Outrigger SSH Makes the iPhone Terminal Less Miserable
A minimalist iPhone SSH client with an edge-mounted key rail, gesture-based history and scrolling, automatic reconnection, and Secure Enclave-backed keys.
Field notes
Outrigger’s interface centers on a configurable screen-edge rail for terminal keys that iPhone keyboards bury, plus a drag gesture that switches between command history and scrollback. The site says one connection can hold up to eight shells and that host fingerprints are pinned after first approval. Its security model uses a non-exportable P-256 Secure Enclave identity by default; servers requiring ed25519 use an encrypted software key instead. The App Store release is presented as forthcoming.
