Ben

Awesome, use it daily for remote access and coding

El mejor y más robusto

Es el mejor y más robusto manteniendo las conexiones. Tienes que darle a una opción para que iOS lo deje como app de fondo si no quieres que se corte pronto al salirse un momento de la app. Prácticamente no necesitas mosh con esta app

Solo echo de menos que no desaparezca el teclado al tocar la pantalla y que tuviera una resolución de nombres independiente de la del sistema. Útil si usas Pihole

Great SSH client — very polished and almost perfect.

The only thing I’d love to see is support for Shift JIS encoding. That would make it perfect!

Hi, Support soon for mlkem761x25519-sha256. Thanks

Amazing for working on a remote computer.

This is the best app for ssh. Mapping gestures to tmux controls changed my life!!!

It’s great

I tried to activate the dictation feature but it duplicates the input hope this can be solved in a future update

OSC52 is not supported…

I like this client for being lightweight and fast. However, the lack of OSC 52 clipboard support makes it unusable for my SSH/tmux/Neovim workflow (keyboard-based copying). I have requested a refund. Are there plans to support this standard escape sequence? For reference, this test fails in Shelly:
printf "\033]52;c;$(printf "Hello Shelly" | base64)\a"

Nice ssh client

Simple, just works.

The best SSH client for iOS

Been using this for years and I’ve tried all the popular alternatives. I have a current subscription for Termius and Prompt 3 but nothing beats the usability of Shelly. Somehow those expensive apps can’t get the keyboard right. My only wish is that the developer would switch to subscription pricing and use the money to fund more development. It would be really cool if it could do secure enclave keys and mosh connections. But as it is I’m very happy and anyone leaving negative reviews for this when it’s a cheap one-off purchase and the competition are all subscriptions is an idiot.

Ok terminal

But seems to be missing one essential feature, I can’t change the font.

Terminal Greatness

Basic and perfect

Nice app

Macht einen guten Eindruck

Ich bin noch am testen. Erste Eindruck ist gut. 5 Sterne, da kein Abo Modell genutzt wird.

Excellent!

And very customisable.

Does it support SSH acess to SFTP? That's perfect!

It is fast, reliable and easy/pleasant to use. Thanks!

Best ssh app

The best ssh app for iPad - lightweight and no bloat. It's a pity that it hasn't been updated for a long time. I hope the author hasn't abandoned the app.

Not fully featured

I paid for the Pro upgrade. It does not even allow me to scroll using touchpad using a iPad Magic Keyboard. It does not allow me to use the cursor of the magic keyboard to select text, and does not allow me to do Cmd+C to copy said text. So if I’m hashing a password in argon2id format for example, I am unable to copy the long string by selecting it on the terminal output. The develop needs to make this more compatible with input devices other than touchscreen, it needs to make it work more like the native Terminal app on macOS Sequoia. I am unhappy with the application because a terminal app is for power users and this lacks functions I’m used to on macOS. Did the developer not consider that it can be installed on the iPad and that iPads are almost on par with MacBook Pros now? The iPad Pro I paid over £1000 for is more expensive than a Mac Mini or even a MacBook Air, it has a M4 processor too, so the developer needs to wake up and build this app with more features because right now it’s useless for my needs as a “Pro” user.
