About
A real SSH terminal for iPhone and iPad.
Shebang speaks the actual SSH protocol — no relay servers, no accounts, no
middleman. Your phone connects straight to your machine, and nothing about
that connection ever touches us.
FULL TERMINAL, NOT A COMMAND BOX
A complete xterm-256color terminal, so the tools you already use look right:
vim, htop, tmux, nano, less, systemctl, colored ls output and progress bars
all render properly. 10,000 lines of scrollback, pinch to resize, and a key
accessory row that puts esc, ctrl, tab, arrows, pipe and the F-keys one tap
away instead of buried behind three keyboard layers.
AI THAT KNOWS WHAT YOU MEANT
Describe what you want and get the command back. Paste an error and get an
explanation. Paste 200 lines of log and get a summary. It runs entirely on
your device — your commands, your output and your server names are never
sent anywhere.
Nothing runs on its own: a suggested command lands at your prompt for you to
read and press Return yourself.
SFTP, BUILT IN
Browse the remote filesystem, create folders, download a file to your phone
or upload one from it — over the same connection, no second tool.
CONNECTIONS THAT STAY PUT
Save as many hosts as you like. Passwords go in the iOS Keychain, encrypted
and never leaving the device. Host keys are pinned on first connect, and if
one ever changes you get a real warning with both fingerprints instead of a
silent reconnect.
Drop a Quick Connect widget on your Home Screen and a saved host is one tap
from the lock screen.
MADE FOR THE iPAD TOO
Proper split view: your connection list beside a full-size terminal, with
hardware keyboard support.
FIVE THEMES
Default Dark, Solarized Dark, Solarized Light, Dracula and Nord, with an
adjustable font size and a live preview.
ALSO INSIDE
• Searchable command history across sessions
• Dictation, for when typing flags on glass is miserable
• Automatic reconnect when the network drops or you switch apps
• Speak a command instead of typing it
PRIVACY
No accounts. No analytics. No ads. No servers of ours in the path. The app
collects nothing, and the AI features run on-device.
REQUIREMENTS
Runs on iOS 18 and later. The AI features need iOS 26 and an
Apple Intelligence-capable device; everything else works without them.
