THE #1 SSH CLIENT FOR iOS β€” POWERFUL FEATURES, EASY-TO-USE. AND NOW ON MAC.


Prompt is the terminal that goes where you do, whether you’re on the road or at your desk. With Panic Sync, your servers are available on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. And with Mosh and Eternal Terminal support, you can stay connected even on the most unstable networks.

Welcome to Prompt 3. For over a decade, Prompt has been the best SSH terminal on iOS and iPadOS, and we’re excited to finally release a much-requested Mac version. But that’s not all. With two new connection types, port forwarding, and a faster terminal, Prompt is better than ever.



πŸ‡ Superfast SSH

We retooled the text engine in Prompt 3 to be up to 10x faster, and with improved terminal emulation, you can run nvim inside tmux without breaking a sweat.

πŸ–‡οΈ Clips

Put your most-used commands and text bits into clips and access them with a single tap via Prompt’s keyboard bar. Clips can be stored globally or per-server.

πŸ” Secure Enclave

Authenticate with FaceID and TouchID. The keys will stay secure on your device.

πŸ” Panic Sync

Sync your favorite servers, passwords, private keys, and clips, between Prompt on all of your iOS devices.

🎨 Customizable

Make Prompt perfect with new themes, fonts, and a very configurable iOS keyboard.

⏫ Jump Hosts and Agent Forwarding

Access corporate servers, even at the beach.

🀝 Mosh and Eternal Terminal

Keep your terminal open, even when you get disconnected. Mosh is optimized for high-latency, low-throughput networks. Eternal Terminal is great for when you need to keep your full terminal history on a flaky connection.

πŸ–±οΈ Mouse Support

Use your mouse to interact with TUI-based apps that run through the terminal.

…AND YES, A DARK ICON! 😎

TAKE CONTROL FROM ANYWHERE, NOW INCLUDING YOUR MAC.

WE HOPE YOU ENJOY PROMPT 3.
