Whether you are restarting a service at 2am, tailing logs on the train, or checking on a home lab from the couch, YuzuSSH gives you a proper secure shell in your pocket — no ads, no tracking, no fuss.

WHY YUZUSSH

• A genuine SSH client, not a wrapper — built on the battle-tested dartssh2 protocol library and the xterm terminal engine, so your sessions behave like they do on the desktop.
• A full-color terminal emulator with 256-color support, Unicode rendering, and selectable fonts and sizes, so long sessions stay comfortable.
• Secure shell done right — password and SSH private key authentication, host key verification on first use, and keep-alive pings that survive flaky mobile networks.
• Remote access that is actually mobile-friendly — saved connections, one-tap reconnect, and an extra key row (ESC, TAB, CTRL, ALT, arrows, pipe, tilde) so every key you need is a thumb away.
• Open source dependencies, no ads, no analytics, no data collection. Your credentials stay on your device.

FEATURES

• Saved connections with per-host settings — host, port, username, authentication, and font size
• Password and SSH key authentication (RSA, Ed25519, ECDSA)
• Host key fingerprint verification with trust-on-first-use
• Full xterm-compatible terminal emulator with color and Unicode
• Session keep-alive to prevent idle disconnects on mobile networks
• Persistent notification while a session is active, so background kills are rare
• Extra key row for the keys your on-screen keyboard forgot
• Per-connection or global font size for readable terminals on any screen
• Light and dark themes, plus an optional gold accent theme
• Rate the app, visit the website, and view open-source licenses from Settings

WHO IT IS FOR

Developers SSHing into build servers. Sysadmins reaching into production. Hobbyists managing a Raspberry Pi or home lab. Students learning Linux. Anyone who prefers a real terminal over a web console when time matters.

PRIVACY

YuzuSSH does not send your hostnames, usernames, passwords, or keys anywhere. All connection data is stored locally on your device. There are no third-party analytics SDKs and no advertising.
