### 4/5 — scroll context

*2026-03-15*

When connecting to an Ubuntu server via SSH and running Claude inside a tmux session, there is no scroll context available — I can’t scroll up or down with my finger.  
Outside tmux (running the same command directly), scrolling works perfectly.  
Please fix scroll behavior inside tmux sessions — this is important for working with interactive CLI tools like Claude or chat-based interfaces.

### 4/5 — AI输入框与颜色主题冲突的问题

*2026-01-28*

AI输入框的颜色主题没有跟随整体外观，当颜色主题设置为神色时，AI输入框是使用的系统外观，此时会导致输入的文字不可见。

### 5/5 — Phenomenal App!

*2025-11-12*

This app has saved me hundreds of hours of frustration!

I have a client that has dozens of devices that are supported via SSH that is multiple hops away, this app has made it one-tap to access any one of them from my Mac or phone. Snippets are awesome. Finder integration for remote hosts is a little finicky, but it is for other apps line Google Drive and One Drive so I don’t fault Shellbean.

### 5/5 — 命令延迟

*2025-11-07*

用了一段时间，感觉命令输入有点延迟，在一个就是back键删除命令时，如果删到底屏幕会闪一下+声音提示，是不是可以考虑删掉这个提示功能或者设置个开关，强迫症有点接受不了，目前没发现什么，总体来说挺好的，支持！

### 5/5 — good

*2025-11-04*

good

### 5/5 — macOS上最最好用的终端工具推荐给大家

*2025-11-03*

这是我用过的最好用的macOS终端工具，支持服务器状态监控，支持sftp，telnet，串口连接而且基础功能免费，太赞了！

### 5/5 — 一个小需求，希望采纳

*2025-10-26*

代码片段是一个好功能，可以摆脱经常输入重复指令。看能不能常驻在窗口的右边？当然，如果用不到也可以隐藏。像nex terminal一样。

### 5/5 — 新加的服务器不能应用设置里的字体和字体大小

*2025-10-24*

新加的服务器不能应用设置里的字体和字体大小希望能修复

### 5/5 — Overall good. Need some minor improvements

*2025-07-24*

Your application is best but it needs some improvement like there should be eye icon to view existing server password. On mobile it doesn’t show all servers only shows which are in overview.

### 5/5 — I believe improving usability in this area would be incredibly helpful.

*2025-06-30*

I believe improving usability in this area would be incredibly helpful.

As a paid user and a server cluster administrator. 
I’d really appreciate the addition of the following feature:

Currently, under [SERVER > SERVER GROUP > Context Menu > "Open Sessions"], each server is opened as a separate session

I suggest adding a new context menu option:
(ADD NEW1) SERVER > SERVER GROUP > Context Menu > "Open Sessions in TABs"
This would allow all servers within the server group to be opened within a single session, separated by tabs.

(ADD NEW2) SERVER > SERVER GROUP > Context Menu > "Open Sessions in SPLIT VIEW"
This would allow all servers within the server group to be opened in SPLIT VIEW

### 4/5 — 小组建问题

*2025-05-17*

ios18.3.1，服务器已经删除了，小组建里第一次可以选到新添加的机器，过10分钟去编辑小组建，中间添加的机器小组建不会更新，显示的数据不动，再次编辑显示的就是之前删除过的机器，新机器选不到

### 5/5 — The best

*2025-04-19*

Your app has evolved to be the best thank you love your fixes and features. Love bastion, snippets, docker etc

**Developer response:** 🙏🏻Thanks for your appreciation and feedback.👋 
This issue would be fixed at next update.

### 5/5 — 命令行输入延迟较高

*2025-03-30*

命令行输入延长比较高，不过也分情况，有的延迟还可以接收，有的则延迟3s以上，接受不了了。希望予以解决一下。

### 5/5 — 모바일 아이패드 맥에서까지 모두 사용가능해서 좋아요

*2025-02-24*

유료 지불하고 사용하는데 값어치 합니다.
무료로도 어느정도 기능 사용할수 있어요 
추천합니다.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t handle well SSH keys….

*2025-12-14*

Could be better.

### 1/5 — Overbugged

*2025-02-04*

Can’t add jumpservers, app froze, even with the pro version

### 1/5 — 严重怀疑这是个套皮软件

*2024-08-15*

连服务器一直提示密码错误，但同样的密码在terminal和Termius都能连上，严重怀疑这就是个套皮软件

**Developer response:** 可能支持密钥还不够全面，但是确保是用心开发的软件，请勿恶意揣测，有问题请联系 ninglester@gmail.com

### 2/5 — 实体键盘无法输入中文

*2026-02-05*

ipad连接蓝牙实体键盘后，无法输入英文以外的文字。（输入法切换失败）

### 3/5 — 温度显示错误，默认是APCI温度

*2026-04-17*

CPU温度显示错误，传感器读取不能自定义读取。

### 3/5 — cat一个大文件直接卡死

*2026-04-02*

cat一个大文件直接卡死，一个stdout很快输出流到文件通过tail -f直接卡闪退，终端性能太差了，希望能改进

### 3/5 — Unable to login after recent update

*2025-03-14*

I noticed that the icloud login keep coming up, because of it, I was unable to login after a recent update.

### 3/5 — good tool with weaknesses

*2024-10-28*

Sync via the cloud works well. But there are problems for developers. Do I want a pipe "|" on the mac? generate (Key Option   7 ) I get the output (arg: 7) in the shell, but no |

### 3/5 — 整体还算能用，但是存在一些bug

*2024-07-10*

希望改进ipad上面vim编辑文件时存在的bug：指针无法移动到一个字母，整体显示存在错行等。

**Developer response:** 您好，此问题已修复，您可以再试一下

### 4/5 — 整体很不错，希望尽快改进如下几点

*2026-03-26*

1.输入卡顿，特别是在iSO移动设备上。
2.工作中偶尔崩溃闪退。而且之前的Session无法恢复。
3.OpenCode界面内选择内容无法复制。

*2026-02-08*

Have been using this for years now, very good, great updates responsive app developer! Thank you!!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your support.
ProxyJump is useful, we will support this feature later.😎

### 5/5 — References

*2026-01-26*

I've been using it for a long time, but here's what I've come across. When switching from "All groups" to a specific group and connecting to a server from this group, disconnecting from the server, the group is reset to "All groups", you have to select the group again. I would like to use a system of nesting by catalogs, tags and color. For example, there is office1 and office2, they have routers, switches, servers. Grouping options: all routers of all offices, routers of a specific office. Tags, for example, nested tag: office1/router. Color: For example, everything is green on the server.

### 5/5 — 更新最新版本有问题

*2026-01-01*

更新最新版版终端类型与vim9.1.2000有冲突，打开vim报：Error detected while processing TermResponseAll Autocommands for "osc":
E46: Cannot change read-only variable "v:termrfgresp"
E46: Cannot change read-only variable "v:termrfgresp"切换vt100终端就没报错

### 5/5 — 为什么一直在后台占用

*2025-12-16*

手机是iOS16.5，软件版本是2.10.5，过一段时间就会出现这个app在后台一直运行的情况，滑掉卡片都解决不了，重启才能解决。不知道是系统bug还是软件问题。

### 5/5 — 非常好用，能使用键盘输入中文就完美了

### 5/5 — The Best Reliable SSH Client for iPhone and Mac

*2025-11-27*

ShellBean has honestly made my life a lot easier. I use it on my iPhone and Mac to jump through multiple SSH hops and it just works — no drama, fast, and stable.

What I actually use every day:

- The terminal gestures (single-tap and long-press) make cursor movement quick — no more tapping a dozen times.
- Snippets save me from repetitive typing; one tap and the job’s done.
- Multi-hop SSH and SSH key handling are reliable — I can reach servers behind bastions without juggling configs.
- The built-in editor is basic but perfect for quick fixes.
- The monitoring screens (CPU, memory, network, disk, even NVIDIA stats) are handy when I need to check a box quickly.

I bought Premium for split-screen terminals and logging. That was worth it for me because I often run commands on more than one server at once. iCloud sync keeps my servers and snippets the same across devices, which is a real timesaver.

Overall, solid, practical, and no-nonsense. If you manage servers from iOS or macOS, give ShellBean a try.

### 5/5 — s

*2025-11-23*

The best
