AirTerminal - BLE Terminal

Reach an embedded device's serial console through a separate BLE adapter.

Our take

Useful for authorized local hardware troubleshooting

Terminal keys, hardware-keyboard input and XMODEM transfers support console work without SSH.

Keep in mind: A compatible BLE serial adapter and working target shell are required; the app does not supply Linux commands or an embedded computer.

What you can do

  • BLE central/peripheral terminal
  • Control keys and terminal-size adjustment
  • XMODEM file send/receive

Good for

  • People administering their own embedded hardware

Consider alternatives for

  • A hardware-free SSH replacement for every device

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.0.
  • A compatible BLE serial adapter and working target shell are required; the app does not supply Linux commands or an embedded computer.

Privacy & permissions

Console traffic and transferred files can expose credentials or device control; trust the paired adapter/target and do not assume all BLE links provide the same security.
