Best SSH Client App For Android Smartphones

4. Customizable
5. Has some user based resources on GitHub

We installed two applications – Termius and Termux :

Possibly most of the power users need both – Termius has SFTP and Termux is an Android terminal emulator and additional packages are available using the APT package manager with pkg or apt command.

Termux is actually a sane, full fledged Terminal emulator with package manager with support of pkg or apt command. You can increase the font size by zooming Termux like you do zoom photo. Of course, we ZSH via this Termux :
