What's New in SSH Client

2026.26

July 16, 2026

The server list now has a selection mode. Start it from the (...) button to pick multiple servers, then move the whole selection to a group, delete it, export it, or open a new terminal that runs a shared command across every selected server. You can now generate and import SSH keys directly from the pop-up menu used to pick an SSH key for a server. Keyboard Shortcut Change The Type Sentence shortcut is now Command-Shift-E (previously Command-E).

Great application

cool stuff~

Very useful and productive

Even the free version is pretty great on its own. Love the app, have been using it for a while along with owlfiles on i15 and now I don’t feel like opening laptop anymore. The AI agents are accessible via terminal and there is an option to persist sessions with tmux

Exceptionnel

Tellement complet !

Shell, yeah!

Picked this up after getting into the homelab rabbit hole. A couple Raspberry Pis running various services plus a Debian box as the main hub. I needed something I could pull up on my phone to SSH in and poke around without hauling out a laptop, and this has been exactly that. I use it on my MacBook Air, iPad Air, and iPhone, and it syncs your hosts and keys across all three, so I'm not re-adding the same Pi three separate times.

The SFTP side is just as useful as the terminal. Being able to browse and grab files off the Pi straight from Files on my phone saves me a ton of round trips. It's a one-time purchase rather than a subscription, and given how much I've used it just this week troubleshooting a stuck printer setup on one of my Pis, it's already paid for itself.

One thing worth knowing: to actually reach your devices from outside your home network you'll need something like Tailscale set up alongside it, this isn't a standalone remote access solution on its own. I've only used it on my home network so far and it's been great there, testing it out and about is next on my list.
