Is Termius the only cross platform emulator that includes Android as one of the platforms? It is quite good, in my limited experience, but too expensive for a hobbiest. I like that I can use my Linux desktop, MacOS laptop, and Android tablet/phone and the UX is the same across them all. The sync (trial for free, then charge) is great. But I’d be fine if it was something where I could DIY a sync method with something like Syncthing.

I’m aware of the likes of Alacritty, but no mobile app. And of course Termux is great for mobile, but no desktop versions.

It all boils down to wanting some sort of sync function either DIY or otherwise that includes hosts and SSH keys and while not as important, I do like the consistent UX between platforms. Is there something else to consider?

    A similar system can be achieved using a synced .ssh folder, along with a .ssh/config file. The folder will have all the keys, and the config file will have the aliases aka bookmarks. Then you can do something like ssh media_server, and login without entering a password.

    For the actual terminal emulators, I can recommend Alacritty for desktop OSes and Termux on Android.
