Description

Lightning fast SSH terminal with remote file access. No other app fuses your SSH servers and iOS devices as well as Secure ShellFish. Tap Get and see for yourself. Terminal supports standard text editing gestures for selection, scrolling and copy/paste as well as custom gestures to send arrow keys and tabulator making shell entry and full screen editing with vim or emacs delightful. Bar above the keyboard makes it easy to type special keys and insert snippets. Select and drag filenames out of the terminal as actual files and drag files from other apps into the terminal to upload. Use built-in tmux support to persist terminal sessions if you lose Internet access, pick existing sessions with thumbnails and Handoff sessions between devices. Server file system is available in the Files app and recently accessed files and directories are cached to make them available when offline. Use apps like Textastic and iA Writer for a native editing experience working on your remote server files. Upload files or entire directories from the share sheet with minimal friction as the last destination directory for each kind of file is remembered or automate file transfers in the Shortcuts app. Connect to your Mac, Synology NAS and any other SSH server or create new Digital Ocean droplets right from the app. Secure ShellFish is useful as a free app and paying pro users can disable ads in the terminal, upload through the Files app and configure unlimited number of servers.

  • The go-to shell on iPhone and iPad!

    This app is very convenient and packed with features. It integrates well with my storage servers. I love it syncs between my devices and it allows me to access my computers from anywhere using an iPhone or iPad.
  • Essential SSH app!

    This is by far the best SSH app out there. Runs on all Apple platforms — iPad, Mac, iPhone — and syncs config (including keys) between all. Supports jump servers and tmux. Strong support for file transfers via sftp, too. Rock solid app. I mostly use it on Mac and iPad, but did some stuff from my iPhone while sitting at the pool. Surprisingly usable on such a small screen! Oh, and a reasonable purchase price, too. I’ve seen other apps ask $100+ PER YEAR. ShellFish is worth every penny if you want ssh access from iOS and/or Mac.
  • So far so good

    This SSH client is a serious workhouse and allows you to work with servers easily. It is amazing with LLMs.

  • Indispensable

    I’ve been using this app for a while now, and realized recently how significant a gap it fills. While I use it almost entirely for interactive sessions, both that implementation and the file transfer functionality are close to flawless. Also, it’s updated frequently, with additional functionality.
  • The best ssh app that I’ve used

    I’ve used about 10 different ssh apps over the years on both Android and iOS, and so far this is the best of them. It’s easy to use, but powerful. I appreciate the integration into Files, negating the need for another file app.
  • Wonderful App!

    This app works great between iOS and Mac OS for quickly transitioning between devices. Works great for developing on the go with LLMs.
