Could you build this?
No Building a custom native macOS terminal emulator with block-based command execution, PTY multiplexing, and paired iOS remote SSH shells requires low-level Unix systems and native GUI programming.
What it would actually take: Requires Swift/Objective-C with low-level POSIX terminal APIs (pseudoterminals/pty, termios, ANSI/VT100 escape sequence parsing, and libssh2). The hardest parts are building a rock-solid, zero-latency text rendering engine (using Metal or CoreText), intercepting structured command inputs/outputs cleanly, and creating an end-to-end encrypted remote execution protocol between macOS and iOS clients.
