PaperTerm is an SSH terminal built for e-paper devices such as the Onyx Boox range, where screens redraw slowly and leave ghosting behind. It pairs the Termux terminal engine with a pure-Java SSH client, and adds the details that make a terminal usable on e-ink. It is a pure SSH client: there is no local shell and no local code execution.
