About Conduit
Conduit is a local-first terminal workspace for SSH, Mosh, SFTP, and local shells. It is built for people who need terminals from a phone without creating an account, syncing credentials through a service, or paying a subscription to open a shell. Connect to remote machines over SSH or Mosh, browse files with SFTP, or run a full Arch Linux shell right on the device - pacman and all - with no root and no remote server.
Privacy and F-Droid
F-Droid builds Conduit from its published source code and flags anti-features such as ads, tracking or reliance on non-free services.
No anti-features flagged on the latest F-Droid build.
