### 5/5 — This is how a net gen network ssh console app should be done! Other apps need to watch out!

*2026-07-25*

So I just recently found this app. I’ve been in wireless networking and all in the Apple ecosystem for years. This application is bringing the best to ssh and console connectivity for network engineers. Where to start, first off iOS iPadOS support of the USB-C to Serial Redpark cable has been largely ignored by many apps on the MAS. They support ssh but not console connectivity. This one does both amazingly. I’ve tested on iPhone, iPad, and Mac and its working great. Second is the support for iCloud sycning, another ignored segment but Konsol is doing a great job with this support. This is one of the problems I have with Terminus, they force you to use their cloud solution which makes me nervous. Here I have the choice which is so important. The tools suite added to the app is a well-executed way of putting Konsol above the others in the same space. The tools are actually USEFUL! The UI is great, which I feel apps like SecureCRT are just lacking. The developer support is so great and listens to the customer base. Finally when I look at the subscription model, and against others in the same space I believe the developer is balancing it very well. I’m excited to see this app here and recommend it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.80 — 2026-08-08

Profile folders - collapse your connection groups with a tap, and SFTP connections can now be grouped too.
Per-connection Face ID / Touch ID lock - require authentication every time a specific session opens, set per profile.
Session logs - new "New File Each Session" option creates a datestamped log file per session so nothing is overwritten. Session Logs is now available from the Tools grid — no open session needed, and the log list and viewer are easier to navigate.
Clearer sync status: the cloud icon now shows when Apple iCloud sync is active, even with Konsol Cloud off.
Bug fixes and polish.

### 1.63 — 2026-07-30

What's New in Konsol 1.62

Session Logging (Pro) — Save everything you type and every response to a per-connection log file. Turn on auto-logging in a connection profile (with timestamps and append/overwrite options), or start it anytime from the session Tools menu. Review, search, and share logs in-app — perfect for keeping a record of what happened or sending a clean transcript to Cisco TAC. Logs sync via iCloud Drive across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Path Monitor (Pro) — New network tool that finds where a connection is slow or dropping. Continuously traces the route to a host and pings every hop along the way, with live latency graphs, per-hop loss, a timeframe filter, and a shareable report.

Clearer syncing — Konsol's encrypted cross-device sync is now called Konsol Cloud, with its own icon so it's no longer confused with Apple's iCloud. A new "How syncing works" explainer covers both, plus guidance for switching between them safely. Konsol Cloud is free for everyone.

Fixes

Terminal now reliably stays pinned to the bottom while a device scrolls output
