Could you build this?

Partial The iOS UI and remote trigger concepts can be generated easily, but embedding an in-app native terminal emulator with Metal rendering, libssh2 channel multiplexing, and Unix socket forwarding requires low-level systems engineering.

What it would actually take: The app requires compiling and binding low-level C libraries (libssh2, libghostty) within a native Swift/SwiftUI iOS application. The difficult engineering components include handling SSH PTY stream-local forwarding to remote Unix domain sockets, managing complex terminal escape sequences, and utilizing Metal shaders for low-latency terminal rendering on mobile. This demands specialized expertise in C/Swift interoperability, low-level networking, and Apple graphics programming.
