Guide To Termux is the companion app for Termux — a hands-on library of Termux commands fixes and step-by-step recipes that are actually verified on a real device before they ship.

Most Termux guides online are copied outdated or were never tested. Links rot packages get renamed mirrors go stale and you are left pasting commands that simply do not work. Guide To Termux is built the opposite way: every recipe is run on a real Android device and stamped with the date it was last checked. If it is in the app it worked.

WHY PEOPLE USE IT

• Verified not copied — each recipe shows a freshness badge (Maintained Stale Archived) so you always know whether it still works.
• Works fully offline — the whole library is bundled in the app. No account no sign-up no connection required from the very first launch.
• No ads. No interstitials. No paywall. No "premium" lock on real content. Ever.
• One-tap run — send a command straight to Termux or copy it without retyping a single character.
• Knows your Termux — the app detects which Termux build you have (Google Play or F-Droid / GitHub) and only shows controls that actually work on it.

WHAT IS INSIDE

• Setup — which Termux to install first-run setup storage access and keeping it up to date.
• Fixes — the errors everyone hits: "Unable to locate package" slow or failing pkg update broken mirrors repositories and keyring problems.
• Packages & tools — install and use Python Node.js Git SSH yt-dlp nmap and many more with commands that are tested not guessed.
• Recipes — real projects: serve a folder over your network back up and restore your whole Termux run a desktop over VNC connect shared storage and more.
• Security Lab — an optional clearly-gated track that explains how common attacks work and how to defend against them for learning on systems you own or are allowed to test.
• Toolbox — save your favourite recipes keep your own command snippets and revisit what you viewed recently.

BUILT TO BE FAIR

This app exists because the older Termux helper apps went unmaintained and filled up with dead links and aggressive ads. Guide To Termux is deliberately the opposite: honest offline ad-free and kept current. Light and dark themes English and Nepali and a clean modern interface throughout.
