What is A-Shell? Description of A-Shell 1370 chars
a-Shell is a complete local terminal emulator, allowing to run most Unix commands on you iOS device. You can transfer files using scp and curl, edit them with vim and ed, process them using grep, awk and sed. You can work with git repositories using lg2.
Most commands are compiled for iOS native Arm64 format, making them fast and well integrated with iOS underlying BSD Unix.
a-Shell includes Python, Lua, Perl, JavaScript, C, C++ for programming and TeX (texlive 2023, with Tikz and LuaTeX) for text processing.
There are also multiple network utilities: nslookup, ping, whois, ifconfig... Type help for help, help -l to get the full list of commands.
a-Shell can be controlled from Shortcuts: run commands in order, process files in a-Shell, get the results as text or files, transfer files to other apps...
a-shell uses iOS 13+ “multiple windows” ability, so you can run multiple shells at the same time, with different commands, in different directories. You can edit a file in one window with vim and process it in the other with python.
Compile your C or C++ programs to webAssembly using clang or clang++, and execute the resulting binary. A complete webAssembly SDK is included (WASI-libc).
a-Shell is the complete version. If you need a smaller app, and you don't need a C compiler, a TeX engine, or numpy and matplotlib, there is a-Shell mini.

A-Shell Pros
✓ An Amazing AssetA-Shell is an amazing asset for the iPadOS/iOS ecosystem. A fast, feature rich terminal, full python (including modules) and vim support (including plugins), symbolic linking from iCloud files to on-device locations, curl, and much more, it makes the iPad a full computing environment. Thank you for spending what must be many hours on this, and know that this app is used daily..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Omg!!! REALLY???This app is truely amazing. The ios Shortcut support opens up a world of possibilities for me. Thank you so much!.Version: 1.8.1
✓ A-Shell Positive ReviewsA-Shell Cons
✗ Shows promise but needs workDownloaded the app, ssh’d somewhere, and the app seemingly froze. Closed the app and re-opened and it was back, but the cursor was all over the place and make it very difficult to tell what was going on. Some tools have full versions (e.g. full-blown BSD grep is available, though I’d prefer GNU), and others are seemingly partially-implemented copycats (e.g. ssh). The shell itself isn’t even close to compatible with bash; basic things like variables, string interpolation, and if/for/while/etc do not exist. I was hoping to find a decent terminal emulator I could use for work. Unfortunately, this is not it..Version: 1.5.0
✗ Seems like just a scam app and a lot of disappointmentIt sure promises a LOT of features I need, but I guess I’ll stick with the Alpine Linux container in iSH, cuz this app won’t even recognize my text inputs. I am not an iOS noob, and my day, I am a systems engineer for a network video company. I NEED these utilities on my iPhone, but not a single item can be used in the full @-shell and the mini is incapable of doing anything from inside the container where it exists. I couldn’t even run a simple SCP, rsync, or even ssh session to try and move files from a remote server. If this app isn’t a scam, it needs a lot of work, cuz I have worked through a whole week worth of remedy attempts, and have tried to reboot, reinstall, even factory reset and restored my iPhone from DFU mode (you read that correctly, I need this badly enough that I went scorched earth and started from scratch, and STILL cannot get this app to respond to my iPhone 13 Pro text inputs from any of my 3 keyboards) 🤦♂️ Fix it and I’ll fix my review. PLEASE!!!!.Version: 1.11.1
