Hi! I'm looking for an SSH client for Android, but open source. Termius is great, but it's closed source and has its subscription-based pricing model, so it's out. I use ConnectBot rn but it's buggy and looks awful. Would you recommend any?

What I like about termux:

  • A real shell that can be changed for zsh and ohmyzsh, for example

(https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting and https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions are really handy for quickly reusing familiar commands without having to retype everything, which saves a lot of time on a day-to-day basis)

  • numerous packages available

The only flaw I've found with termux is its use of google dns :(
