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.

Excellent! No Complaints

Works very well, polished. I’ll update if any issues arise.

Very good

Use it every day, no complaints.

Excellent SSH Client

I’ve used a couple of other SSH clients on my iPad, including some very highly regarded ones, and this one is easily the best I’ve used. It’s reliable, has some very nice-to-have more advanced features like scrolling and copy/paste, and doesn’t have annoying paper cuts like pop-ups that obstruct your view when using an external keyboard.

Love the file searching

just got this love to be able to look at all my files using the iPhone folder application

Wonderful App!

This app works great between iOS and Mac OS for quickly transitioning between devices. Works great for developing on the go with LLMs.

Great Option for SSH Sessions

I find this to be as good as some way overpriced options. I’ve also been glad to see that it’s maintained fairly rapid updates. I ran into a couple of crashes early in my usage that seem to have been resolved since.

great for sshing

over all this is a great app to ssh from the iphone. pair it with Runestone for text editing and the terminal world is your oyster! i'm really glad ShellFish exists.

From a long time user

A very useful app I use daily. The developer responded extremely quickly to a problem I was having. Recommended!

Nice functional utility

Grateful to be able to ssh into servers from my iPad.

You’re seriously missing out

If you do any type of remote anything shellfish is a must have. I have a few clients I use but shellfish gets used 80% of the time across devices. Has the feature I need. Everything stays in sync. Can’t recommend it enough.

Great tool for accessing over ssh

Great tool for accessing systems via SSH for files or terminal

Love this app

Very useful to run Claude Code, Codex, and nvim on my Mac and Linux servers. I pair it with Tailscale.

Solid!!

Never surprises me and unlike competitors it can store keys and configs on my iCloud. MacBook? iPhone? Even iPad? NO PROBLEM!!

Very Useful

This has been a worthwhile tool both for SFTP and SSH usage.

It just works

Does everything I need reliably, fantastic syncing between iOS and macOS. Great for people who manage many remote servers

It’s really good

I love that you can save commands that you use regularly so you don’t have to be typing them all the time. It just runs and very easy to use.
