Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An SSH and SFTP client for iPhone and iPad that adapts terminal controls and server sessions to one-handed phone use.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-30 issue.

For: People managing SSH sessions from an iPhone or iPad
Worth noticing: Dictated commands sit in a staging bar for correction; nothing is sent until the user taps Send.

Field notes

The shortcut bar can be organized into groups for tmux, nvim, symbols and the clipboard; keys can be added, reordered, duplicated or removed. For uploads, the page describes sending photos or files over SFTP, choosing a remote folder, and placing the remote path into the command being written. It also says the optional speech-recognition model runs on-device. Android support is presented as coming, not as currently available.
