Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app
The Only App Which Does Not Specifically and Precisely Suck[tm].<p>I don&#x27;t know whether I should be grateful to Termux for making Android remotely bearable, or vexed that it&#x27;s enabling a platform I despise.<p>But on its own merits, Termux is amazing, profoundly useful, powerful, and a breath of fresh air.<p><i>Do install from F-Droid</i>, not Google Play Store, as others note.<p>And yes, <i>of course</i> it&#x27;s <i>more</i> useful with an actual hardware keyboard (Bluetooth), as is Android generally.  But it&#x27;s <i>usable</i> and <i>useful</i> even when using the onscreen soft keyboard.  (Hacker&#x27;s Keyboard FTFW.)<p>You can also run the available sshd service and access your mobile device remotely.<p>And yes, I mention and advocate Termux frequently on HN:   &lt;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?dateRange=all&amp;page=0&amp;prefix=false&amp;query=by:dredmorbius termux&amp;sort=byPopularity&amp;type=comment" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?dateRange=all&amp;page=0&amp;prefix=false&amp;qu...</a>&gt;
