CONNECT WITH CONFIDENCE

Authenticate with passwords, two-factor challenge, or keys (RSA, DSA, ED25519, PuTTY). Jump through bastion hosts, keep an alternative address per host for when you are inside or outside your network, and let known hosts protect you from surprises. Full terminal emulation (XTERM-256COLOR, XTERM, VT100) with WebGL rendering, split panes, inline images, buffer search, session recording and custom profiles - themes, fonts, colors and keyboard shortcuts tailored to your workflow.
NEW IN 33: ONE COMMAND, EVERY HOST
Run a command or a snippet on several hosts at once and watch the results come back side by side. The Terminal State Bar now shows more about the machine you are on, snippets get keyboard shortcuts on Mac, and the keyboard accessory keys can carry your own icons.
MANAGE FILES REMOTELY
The integrated SFTP and SCP client lets you browse directories, create, rename, upload and download files - and edit text files directly within the app. WebSSH can also open .txt files from anywhere on your device.
MORE THAN SSH
Mosh keeps your session alive through network changes, sleep and flaky connections - switch from Wi-Fi to cellular and pick up right where you left off. Telnet supports direct and interactive authentication, including the CP437 character set for BBS servers. Serial connections support full configuration (baud rate, parity, stop bits, flow control).
TUNNEL ANYTHING
Local and dynamic port forwarding, VPN over SSH to route your device's traffic through a server, port knocking and Wake-on-LAN to reach machines that are not listening yet.
PROXMOX AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Connect to one or more Proxmox servers and clusters, monitor your nodes at a glance (CPU, memory, storage), and manage your VMs and LXC containers - start, stop, reboot and migrate them right from your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
SNIPPETS THAT WORK FOR YOU
Save the commands you type every day, add dynamic variables, sync them from a GitHub Gist and fire them with a shortcut.
BUILT-IN SYSADMIN TOOLKIT
Quick diagnostics without leaving the app: Ping, Traceroute, DNS Lookup with propagation check, Whois, network scanner, Certificate Checker, Postmaster for SMTP and DMARC audits, HTTP Forge for crafted requests, Hex Viewer, Baker for data transformations, Code Forge for QR codes, Subnet Calculator, Cron generator, Password Generator and end-to-end encrypted Secret Share. The mashREPL local shell (ls, grep, curl, ping, tar and more) works even without internet access.
PRIVACY. PERIOD.
No account. No analytics. No ads. Your connections stay on your device, and iCloud sync only runs when you turn it on.
