Free downloads and an ad-supported mobile tier

Free downloads

The iOS and Android apps are free to download. Get the clients from the download page and the PC daemon from GitHub Releases.

Ads may fund the free tier

The free mobile experience may include ads (AdMob). The optional subscription described below is for removing those ads on mobile.

Your own computer

Install the host daemon on Windows, macOS, or Linux and attach from iOS, Android, or the web. Commands run on your PC, not in a hosted cloud shell.

Ad-free mobile access through the app stores

What the subscription does

The optional subscription removes ads on supported mobile clients. It is sold through the Apple App Store and Google Play, and it is separate from the host daemon license.

Billing and regional pricing

Apple or Google handles billing, renewals, cancellations, and refunds under the rules for your region. Prices can differ by country or account and can change over time, so use the price shown on the store listing for your device.

Personal and internal use is free under BSL 1.1

The host daemon's source code is available on GitHub under the Business Source License 1.1. Personal and internal use is free. Commercial resale of the daemon, or offering it as a paid or hosted service, requires a separate commercial license; see the repository README and LICENSE for the authoritative terms.

This license is separate from the mobile ad-free subscription. CLIAnywhere connects you to a terminal on your own PC; it is not a cloud-hosted shell sold per seat on this page.
