Learn the core sshChat flow on iPhone.

This guide is the real day-one flow: type, watch command suggestions filter live, pick one if it helps, and send it without overthinking terminal UX.

Step 1: Type directly into the composer

Inside the chat composer at the bottom of sshChat:

ls
docker
pwd

As you type, the quick command row filters to matching command titles or prefixes. Typing docker narrows the row to Docker-related commands.

Step 2: Use suggestions only when they help

Tap a command chip if you want the full saved command quickly. If not, just keep typing manually.

When you tap a saved command, sshChat shows the command title above the keyboard so you can confirm intent before sending.

Step 3: Send the command in normal mode

Good first commands:

pwd
whoami
df -h

Most short commands should finish quickly and keep the chat readable. Use Stream Mode only for commands that really keep producing output.

Step 4: Read the result like a timeline

sshChat shows the command bubble, the returned output, and status information like success, error, timing, and path.

Think of the chat as a timeline of server actions. Keep short checks in normal mode and reserve Stream Mode for long work.

If you run installs, builds, or long Docker commands, open the Stream Mode guide next.
