About
Paneshell is an SSH terminal (SSH client) for iPhone and iPad. Connect to your Mac or Linux server over SSH and work inside tmux sessions. It is designed for driving terminal-based AI coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex while you're away from your desk. You can also see and control your Mac's screen: a remote desktop over VNC Screen Sharing.
■ Built around tmux
・Automatically attaches to your chosen tmux session when you connect, creating it and running a startup command if needed
・Pick a session from the home screen, and end sessions you no longer need with a long press
・Switch windows with tabs, and split panes or change layouts from the menu
・Resize split panes with arrows while looking at a layout diagram (with 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 buttons)
・Scroll back through tmux history with a swipe or page buttons, then tap or type to return
・Reconnects automatically when you return to the app
・Reads your prefix key (such as Ctrl-A) from the server's settings
■ Made for AI agents
・Extra key bar with esc, tab, ctrl, shift, alt, arrow keys, Enter, and delete. Reorder keys and choose which side the arrows go on
・An fn key for F1–F12, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, and more
・Save prompts and commands as snippets and send them with one tap, or review and edit them in an input field before sending
・Sends long text with bracketed paste, so it arrives intact
・ctrl → Enter sends a waiting message in Claude Code right away ("send now")
・Send photos and screenshots to the server to show them to your AI agent
・Send files from Files to the server and insert their paths into the terminal (up to 50 MB)
・Open images made by AI agents straight from the paths shown on screen
・See usage percentages and reset times for Claude Code and Codex used in this session
■ Control your Mac's screen (remote desktop over VNC; Pro, 3 free trial uses)
・See and control your Mac's screen through its built-in Screen Sharing over an SSH tunnel (no relay servers)
・Tap to click, pinch to zoom, scroll with two fingers, or switch to Trackpad mode
・Type in English or Japanese, and favor image quality or speed
・Works with iPad trackpads and hardware keyboards
・Needs Screen Sharing and a VNC password on your Mac
■ Text editing that feels like iPhone
・Tap in the input line to move the cursor, or long press to place it with a magnifier and paste
・Long press or double-tap to select text, adjust it with the handles, and copy
・The keyboard appears only when you want it
■ Authentication
・Public key authentication (ED25519 / ECDSA P-256, Secure Enclave support, key import)
・Password authentication (choose whether to save it)
・Tailscale SSH (including browser check-in)
・Private keys and passwords are stored in the Keychain and can be protected with Face ID. You can also lock the whole app with Face ID
■ Easy to read
・Full support for Japanese text
・Showing the keyboard doesn't change the terminal size, so tmux and apps don't break
