Termux is an Android application that provides you with a comprehensive terminal environment. There is an extensive Linux package collection available.
Command line
This app emulates a terminal environment and, just like Apo AI, transforms a device into a pocket-sized Linux distribution. You will gain access to a familiar command-line experience.
The application includes a package manager that enables the installation of various Linux utilities. These include programming languages like Python and Node.js as well as different tools for text processing and networking.
Termux offers its extensive functionality without the need for root access. While certain features might benefit from rooting, the majority of its capabilities are accessible right out of the box. The utility also provides APIs to interact directly with device features. Thus, allowing tasks such as sending SMS or tapping into the device’s sensors directly from the terminal.
Add-ons
Customization is available as well, with add-ons like Termux:Styling that let you tailor the terminal’s aesthetics to your liking. There are also other add-ons, such as Termux:API and Termux:Boot. Moreover, the app has storage integration and touch keyboard shortcuts.
