FAQ
Where are my passwords stored?
In the iOS Keychain on your device only. HD App Studio has no server and never sees your credentials.
Does it support keys?
Yes — key-based SSH auth and on-device key management are part of Pro.
Why Telnet in 2026?
Retro BBSes, lab gear and embedded devices still speak Telnet — PureTerm keeps it one tap away.
Is there a free tier?
Yes — one saved host with time-limited sessions; Pro removes the limits.
