Features — what Aburi Term does, and on which devices

SSH

Sign in with a password or a key. Jump through a bastion host with ProxyJump.

All

Mosh

Keeps the session when the network changes. You see one banner, “Network changed”, and carry on typing.

All

SFTP

Browse, upload and download files on a host. On iPhone, swipe left on a host to open its files.

All

Tunnels

Local and dynamic port forwards.

All

Reconnect

SSH tries again 5 times, waiting 2, 4, 8, 16 and 30 seconds. Keys you type meanwhile are held and sent when it is back.

All

Failure messages

Connecting has four steps: route, host key, sign-in, attach. A failure names the step it stopped at.

All

Import hosts

Bring in the hosts from your ~/.ssh/config. The direct download reads it for you; the App Store versions ask you to pick the file.

All

Native tmux tabs

tmux windows appear as real tabs under the pane. On iPhone, a two-finger swipe switches window.

All

Zellij

Zellij sessions and their layouts are kept as bookmarks, as tmux sessions are.

All

Split panes

Split with ⌘D. Move between panes with ⌘[ and ⌘]. A pane never gets narrower than 40 columns; a split that would do that opens as a tab.

Mac, iPad

Broadcast

Type into every pane of a tab at once with ⌥⌘I. Every pane shows a chip while it is on, and you are asked first if a production pane is included.

Mac

Local terminal

A terminal on the Mac itself with your own shell, Homebrew tools, git and local tmux.

Mac (direct)

Quick terminal

A terminal that drops in over any app with ⌃⌥⌘T.

Mac

Command palette

Every action, host and snippet from the keyboard, with ⇧⌘P on the Mac.

Mac, iPad

Zen mode

Hides the sidebar, the tabs and the footer, so the panes take the whole window. ⌃⌘Z.

Mac

Key vault

Private keys and passwords live in the Keychain.

All

Secure Enclave keys

Make a key the device’s secure chip holds. It signs with Face ID or Touch ID and cannot be copied off the device.

All

First connection

A new host shows its key fingerprint before anything is sent.

All

Changed host key

A full-screen warning whose safe button is the main one. Trusting the new key takes Face ID, and on production you also type the hostname.

All

Audit log

A replaced host key is kept in the log with the date and the device.

All

Vault lock

The vault locks after 5 minutes in the background, and the app switcher shows the lock screen, not your terminal.

iPhone, iPad

In the terminal

The request shows in the pane that asked, with the command on one line and the folder it will run in.

All

Three scopes

Once, for this session, or always for that exact command in that exact folder. Production hosts allow Once only.

All

Undo

“Always” rules are listed in Settings › Agents, where you can remove them.

All

Order

Production requests come first, then the oldest. Only the top request has the filled button.

All

While you type

A request never takes focus from your typing. It shows as a pill, then folds into a badge.

All

Lock Screen

One Live Activity covers every agent. Allowing from the Lock Screen needs Face ID.

iPhone, iPad

Agent icons

Each agent’s icon on its tab and in the sidebar shows whether it is working, needs you, failed or has finished. Each state can take your colour.

Mac

Agents on this Mac

Approve AI agents that run on the Mac itself.

Mac (direct)

Themes

231 built-in themes. Add your own Ghostty, iTerm2 or Aburi Term theme file.

All

Window matches theme

The sidebar, tabs and footer take the theme’s colours. Off, only the terminal changes.

Mac

Window profiles

Each profile sets which side the sidebar is on, its own theme, font and size, and a colour for the top bar, the footer and the sidebar.

Mac

Accent and border

Pick the accent colour, and the colour and thickness of the border around the terminal you are typing in.

Mac

Extra key row

esc, tab, ctrl, alt, the arrows and | / ~ [ ] above the keyboard. Add, remove and reorder up to 20 keys.

iPhone, iPad

Sticky modifiers

ctrl and alt hold for the next key. ctrl-[ sends Escape. alt with an arrow jumps a word.

iPhone, iPad

Pinch to zoom

Pinch to change the terminal text size. The column count shows while you resize.

iPhone, iPad

Hardware keyboards

Sidebar and panes on iPad, with ⌘D and ⌘[ ⌘] as on the Mac.

iPad

Text selection

Selected text is stored as terminal cells, so it stays put when the screen rotates or resizes.

iPhone, iPad

VoiceOver

New output is announced as “N new lines”, at most once every 2 seconds. A rotor item jumps between prompts. Approvals are announced once, with Allow and Deny as actions.

All

Text size

The interface follows Dynamic Type up to the largest accessibility size.

iPhone, iPad

Reduce Motion

The cursor stops blinking, status dots stop pulsing, and transitions become short cross-fades.

All

Readable colour

Terminal text that is too faint against the background is lightened or darkened until it reaches 4.5:1. You can turn this off.

All

Keyboard

Every control on the Mac can be reached from the keyboard and shows a focus ring.

Mac

Status labels

Every status colour comes with a word or an icon.
