If you know what you do you can really do lots of things with the app. It is real Linux without emulation. I would say that X11 server would be really interesting to use on iPhone with that environment.

It’s just Alpine Linux in an app. Supports everything from the APK package manager, and feels good to use. What more could you want out of a shell?

The app is very slow and dysfunctional. Please update it!

Pleasantly surprised, it's extremely lightweight and surprisingly works better than I expected. Definitely the best shell for IOS.

Actually it is the best way to run any kind of Linux on mobile platforms nowadays. I am comparing it not only to other solutions on IOS but also on Android where it is possible to create some good environment but it reaches to limits. Thank you man! Hope you will continue developing it.

The app was amazing but anytime I tried to install a package it would get hung up.

Open source, clean minimal app. Don’t forget to apk add openssh beforehand

It’s exactly the same as a regular arm based alpine, without gui off course. Programs run fine and compiling programs not in the repo works as well!
