The SSH client that feels like it was made by Apple.
Moray is a native SSH, SFTP, and terminal client for iPhone, iPad, and Mac — with a real terminal, a dual-pane file manager, port-forwarding tunnels, and on-device key security. Your hosts and snippets sync through your own iCloud; your keys and passwords never leave the Keychain. No account, no vendor server.
▸ A REAL TERMINAL
A full terminal powered by SwiftTerm — rich color, a fast keyboard, and smooth scrollback. Open several sessions as tabs, name them, switch with ⌘1–⌘9, search the scrollback, and run commands automatically on connect. Moray remembers what you typed on each server — never a password — so you can search it and re-run. A customizable Smart Bar puts arrows, Esc, Tab, Ctrl, and paste one tap away.
▸ SFTP FILE MANAGER
Browse, upload, download, rename, and delete over SFTP. A server opens in your home directory and reopens in the folder you left it in. Preview with Quick Look, edit text files in place, or choose which app opens which file type — one default for everything, or a rule per extension. On iPad and Mac, a dual-pane manager copies files and whole folders between servers — or between a server and your computer — with drag and drop straight from Finder, and a file pane can sit beside the terminal, on the folder your shell is in.
▸ YOUR SERVERS IN THE FILES APP
On iPhone and iPad, mount a host and it appears in Files next to iCloud Drive — open a remote file straight into any app that uses the document picker, and save back to it.
▸ PORT-FORWARDING TUNNELS
Forward a local port to a database, dashboard, or service behind your server. Import the LocalForward lines from your existing ~/.ssh/config, start every tunnel with one tap, and keep them running in the background with a Live Activity.
▸ KEYS DONE RIGHT
Generate or import Ed25519 and RSA keys. Keys and saved passwords live in the device Keychain — encrypted, biometric-gated, and never synced unless you opt in. Trust-on-first-use host-key pinning warns you the moment a server's identity changes.
▸ SMART AUTOFILL
Moray recognizes sudo, login, passphrase, and one-time-code prompts and offers a host-scoped, Face ID–gated fill — so you enter your password once, not every time.
▸ ORGANIZED HOSTS
Group your servers, tag them, and give each an icon and color. A ⌘K command palette and Siri Shortcuts get you connected in seconds. Jump hosts (ProxyJump) reach servers that sit behind a bastion.
▸ SNIPPETS
Save the commands you run all the time — with fill-in placeholders — and run or paste them into any session.
▸ MAKE IT YOURS
Start from built-in terminal themes or design your own with a full color editor. Choose your font, size, and cursor style.
▸ SYNC, YOUR WAY
Hosts, groups, snippets, and host keys sync across your devices through your own iCloud — no Moray account, ever. Key material stays device-local unless you explicitly turn on iCloud Keychain sync.
▸ APPLE-NATIVE THROUGHOUT
Widgets for your recent hosts, Siri and Spotlight, a menu-bar and keyboard-driven Mac app, a biometric app lock, and JSON backup/restore. Built with SwiftUI for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
