BIG UPDATE • Apple Vision Pro Support • New Lower Price! Prompt 3 is our #1 fully-native terminal emulator for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and now, Apple Vision Pro! Yes, with one purchase, you get four platforms. Supporting SSH, Mosh, Eternal Terminal, Telnet, and Local Shells (on Mac), you can stay connected even on the most unstable networks. And with Panic Sync, your servers sync everywhere. For terminals, this is the only app you need. NOW EVEN BETTER: • SSH, Telnet, and Local (for Mac) Rock-solid and reliable connectivity to your hosts. • Mosh and Eternal Terminal Keep your terminal open even when you get disconnected. Mosh is optimized for high-latency, low-throughput networks. Eternal Terminal is great for when you need to keep your full terminal history on a flaky connection. • Lower Price Everything is so expensive right now. So we made Prompt cheaper. Take that, capitalism. • Superfast Emulation We retooled the text engine in Prompt 3 to be up to 10x faster, including GPU acceleration, and with improved terminal emulation, you can run nvim inside tmux without breaking a sweat. • Clips Put your most-used commands and text bits into clips and access them with a single tap via Prompt’s keyboard bar. Clips can be stored globally or per-server. • Secure Enclave Authenticate with FaceID and TouchID. The keys will stay secure on your device. • Panic Sync Sync your favorite servers, passwords, private keys, and clips, between Prompt on all of your devices. • Customizable Make Prompt perfect with new themes, fonts, and a very configurable iOS keyboard. • Jump Hosts and Agent Forwarding Access corporate servers, even at the beach. • Mouse Support Use your mouse to interact with TUI-based apps that run through the terminal. AND YES, A DARK ICON. What more can we say? TAKE CONTROL FROM ANYWHERE, INCLUDING YOUR MAC AND APPLE VISION PRO. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY PROMPT 3. © Panic EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

MacOS version needs some love
01/30/2024

jwbreedlove
Let me start by saying I love Panic apps. I got into coding way back in the early days of Coda and have since tried all the different apps. On iPadOS, Prompt truly shines as the best option so I was excited to see it appear on the Mac. I have hope that it will continue to develop into a robust Terminal replacement but it desparately needs modern features like copy on select, split panes, configurable one-click copy, ssh-agent integration, and a bug fix to stop the app from crashing when the Mac goes to sleep. Happy to augment my worflows with Prompt but iTerm2 is more feature rich as of now. That said, Mac still lacks a terminal app that is comparable to Windows Terminal (one of the few things I miss about developing on Windows).

Nice (value) terminal that pairs great with Transmit

I’ve been using Panic apps since 2005, and they continue to deliver some great tools on macOS.Prompt is fast and straight-forward (clips are by far my favorite feature); exactly what you want in a terminal app. When paired with Transmit 5, it becomes an incredibly effective workflow for remote work. Between the two, you get a seamless combination of SSH access and file management that covers the majority of needs without unnecessary complexity and at a very good price point IMO. Rarely have I ever needed to reach out to support, but recently I did have an issue which was sent up and addressed within a couple of days. Very ‘prompt’ and responsive turn-around from their support in Portland, OR.

EDIT: Panic Support was super helpful and told me how to map the Home and End keys Lot's of potential in this application, please keep it up. The only criticism I have is the billing model. I have a work Apple ID and a personal Apple ID and they do not mix, so if I want to use Prompt I have to buy it twice, I guess that's ok for the devs, but I'd really like the ability to purchase it outside of Apple billing (maybe the $99 one time purchase is the solution, I am hesitant to try it...)

Longtime iTerm user. Off the bat, I couldn't SSH to any of the sites that I normally SSH to thru the terminal. These are all sites that are authenticated via an SSH key, which I did add to the site config. Maybe it's because I'm on a VPN? Don't know, but I was able to get to them by using a local terminal session and then using the SSH command like I normally would in iTerm. The included themes are kind of thin and not that great. I'm sure that will change over time as well. Out of the gate, it's good, but if I wasn't a die hard Panic Nova/Transmit user, I'd probably pass on this until it matures a bit more. However, on the iPad, it's the best option available and well worth the money. So if you look at it like you are getting the Mac version for free for buying the iPad version, then it's probably worth it.
