Best SSH terminal emulator and Files integration
I used to use Secure Shellfish as just an SFTP file access client, but somehow it also evolved into the best SSH terminal emulator on iOS/iPadOS. The developer is top-notch and puts out the most amazing features that I didn’t even think of, but end up using all the time. The tmux integration is superb. The iOS Files integration is absolute magic, and the way the app’s SSH works so well makes it feel like I’m getting two great products in one.
The developer also makes Working Copy, the absolute best Git client for iOS/iPadOS, which I also use every day.

Very good app
I used this app to access my server and fix things when on the go (with my phone) and it worked flawlessly. I really like the pricing model where you pay one time for the currently available features.
Great for AI
I love using SecureShellFish to access my laptop 's numerous Openai codex sessions over tmux
Fantastic
A great product and a great value
Very Useful
Using and appreciating it daily
Far and away the best Mac/iOS app in this category
Full disclosure, prior to this year’s emergence of AI harnesses the majority of my exposure to SSH (and Terminal) was superficial, my use case for this now is primarily as a means to operate my home server. I tried a few apps and initially bought Prompt 3 as I love Panic’s work but the app was a little too basic (and prioritises terminal emulation – and my mistake was I’d conflated “Terminal” and “SSH”). As I became more comfortable with ssh/term and developed my system I eventually wanted something which worked with Moshi and TMUX. ShellFish meets those needs and brings full Apple ecosystem coverage across macOS and iOS. It’s jam packed with features (don’t sleep on the Files integration) yet presents a very simple and “Mac-assed” experience with thoughtful affordances which ease onboarding without hiding the massive headroom of capabilities it makes available.

Finally shared shells with Mac!
I live that I can now use the same terminal client with all my bookmarks seamlessly between ios and macOS.
Top app!
☝️👍
SEPULCHRAVE
Very good companion app for the IOS
Does what it says and does it well
I have been able to use this instead of moshi or blink any of the other fancy new ones. Just this plus herdr got me through two weeks of holiday on only two iPads. It’s simple and good.
I do wish the dev would implement mosh.
And I hope he implements rex when mitchellh drops it. Otherwise no complaints for now.

Handy SSH app, works great!
I use this often to SSH in to my home servers, both at home and remotely via Tailscale. It is easy to set up different profiles, eg to unlock LUKS for remote reboots.
Perfeito
Excelente. Essencial para qualquer um com homelab
Amazing!
It lets me monitor tasks from my remote setup, and still get work done while laying in my bed next to pets and partner. Priceless.
Great Terminal Emulator!!
Love the convenience of being able to do my admin work from anywhere, including sitting in bed at 3:00 AM! 🛌😊
Love it
Very handy. Saved me quite a few times
My Go-To SSH client
I've tried all of them, and ShellFish is the only one that I have stuck with. The tmux integration makes it possible to work remotely with the same convenience as at my desk.
Excellent. Period.
Another reviewer said ShellFish is something Apple would design & make. I disagree as this is far better. So many small but thoughtful touches that truly and elegantly speed up my workflow and productivity. ShellFish and Working Copy (by the same developer) are also wonderfully and smoothly integrated with Apple’s Files App. I now have no remaining reason to have a MacBook. Best bit of work I’ve seen in a long time.

Awesome app with a creative name
Absolutely a pro client app with a lot of features that surprises you on a iPhone.
Like the name too BTW, very creative.

Switched over from Termius and wish I had switched earlier.
A wonderful app
Shellfish provides the perfect combination of features for my needs. It’s simple to use, fast to set up, and available on both iOS and MacOS. It’s just great
