Classic hosts.
New possibilities.

01

Enterprise MDM support

Deploy corporate host profiles with Jamf Pro, Microsoft Intune, VMware Workspace ONE, or MobileIron. Set default hosts and ports, enforce TLS policies, restrict dataset and PDF exports, and lock deployed profiles against user changes.

02

Biometric session protection

Require Face ID, Touch ID, Optic ID, or device passcode authentication before connecting to sensitive host sessions.

03

iCloud Keychain credential sync

Securely synchronize host credentials across your Apple devices through encrypted iCloud Keychain, without exposing plaintext credentials.

04

Spotlight search & deep linking

Host bookmarks are automatically indexed in macOS and iOS system search. Launch a saved host directly from Spotlight.

05

Siri voice shortcuts

Use App Shortcuts for hands-free terminal actions, including “Connect to mainframe in Host Studio”.

06

Sanitized bookmark sharing

Share host profiles via AirDrop or JSON with credentials automatically removed. Personal backup and restore are also supported.

07

Complete localization in 10 languages

English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

08

Authentic 3270 & 5250

Connect to z/OS, z/VM, z/VSE, and IBM i (AS/400). TN3270E supports RFC 2355 negotiation, LU pooling, and screen models 2–5. Host Studio supports TN5250 and TN5250E, including RFC 4777 enhancements, auto bypass sign-on, and associated printer binding. TN5250 supports RFC 1205, 24×80 and 27×132 displays, Workstation IDs, and System Request.

09

From host screen to native form

Switch from CRT rendering to a SwiftUI interface in a tap. Subsystem-aware parsing recognizes CICS, TSO/ISPF, IMS, and z/VSE, turning screen fields into labeled inputs, output cards, a command bar, and contextual PF/PA actions.

Dedicated Native and Hybrid presentations offer spaced pill controls for switching between CRT grid alignment and card components.

10

5250 host print queue

A virtual 5250 companion printer captures SCS spool data using RFC 2877. Turn reports into paginated vector PDFs, then browse the print queue with printer IDs, page counts, and timestamps. Open, export, share, or print reports with AirPrint or macOS CUPS.

Live sessions preserve authentic host printer queues such as PRT01 and PRT02. Offline demo spool jobs are cleared when a connection is established or a demo ends.

11

IND$FILE, with control

Transfer mainframe datasets with TSO/E, VM/CMS, and CICS. Use Structured Field or CUT modes, Fixed, Variable, or Undefined records, configurable LRECL and BLKSIZE, and ASCII, EBCDIC, or binary transfer modes.

3270-specific dataset transfer controls are hidden during IBM i (5250) sessions.

12

A console that fits your posture

DuoPosture and Tabletop Console support split layouts, dual screens, and external displays. The Cyberdeck Console puts PF banks, a navigation D-pad, and quick host commands into a dedicated control view.

13

Fewer repetitive steps

Tap screen hotspots to activate commands and menus. Automate logon sequences with WAIT, SEND, ENTER, TAB, DELAY, and PF keys. Scan barcodes, QR codes, and hardware serial numbers directly into active mainframe or IBM i input fields using a device camera.

14

Readable. Reachable. Adaptable.

VoiceOver labels, full keyboard access, high-contrast themes, and two-dimensional pinch-to-zoom help you work your way. Cursor tracking keeps active input in view.

15

Your connections, carried forward

Use TLS 1.3 with internal certificate authorities and private self-signed certificates. Private CloudKit sync keeps bookmarks, geometry, and themes in step across your Apple devices.
