An iPad terminal for power users.
SSH, mosh, tmux — without the legacy.
Most iPad terminals are afterthoughts. Tessera treats the keyboard as the primary input, the network as untrustworthy, and the screen as a session — not a window. Built for people who already live in a terminal.
Open a session over SSH. Toggle a host to use mosh and it survives the cafe wifi, the lift, the train tunnel. Per-host setting — you decide where it helps.
Auto-attach per host. Native panes in the iPad layout when you want them; raw passthrough when you don't. Common prefixes ship on the keyboard accessory bar — fully customizable.
Generate Ed25519, ECDSA, RSA, ML-DSA. Each key shows fingerprint, age, last-used host. Optional Face ID per use. Import from paste, file, or QR. Export the public key with one tap.
Groups, tags with color, jump host chaining, per-host env vars, startup snippets, port forwarding rules. Bookmark anything you connect to. Bulk-edit when the cluster grows.
Verified, stale, or changed — at a glance. When a host key rotates, see the old and new fingerprint side by side and accept (or refuse) on purpose.
Chrome-style tabs. Native split. iCloud sync for hosts and settings. Light and dark with system preference. Fonts you'd actually pick.
Free during beta. After 1.0, a one-time purchase — no subscription, no telemetry, no rented credentials. Email us and we'll send a TestFlight invite.
