Five reasons developers switch to TermAI

AI Command Helper

Describe what you need. AI writes the command. You tap to run.

ShellMon

Auto-answers Y/n, blocks dangerous commands, pings you when long jobs finish.

Tailscale Built-in

Reach your tailnet without a separate VPN app. End-to-end encrypted.

SFTP File Manager

Browse, upload, edit remote files. No desktop switch.

Cloud Sync + Backup

SSH configs and AI chat history sync across devices. AES-256 encrypted, opt-in.

A live AI question mid-session — diagnosing a real connection error.

staging — docker compose
$ ssh staging
chenchen@staging:~$ docker compose logs --tail 50 api
api-1 | INFO Booting worker pid=18 on 0.0.0.0:8000
api-1 | INFO Loaded 42 routes in 0.18s
api-1 | INFO Connecting to postgres at db:5432 …
api-1 | ERROR could not connect: connection refused (db:5432)
api-1 | ERROR retrying in 2s (attempt 1/5)
api-1 | ERROR retrying in 2s (attempt 2/5)
api-1 | WARN pool exhausted, deferring requests
▸ Ask AI: "what does the connection refused error mean?"
⟶ The error indicates Postgres isn't accepting connections.
   Possible causes:
   1. Container not yet ready (try: docker compose ps)
   2. Wrong port mapping in compose file
   3. Postgres still starting up (wait 10s)
   Quick check: docker compose ps db
⏎ run check 📋 copy ✎ ask follow-up

What developers are saying

"Finally a mobile SSH app that doesn't feel like it was made for 2014. The AI command thing actually works."
— Reddit r/selfhosted
"ShellMon is the killer feature. I can run an apt upgrade and walk away — it answers the Y/n for me."
— V2EX user
"Built-in Tailscale on iOS is honestly the only reason I switched."
— HN comment

Frequently asked questions

Does TermAI store my SSH passwords or private keys?

No. Credentials are stored only in your device's hardware-encrypted keystore (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore). They never leave the device unless you explicitly enable encrypted cloud sync.

Is the AI seeing my server output?

Only the lines you choose to send. The AI helper is opt-in per question — your terminal session is not piped to any model by default.

Can I use my own OpenAI / Anthropic key?

Not on iOS due to App Store policy. On Android, you can configure an alternative endpoint in advanced settings.

Does it work in mainland China?

Yes for SSH/SFTP. The AI helper uses our routed proxy. Tailscale is disabled in the China build per local regulations.

Is there a desktop version?

Not yet. TermAI is mobile-first. The pocket form factor is the point.

What happens if I cancel Pro?

You revert to the Free tier limits. Your data and configs remain. No deletion, no penalty.
