`freerdp` is needed for RDP connections. `gnome-keyring` or `kwallet` lets MrTerm encrypt your saved passwords and keys.
**Android**
- Install with [Obtainium](https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/redirect?r=obtainium://app/%7B%22id%22%3A%22de.mrterm.app%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fgit.mrblake.cc%2FMrBlake%2FMrTerm%22%2C%22author%22%3A%22MrBlake%22%2C%22name%22%3A%22MrTerm%22%2C%22overrideSource%22%3A%22Codeberg%22%7D): tap the badge above on your phone, or add `https://git.mrblake.cc/MrBlake/MrTerm` in Obtainium and choose **Forgejo (Codeberg)** as the source. Obtainium then keeps MrTerm up to date.
- Or download `MrTerm-<version>.apk` from the releases page and install it directly.
## Android app
The Android app is made for phones and focuses on what you need on the go:
- **Hosts** with groups, search and Quick Connect (`user@host:port`)
- **SSH terminal** in full screen with an extra key row (Esc, Tab, Ctrl, Alt, arrow keys, `|`, `~` …), pinch-to-zoom and several open sessions
- **Keys**: generate or import SSH keys and copy the public key
- **Snippets** you can send to the terminal with one tap
- **LAN sync** with MrTerm on your computer: pair once, and your hosts, groups and snippets appear on the phone. You choose which passwords and keys are shared
- **App lock** with a password and fingerprint unlock. The vault is encrypted with a key kept in the Android Keystore
RDP, SFTP, port forwarding and VPN are only available in the desktop app.
## Features
- **Hosts**: nested groups, tags, colors, search and Quick Connect (`user@host:port`, `rdp://host`)

If the build fails with `EACCES: permission denied`, some files in `node_modules` belong to root. Run `sudo chown -R $USER: node_modules` and don't run npm with `sudo`.
**Publishing a release**: `./scripts/release-all.sh` asks for the version and release notes, commits and pushes the version, builds Windows + Arch/CachyOS and uploads everything to Gitea. It reads the token from `GITEA_TOKEN` or from `.gitea-token`, which is not committed.
**Android app** (`mobile/`): Capacitor with [capacitor-nodejs](https://github.com/hampoelz/Capacitor-NodeJS). The phone runs the same Node modules as the desktop app (`src/main/ssh.js`, `store.js`, `sync.js` …), bundled with esbuild; the phone UI lives in `mobile/web/`.
```bash
cd mobile
node build.js --setup # once: downloads the Node.js plugin (checksum-verified) and installs dependencies
node build.js --apk # builds signed APKs into dist/ (needs JDK 21 + Android SDK, see JAVA_HOME / ANDROID_HOME)
../node_modules/.bin/electron dev/electron-dev.js # try the phone UI on the desktop (after node build.js)
```
APKs are signed with `mobile/android/keystore.properties` and the keystore it points to. Both are not committed. Keep a backup, because Android only installs updates signed with the same key.
**Publishing a release**: `./scripts/release-all.sh` asks for the version and release notes, commits and pushes the version, builds Windows + Arch/CachyOS + Android and uploads everything to Gitea. It reads the token from `GITEA_TOKEN` or from `.gitea-token`, which is not committed.
**Translations** live in [`src/i18n.js`](src/i18n.js). The English text in the code is the key. To add a language, add a dictionary and list it in `LANGUAGES`.
