Prompt 3

Prompt 3 is Panic's terminal client for remote systems and local shells on Mac.

Our take

Consider it if you use several connection protocols or want clips and hosts available across Apple devices.

Mosh and Eternal Terminal complement SSH where the target host supports them.

Keep in mind: Local shells are a Mac feature. Remote connections require compatible authorized hosts; Telnet does not offer SSH's protection.

What you can do

  • Connect through SSH, Mosh or other supported protocols
  • Save command clips and configure jump hosts
  • Use optional Panic Sync for host records

Good for

  • Developers and administrators working on authorized systems

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone seeking an included hosted development machine

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 26.0.
  • Local shells are a Mac feature. Remote connections require compatible authorized hosts; Telnet does not offer SSH's protection.

Privacy & permissions

Host records, private keys and passwords are sensitive. Check optional Panic Sync and device security settings before enabling it.
