Top 10 Best Apps To Use Linux Terminal on Your Android Device

1

Android Terminal Emulator

BusyBox is an excellent option for Android users who want to have control in the internal Linux command-line shell. This terminal emulator for Android requires a rooted device to function properly. It is one of the most popular among its competitors. There is a pro version, but the vanilla edition is more than enough for casual users. It will provide you with numerous Unix tools similar to GNU Core Utilities.

If you are looking for a powerful app to use a Linux terminal that comes with the cleanest interface, this one is for you.

Also, it lets you have access to the remote servers just using the SSH client from OpenSSH. Additionally, it comes with six add-on extensions and three repositories.

Undoubtedly, LADB is a powerful app, but it is not likely to be the general app to use Linux Terminal. Instead, the main task of LADB is to provide you the easy access to Android Debug Bridge’s Shell.

JuiceSSH

Finding the right characters for the Terminal is often very hard. If you think so, you must be in need of a customized keyboard with all the characters that are tough to find out. However, I can suggest another powerful terminal emulator that comes with such a useful keyboard. JuiceSSH by Sonelli Ltd is the app I am talking about. You can even change the font just with a tap on the volume key.
