Before you begin
These features are available in the current App Store release. Web preview uses a single-row toolbar and an SSH address chip. You still need your own reachable SSH server.
Know which menu to open
The top-right hamburger menu (☰) switches between Terminal, Files, Git and Web. The vertical dots (⋮) below it contain actions for the current view. The server name tells you where you are working.
Create and manage a terminal tab
Tap + beside the terminal tabs and choose the saved server. Tap a tab to select it; long-press and drag to reorder on touch screens. The keyboard icon toggles the terminal keyboard. In ⋮, use All terminal tabs for an overview, or Tab actions for rename and other actions. A draft prompts you before its tab is discarded.
Open a private development page
Choose ☰ → Web. Enter an HTTP address, then tap Open or the keyboard’s Go key. Blank addresses are disabled; merely switching to Web does not connect.

When connected, the address field collapses to leave more room for the page. Tap the address to edit it. Choose ⋮ → Disconnect to close the preview; while connecting, the action is Cancel connection. The address field and Open return afterward.
If something gets in the way
The controls do not match my phone
Check the app version. Older releases use different controls; the current release uses a compact Web toolbar. The SSH web preview guide describes the current connection flow.

That browser uses your phone network. For a remote HTTP URL, choose Preview via SSH from the terminal link actions, or enter it in Web.
Can I use this as a VPN?
No. The preview forwards the selected HTTP origin only. HTTPS destinations and automatic forwarding of other origins are not supported.
