I want to try it but $20 for a shell seems like a tough sell!

  It's definitely steep, but if you are doing serious work in the shell on iOS, it's worth it IMHO. I was traveling by motorcycle for 6 months and did all my dev work on an iPad using emacs over mosh on Blink, and it was a great experience.

  It’s open source if that makes you reconsider. It’s definitely worth supporting them IMO.

  You can build it yourself from source with Xcode. But this is one of the apps I cannot believe is not subscription-based. Author keeps up with changes in iOS and improves constantly. The cost is justified too as the market for terminal emulators is much smaller than general iOS audience.

    I'm glad it isn't, that would effectively price me out. The current price point is quite steep just for being able to check on my private server on the go (I don't earn a penny from it, it's just for fun and toying around), a subscription would be a dealbreaker. A dozen apps for the price of a coffee a month ends up being real money over the long run, and not everyone who buys this sort of thing has company money to spend.

  I built it from source to see if it was what I needed and it so scratched my itch that I paid the $20 as a contribution. I don't do any professional development on my iPad, I just like having the ability to mosh/ssh back into my machines at home to run a script or push a quick edit to my personal github.
