AppleDOS

About AppleDOS

A classic command prompt for the computer in your pocket.

AppleDOS brings the DOS-style command prompt to iPhone and iPad. Its own storage becomes drive C:, iCloud Drive becomes I:, and USB drives and any folder you open in Files get their own letters. Then you manage files the fast way: by typing commands like DIR, COPY, XCOPY, MOVE, REN and FINDSTR.

It is for people who grew up with the command line and still think in it, for power users who want to move a hundred files in one line, and for anyone curious about how computers worked before the touch screen. Batch files, a QBASIC-style interpreter, EDIT and a PowerShell-compatible shell are all built in. Its sister app DroidDOS does the same on Android.

Private by design

AppleDOS collects no personal data and has no ads, analytics or tracking. Your files stay on your device and in your own iCloud Drive. See the privacy policy.
