Prompt, by Panic Software, the authors of Transmit and Coda. They even managed to get rid of disconnections while in the background, admittedly in a hacky way using location services.

I had no idea this worked. It’s a little odd to have to give my SSH client location access, but I just tested this and it totally works.

I have a copy of both Blink and Prompt. Normally I use Blink more, but this keep alive is a really handy feature.

There is geo track command in blink. It will also keep connections.

This is a completely undiscoverable feature. It isn’t mentioned anywhere I saw and isn’t part of the normal config screen. I’m happy it’s there, but now I’m curious what else I was missing...

Thanks!!
