This is amazing! – Termius: Terminal & SSH client Review

I bit the bullet and got a subscription. I’m not a huge fan of subscription-based software, but in this case the developers really go out of their way to make a very streamlined app. I no longer have to make encryption keys on every device. I can generate keys in the app and it even uploads the public key for you. It then synchronizes all the keys on all of your Termius apps across phones, tablets, and multiple operating systems on computers. If I need to hop through multiple servers to get around a firewall, it can handle that, too, with host chaining, which is a royal pain to to do manually with the ssh command. File transfers with SFTP is a breeze, too. Everything just...works. And for how many devices I manage, it’s a no-brainer. Then, bonus, you can add snippets of code to launch on connection. My most used one will fire up a tmux session on the servers I have it installed on, or automatically reconnect to the last open tmux session. Log in, boom, back at the prompt. Coupled with mosh, it’s a virtually indestructible session that would otherwise take a lot of commands to launch every time. My only complaint is, unless you use a custom snippet each time, you cannot use mosh to access the first server in the chain if you have host chaining. I want my mobile devices to use mosh, but if I have to hop through another server to get to the final server, I’d rather the middle server accept mosh from my iPad, for example, then if it uses plain SSH to get to the final server over a more reliable connection, that’d be ideal. But, tmux still helps because it will handle a dropped connection. I have to make myself use the advanced features of SSH/SCP manually on occasion so I don’t forget them because this app will makes it really easy to forget how it all works.
