About

Pockterm is a native SSH and SFTP client built for iPhone. CONNECT - SSH into your servers with passwords or Ed25519/RSA keys - Trusted host-key verification warns you if a server's key ever changes - Multiple live sessions; minimize one and pick it back up from the tab bar MANAGE - Organize hosts into groups - Save reusable command snippets - Generate and store SSH keys in the iOS Keychain - Set up local and remote port forwards TRANSFER - Browse, upload, and download files over SFTP AI ASSISTANT (optional) - Ask an AI assistant about terminal output and get suggested commands - Bring your own API key: Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Hugging Face - Off by default; you're told which provider receives data before anything is sent PRIVACY - No account, no Pockterm servers, no tracking or analytics - Credentials and keys live in the iOS Keychain - Your connection data stays on your device

What's New in Pockterm

New • Bring a key you already have. Import an Ed25519 or RSA private key — pasted in, or picked from Files, with or without a passphrase — instead of generating one in Pockterm and adding it to every server by hand. • A Backspace key that repeats. Hold it on the key bar and it keeps deleting, instead of one character per tap. If you had customised the key bar before this key existed, it has been added to your layout. • Older servers connect. Pockterm now negotiates ssh-rsa host keys, group 14 key exchange and AES-CTR — often all that an unmaintained server or an appliance offers. Those connections used to fail outright, with nothing on screen to explain why. Fixed • An RSA server's fingerprint appears when you are asked to trust it. It used to show as "unknown" with no fingerprint at all — exactly when you need something to check.
