User Reviews

Overall, Secure Terminal is praised for its strong value (one-time price), cross-device SSH with file transfer and a file manager, and a privacy-conscious design. Reviewers cite easy setup, a robust feature set, and quick developer responsiveness. The main recurring drawback is keyboard usability, with some reports of external keyboard shortcuts not working and the on-screen toolbar obstructing typing. A few note occasional stability hiccups, but many users highly recommend it for mobile server management.
Pros
  • Excellent value: one-time purchase with no subscription
  • Works across Mac, iPhone, and iPad for seamless cross-device SSH use
  • Feature-rich SSH with built-in file transfer, file manager, and server monitoring
  • Privacy-friendly: claims no data collection
  • Easy to set up and use with responsive developer support
Cons
  • Keyboard/input issues on external keyboards and the on-screen toolbar can interfere with typing or shortcuts
