An SSH terminal for iPhone and iPad. Support and contact.

Common questions

I can't connect to my server

• Check the hostname and port. The default SSH port is 22.
• If the server is on your home network, your phone needs to be on the same network, or reachable through a VPN.
• Confirm the server accepts password authentication. Many servers are configured for keys only.
• Try the same host, port, username and password from a computer first, to narrow down whether the problem is the app or the server.

I got a "Host Key Changed" warning

The app remembers each server's identity the first time you connect, and warns you if it changes later. This happens legitimately when a server is rebuilt or reinstalled. It can also mean something is intercepting the connection. Only tap "Trust New Key" if you were expecting the change.

The AI features aren't there

They need iOS 26 on a device that supports Apple Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence turned on in Settings. On older systems or unsupported hardware the AI menu is hidden; everything else in the app works normally.

Where are my passwords stored?

In the iOS Keychain on your device, encrypted by the system, only if you turned on "Save password to Keychain". They are never uploaded anywhere. See the privacy policy.

Keyboard covers the bottom of the terminal

The terminal resizes to the visible area as the keyboard appears. If a row still looks clipped, rotating the device or toggling the keyboard usually settles it. If it persists, please email with a screenshot.

Can I use SSH keys instead of a password?

Not yet. Password authentication is supported today. Key-based auth is on the list — email if you want it, it helps with prioritizing.

Privacy

The app collects nothing. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, and no servers of the developer's in the path between your device and yours. Read the full privacy policy.
