meshTerm SSH FTP via Tailscale

meshTerm 1.1 turns our Tailscale native SSH client into a complete remote workflow — move files, run servers, script repetitive commands, and jump between machines without ever leaving the app. Multi-Session Tabs Open as many SSH sessions as you need and flip between them instantly. A new session bar sits above your terminal so every connection is one tap away. Perfect for running a build on one host while tailing logs on another. SFTP File Browser (Pro) Browse, upload, download, rename, and delete files on any of your servers — no extra apps, no command line, no third-party cloud middleman. Full integration with the iOS Files app means you can drag documents straight from iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or your local device onto a remote machine, and pull files back the same way. Built on the same secure SSH transport as your terminal sessions. Terminal Macro Bar (Pro) A scrollable row of one-tap commands lives right above the keyboard. Add your own macros — git status, docker ps, tail a log, restart a service — and run them with a single tap. A full editor in Settings → Keyboard lets you add, edit, reorder, and restore defaults. Stop retyping the same commands a hundred times a day. Automatic tmux Sessions New hosts now attach to tmux by default, so your work survives dropped connections, closed tabs, and backgrounded apps. No tmux on the server? meshTerm falls back gracefully to a standard shell — you never have to think about it. Smarter Reconnection Lost Wi-Fi in an elevator? Switched from cellular to Wi-Fi? meshTerm now reconnects automatically when the network comes back or when you return to the app, picking up your tmux session exactly where you left off. A subtle "-- reconnected --" marker shows you when it happened. Hardware Keyboard Polish Connect a Magic Keyboard or Smart Folio and the on-screen accessory bar disappears automatically, giving you a full-screen terminal. Disconnect and it's back. No settings to toggle — it just works. Liquid Glass Design Onboarding, the session bar, and the lock screen have been refreshed with Apple's Liquid Glass material, bringing meshTerm in line with the latest iOS design language. Cleaner, deeper, and right at home on iPhone and iPad. Quality of Life A new "Hide Keyboard" button in the toolbar for when you just need to read, and countless small fixes across the terminal, settings, and onboarding flows. Thanks for using meshTerm. If you're enjoying the app, a rating on the App Store goes a long way.

What's New in meshTerm 1.1.1 A focused refinement release. Your Keyboard, Your Way The on-screen accessory row is now fully meshTerm's. Every key it emits — Esc, Tab, arrows, function keys, the shell-critical symbols iOS buries three layers deep like `|`, `\`, `` ` ``, `~`, `{ }`, `[ ]` — sends exactly the right xterm byte sequences. A new Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Layout editor lets you drag-reorder the top row and move any key between the top row and the drawer. Defaults are picked to get out of your way; tune them when you're ready. Bigger Buttons on Tap A Button Size stepper in Settings scales the whole accessory — top row, drawer, macros — from 32 to 56 points. Thumb-friendly on iPhone, more breathing room on iPad, same keys either way. Your Sessions Come Back tmux-backed sessions now survive a cold launch. Quit meshTerm, come back an hour later, and the hosts you were on reopen automatically — your shell state intact, thanks to tmux re-attach. Toggleable in Settings if you'd rather start fresh. Quieter Reconnection Switching between tabs now silently reconnects any session that looks stale — a dropped socket you haven't noticed, a `.ready` connection that stopped responding. Healthy sessions aren't touched; there's a short cooldown so rapid tab-flipping doesn't thrash the network. Drawer That Stays Out of the Way The new key drawer slides up with your symbols and function keys and slides cleanly back — no ghost overlap with the terminal output when you close it. Tidier Settings The SSH Keys section now collapses to a single row showing how many keys you have. Tap to expand when you need to copy a public key or add a new one. Spanish Translations Every new string in 1.1.1 — keyboard controls, layout editor, session restore copy — is available in Spanish from day one.

The biggest release since launch. v1.1.2 turns meshTerm from "an SSH terminal that runs on iOS" into something that knows your hosts, your habits, and your keys, without ever sending a byte off the device. A New Home Screen Three Liquid Glass tabs along the bottom: Hosts for your connections, Activity for a cross-host event feed, Settings where it always was. The gear icon is one tap from anywhere now. Secret Macros Macros now have a type. Echo macros work as before: type the value, tap the button, bytes go to the shell. Secret macros store the value in the iOS Keychain instead of plaintext, with an optional Require Face ID toggle for the ones that send sudo passwords or production credentials. Tap, Face ID, paste, and the password never leaves your device's secure enclave. Secret Snippets The same trust model in the Snippet Vault. Mark a snippet as Secret, optionally gate it with Face ID. Stored in the iOS Keychain alongside the macro values, never in UserDefaults. Fill from Password Manager The secret-macro and secret-snippet editors gain a Fill from Password Manager button. Tap, and iOS shows the system password picker (iCloud Keychain, 1Password, Bitwarden, Dashlane, whatever you have configured); pick, and the value lands in the editor's value field. Save once, use forever from a Face-ID-gated macro tap. Per-Host Observability Every host you connect to gets its own detail screen: connection history, reliability stats, average network and SSH handshake latency, reconnect counts, SFTP transfer totals, and a 7-day connection sparkline. All metadata-only, all on-device, all wipeable. Long-press any host to find it. Activity Feed The new Activity tab streams the last 30 events across all your hosts in one glass-chip timeline. Each row is colour-coded with the host's identity hue, gets the event glyph, shows when and what: connect, disconnect, reconnect, SFTP upload/download with a byte bar. Tap a row to jump straight into that host's detail screen. Privacy posture is unchanged. Nothing leaves the device. Nothing logs command content, terminal output, or filenames. The store keeps a rolling 30-day window and clears on demand from a single button in Settings, Privacy. Known-Hosts Overhaul The Known Hosts list now shows the key type alongside the SHA256 fingerprint and the date you trusted it. New Import and Export entries on the toolbar round-trip OpenSSH-format known_hosts files via the Files app, so you can seed your iPhone trust list from your desktop, or back it up. The bigger fix: the silent reject when a host's key changes is gone. When meshTerm sees a different key than the one you previously trusted, you now get a three-button sheet: Update Stored Key & Connect (when the server's key was legitimately rotated), Connect Once Without Saving (one-shot trust, no persistence), or Cancel. Either way, the audit trail in observability records the mismatch. Smoother tmux Scrolling The contentOffset veto in the terminal view was letting programmatic scroll-to-bottom calls slip through during tmux mouse-mode wheel events, producing visible stutter. The veto is now unconditional during mouse mode, so scroll gestures route into tmux's copy-mode without the jitter. Connect-Time Crash Fixed A startup race where the SwiftTerm UIScrollView's contentOffset setter was called before the terminal was constructed. Deferred behind a layout-ready flag. Spanish Translations Every new label, alert, dialog, and helper line (host detail stats, secret-macro editor, known-hosts import/export receipts, mismatch sheet, ⌘, hardware-keyboard help, secret-credential prompts) translated to Spanish for day-one parity.

Better tmux Workflow A new Sessions sheet lists every live tmux session on a host with one-tap attach, rename, and prune. Connection tab chips show the tmux session name when one's set, so you can tell `dev` from `logs` at a glance instead of staring at three identical hostnames. Keyboard Polish A new Shift modifier on the custom key row gives you proper paired-character access without juggling a separate shift key. ⌘, on a hardware keyboard now jumps you to Settings (matches the macOS convention). ⌘K does a full terminal clear, and we squashed the scroll jitter that occasionally happened when tmux redraws collided with the keyboard.
