### 5/5 — So clean and fast.

*2026-09-28, version 26.9.1*

I love this app. Put could you add more feature for terminal so I can use Claude code when I SSH? Like scroll up or down. And paste images or files? Thanks!

### 1/5 — Ssh Terminal… what a joke

*2026-09-08, version 26.8.2*

Calls itself an SSH terminal, but only if you pay them for the premium. Thought it was going to be a decent AIO app so I didn’t have to switch between ssh client and server processes. But I’ll stick to what I got or find an alternative rather than being scammed by a paywall for something in an app’s name.

### 5/5 — Everything works great — really convenient app! 👍

*2026-08-17*

It would be perfect if you could add a built-in file manager for servers, allowing users to browse files and folders, upload/download files, and, if possible, edit text files directly in ServerCat.
That would make the app almost all-in-one for server management.

### 5/5 — 功能优化

*2026-07-18, version 26.7.2*

主机列表可以支持排序嘛，目前状态侧是可以排序的。然后如果支持排序的话我觉得“主机”和“状态”能共用一个排序就好了，不然也会觉得有点割裂

### 3/5 — no scroll bar or scroll support while using ssh

*2026-07-08*

You can’t scroll you screen to see the history output/operation in ssh. This sucks

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-06-12, version 1.35.0*

Works great and easily connect to a number of servers.  Copying text or urls could be better.

### 5/5 — If you manage multiple devices, you need this app	- now with support for macOS!

*2026-06-09*

I’ve been a fan of ServerCat for a long time. It’s a fantastic tool for monitoring *NIX hosts, and with support for ssh keys and a built-in ssh client, it provides a frictionless monitor to manage cycle. In fact, my only complaint was that macOS wasn’t supported (understandable, since it requires a fundamentally different monitoring mechanism). That’s changed with this most recent release. macOS is now supported! Outstanding work ServerCat team. Thanks for continuing to support and improve the app. Six stars!

### 5/5 — Absolutes Must-Have für Server-Betreiber

*2026-06-03*

Selten auf Anhieb von einer App so begeistert. Für alle Server-Betreiber eine richtig geile mobile Lösung! ❤️

### 5/5 — Incrível

*2026-05-24*

Esse aplicativo atendeu tudo que eu preciso para monitorar meus servidores. Testando a mais de 2 meses nunca tive problemas

### 4/5 — sftp file  supported

*2026-05-22, version 1.34.2*

Server file management is not supported. Only shell
