rotations and side projects, then ship them.

Why mobile SSH

The desktop has good SSH clients. Your phone has not — until recently. But on-call doesn't wait for you to get to a laptop, and side-project servers need attention from wherever you are.

We started TermAI because we kept hitting the same wall: the existing mobile SSH apps treat mobile as a smaller desktop. The interaction model doesn't fit a thumb on a 6-inch screen. The AI assistants that everyone else has on the desktop aren't there when you're in the kitchen with a Slack alert.

Mobile-first means designing for one hand, one tab open, two minutes of attention. We make that work.

What we believe

Your keys stay on your device.

SSH private keys and passwords are stored in the iOS Keychain or Android Keystore — the hardware-backed secure enclave. They never leave the device. Cloud sync, if you opt in, encrypts everything client-side with AES-256.

AI assists, doesn't act.

The AI helper suggests a command. You decide whether to run it. There is no auto-execute, no "let the agent fix it for you." You stay in control of every keystroke that hits your server.

Fair pricing, predictable bills.

$2.99/month for Pro. No usage-based AI fees that surprise you. No data resale. The free tier is generous enough that you can decide for yourself whether Pro is worth it.

The team

TermAI is built by a small, independent team led by Chen Chen (founder). We respond directly to feedback — there is no support tier between you and the people writing the code.

If you have a question, a bug report, or just want to say hi: [email protected].

Who publishes this site

The termai.sh website and web services are operated by Tapilot LLC, Wyoming, USA. TermAI’s product team publishes these guides, so comparisons involving TermAI reflect that relationship.

How we write and update content

We use AI to assist with some drafts. Tutorials should describe concrete steps and their limits. A demonstration is an example unless it includes an identified device, app version, test procedure and result. Product features and competitor offers can change; use linked official sources and the current app or store listing before making a purchase.

If a step is wrong, a link is broken or a feature has changed, send the page address, app version and what you observed. Do not include passwords or private keys.
