Terminus for Android

1.0.0

Terminus for Android: your servers on tablet and phone — SSH terminal with Ctrl, Esc and arrow keys, host state, Docker, services and network tools.

A real Android app, made for the tablet in landscape and portrait, with the same logic as Terminus for Mac and DSM.

The SSH key is created on the device and never leaves it; passwords are encrypted with the Android Keystore.

Six languages: French, Dutch, German, English, Russian and Spanish.

Features

Board

The whole fleet on one screen

Every host with its state, CPU, graphics card, memory, disks, Docker and uptime; problems rise to the top.

Terminal

SSH in tabs

Several terminals at once, tmux sessions that survive a dropped connection, reusable command snippets.

Docker

Containers and services

Start, stop, restart, read the logs, open a shell; systemd services with journal and restart.

Network

Built-in tools

Devices on the local network with their name and maker, port scan, ping, DNS lookups.

Key

Key-based login

Terminus creates its own ed25519 key and installs it on the host; the password is needed only once.

Privacy

Nothing leaves

No account, no cloud, no telemetry: only SSH connections to your own servers.

What’s new

Version 1.0.0, 29 October 2026

First release.

Installation

1
Download
Get the .apk file below on the tablet or phone.
2
Allow the install
Android asks to allow installs from the browser or file manager: allow it for this file.
3
Add your servers
Add a host with its password: Terminus installs its key there.

Questions and answers

Why a notification?

While a terminal is open, Terminus keeps a service running; without it Android freezes the app and SSH drops.

No maker in the scan?

Since Android 10 apps can no longer read the ARP table; device names are still shown.

Which devices?

Android 8.0 or later, phones and tablets.

How do I check the downloaded file?

In Terminal, run the command below and compare the result with the SHA-256 fingerprint on the right. If a single character differs, do not open the file and write to us.
