About
Shellkite is an SSH terminal and SFTP client for iPhone and iPad. Connect to your own servers, move files and manage SSH keys without creating an account.
TERMINAL
• Sign in with a password, a private key or keyboard-interactive one-time codes, including a key followed by a code
• The server's identity is checked before any credentials are sent; a changed host key is refused
• Keyboard bar with Ctrl, Alt, Esc, Tab and arrow keys, plus bracketed paste
• Font size from 10 to 28 points and a Readable output mode
FILES (SFTP)
• Browse folders, upload from Files and download to Files
• Rename, create folders and delete
• Transfers run one at a time in a visible queue; replacing an existing file always asks first
• Unfinished uploads are listed so you can check them on the server
SSH KEYS
• Generate Ed25519 keys
• Import OpenSSH Ed25519 and RSA (2048–8192 bit) keys, encrypted or not
• Share public keys and export private keys encrypted
• Saved passwords and keys stay in device-only Keychain and need Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode on each use
PRIVACY
• No Shellkite account, analytics or tracking
• App lock with Face ID, Touch ID or passcode, and a privacy cover in the app switcher
• Preview a diagnostics report before exporting it, and delete all local data from Settings
