Saving your sessions' terminal output allows for debugging and analysis at a later stage. In Termius, it's possible to achieve this via the session logging functionality.
Note: Session logging is currently available in the desktop app only.
View session logs
- To view a log of a session, in the left-hand panel, open the history item associated with that session.
- Click the Open session log button.
How we store session logs
- Termius saves the output of every SSH and Telnet session you establish.
- Session logs are saved in history items. Removing a history item removes the corresponding session log.
- Sessions logs are stored only locally, i.e. not synchronized across devices.
- Log files are encrypted with the xchacha20poly1305 algorithm.
- Termius stores the 5 most recent logs per host entry and 5 most recent logs for connections established using the Quick-Connect option.

Glad to see that the session logging feature is on beta. But it would be better if the logging can be found in a external text file so that there won't be a limit for 5 recent files and text files is more easy to manage.
Really happy to see this feature added! I agree it would be nice to have the log text files accessible outside if Termius. If I want to share the session logs, I still have to copy/paste as I do now. I also noticed if I type "clear" in my ssh session I lose all previous session data. Clear should refresh the screen but not remove the previous session data.
I saw the text log file in the termius folder, so it would be nice to remove the 5 logs limitation, and it would be nice to let the user to set the location of the log file.
