### 4/5 — Toller SSH Client

*2026-07-08*

Ein perfekter, schlichter SSH, klein für iOS und iPadOS. Nutze diesen täglich und sehr gerne, es wäre allerdings dennoch noch klasse, wenn es eine Mac Version geben würde. Ich kann zwar die iPad Version auf dem Mac installieren, diese stürzt aber immer ab. Dann gibt es fünf Sterne.

### 4/5 — please support herdr

*2026-06-21, version 1.3.2*

herdr ，switch panes plz support

### 4/5 — -1 for Tap to Unlock

*2026-05-25, version 1.3.2*

Solid app but unlocking with Face ID shouldn’t require a tap. Really annoying when you have to jump between apps often.

### 4/5 — Please add ssh agent forwarding - great app though!

*2026-02-25, version 1.2.7*

Really enjoying this app. Please add ssh agent forwarding so I can access remote resources with the SSH key I’m using to access the server!

### 4/5 — plz support unicode input

*2026-02-21*

I'd like the following improvements;
- Font size smaller than 10. 
- Custom keyboard. 
- Support Japanese (Unicode) input for AI vib coding. 
- Commands requiring Ctrl + multi keys (Emacs's Ctrl + x + s) cannot be entered. Implement a long press on Ctrl to achieve a held-down state. 
- The arrow key is practically unusable.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2026-02-20*

Really works well for me, really like libghostty, mosh integration and that it’s released without subscription. Would love 1Password SSH key integration, if that is even possible on the iPhone.

### 3/5 — Beautiful

*2026-02-20*

Nice, easy to use but not enough options. On smaller screens or just a normal iPhone it’s not a great experience, I can’t hide the header or set smaller font sizes, settings for smaller screens would be much appreciated. But it’s still worth to buy

### 3/5 — A decent start

*2026-02-19, version 1.2.3*

Immediately ran into missing features that prevent me from using it: No support for F-keys (needed to scroll in byobu), doesn’t keep connections alive in the background. I hope it continues to improve because I like the concept!

### 3/5 — OpenSSH Key Not Working

*2026-02-18, version 1.2.3*

I just get a "Could not agree on encryption algorithms with the server". Basic ed25519 key that works on my Mac and Linux fine. Basic OpenSSH Server config in nixOS. I want to like this, but I can't even connect to my servers.

### 5/5 — Great dev support , love seeing responsive devs !

*2026-02-18, version 1.2.3*

Great to see new app!

### 4/5 — Ideal iOS SSH client!

*2026-02-17, version 1.2.3*

I’ve been searching a long time for a really pared back ssh client for iOS - most apps out there are way too featureful, too busy, cramming in a lot of junk into a mobile app of all things, etc. This app is perf if you just need to get in, run some commands, and get out. My only critique involves the command bar, I just need to be able to add more meta keys - three slots is a touch too few.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-07-22, version 1.3.2*

Bought this when the twitter/ x hype was there and dev was pushing constant updates, now it’s in a state of abandonment. The dev is probably doing the next big project, but leaving behind a broken app disappoints me and makes me clench my wallet next time I try to get something other than terminus lol.

### 1/5 — Most standard algorithms don’t work.

*2026-04-29, version 1.2.7*

Connection Failed
Connection failed: Could not agree on encryption algorithms with the server.
The server may require algorithms not supported by this app.

### 1/5 — Sessions die constantly

*2026-03-20*

absolutely unsuitable for working with agents

### 2/5 — Borderline Unusable

*2026-02-28, version 1.2.7*

When this application is not constantly crashing, terminating mid session, flipping between the current state of the terminal and something that happened minutes ago, forcing the user to back out of the terminals to change the settings because the option from within the terminal is broken, it’s great.

### 2/5 — Simple, polished

*2026-02-21, version 1.2.6*

Doesn't appear to support password protected ed25519 keys so it sadly doesn't work for most of my use cases.

### 2/5 — Lots of potential but very underwhelming

*2026-02-13, version 1.1.0*

Leaves a lot to be desired. Ssh key support is poor. Tmux support is poor. App is slow

### 3/5 — Really wanted to love this

*2026-07-06, version 1.3.2*

Mosh on my mac pro connect great, but the terminal experience is janky. Love that it was a one time purchase, but needs work.

The bad:

Can’t scroll backwards reliably, pls fix. Terminal ‘judders’ a lot.

Cant reduce font size below 10, which is still a bit too big for me.

The good:

Mosh works reliably, reconnects. SSH is less good, drops within a short time if you leave the app for a short while.

### 3/5 — Beta at the minute

*2026-06-15, version 1.3.2*

OK, it has Mosh, and no subscription, but you can't even scroll back in the terminal - needs some work

### 3/5 — 会闪退

*2026-06-01*

连接上后会在多次使用cd命令后闪退

### 3/5 — Move nav (arrow keys) at the middle

*2026-03-05*

All good but having the nav on right most position is awkward

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — 최고!!

*2026-07-10*

원격 SSH연결 후 AI Agent 사용하기에 최고의 앱!!!

### 5/5 — please add fullscreen mode

*2026-05-17*

please add fullscreen mode

### 5/5 — Love the experience

*2026-04-15, version 1.2.7*

Clean modern. Only thing I’m missing is SSH key forwarding.

### 5/5 — Excellent client

*2026-03-12*

Best way to use (lib)ghostty on iOS. Please consider adding ssh agent forwarding.

### 5/5 — Just perfect

*2026-03-10, version 1.2.7*

So simple, yet so powerful. Strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and usefulness.

### 5/5 — ios mic input

*2026-03-01*

This is very useful application, but I want to fix issue of  input with iOS native keyboard. After I talk to it, nothing inputs.

### 5/5 — Great terminal

*2026-03-01, version 1.2.7*

Great terminal nice work with lib ghossty it’s amazing work, would be nice if we could set custom ssh ports and also perhaps other commands and options.. this would help tremendously for non traditional setups.

### 5/5 — Please support the ed25519 key

*2026-02-27*

Please support the ed25519 key

### 5/5 — Great SSH client, but voice input and key combo issues

*2026-02-27*

Overall, this is a very easy-to-use app and I'm enjoying it. Zellij scrolling works without any issues, and Japanese input works smoothly as well.
I have two improvement requests:

1. Voice input doesn't work properly — it stops as soon as a single character is entered. Voice input works fine in the Claude Code app on the same device, so this seems to be an app-side issue rather than a device issue.

2. It would be great if three-key combinations like Ctrl+Shift+N were supported.

### 5/5 — Funciona muito bem

*2026-02-21*

Ja testei vários apps de ssh e esse me surpreendeu. Utilizei o combo tmux+neovim e funcionou perfeitamente. Ícones funcionam bem porque as fontes tem compatibilidade com nerd fonts, carácteres especiais funcionando e também utilizei um teclado externo que funcionou perfeitamente. Quando utilizo com teclado externo ele deixa a tela totalmente limpa. A única coisa que senti falta foi a possibilidade de modificar algumas teclas, como por exemplo mapear Caps Lock para ESC, fora isso é perfeito.
