SSH Terminal Client

Connect directly to your own servers from iPhone and iPad with a focused SSH terminal, host-key verification, and SFTP file transfer.

SSH Terminal is a direct, self-hosted SSH client for iPhone and iPad.

Connect to the servers you already own and use a real interactive terminal for shells, tmux, vim, htop, Codex CLI, Claude Code, and other command-line tools. No companion server, relay, or cloud terminal account is required.

Features:

• Interactive SSH terminal with ANSI/VT rendering and 256-color support
• Password and OpenSSH private-key authentication
• Explicit SHA-256 host-key verification before the first connection
• Host-key change detection to block unexpected server identity changes
• Multiple saved SSH hosts and in-app session switching
• Detach from a session without closing the remote connection
• Dynamic terminal sizing for iPhone and iPad, including rotation
• Hardware-keyboard support and terminal accessory controls
• SFTP directory browsing with upload and download
• Safe file transfer using temporary files and atomic replacement where supported
• Credentials stored locally in Apple Keychain

SSH Terminal connects directly to the host and port you enter. Terminal input, output, credentials, and transferred files are not sent to an app-owned relay or analytics service.

The app does not provide SSH port forwarding, agent forwarding, keyboard-interactive authentication, background transfers, or automatic tmux session recovery.
