Great App!

I love Shellfish—it’s just what I needed for my remote coding workflows. It works great, has all the necessary features, and has been quite consistent for my work. 10/10, would recommend!

Great tool for accessing over ssh

Great tool for accessing systems via SSH for files or terminal

The one client you need

I use ShellFish every day to log into remote sessions on Macs, Raspberry PI, or on Hetzner. Very convenient and dependable to check in on work that is running on tmux sessions, do things on the go, and amazing seamless integration with macOS by having my devices as a Finder location. Exemplary native Mac app.

Amazing

Just simple

Exceptionnel

Tellement complet !

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.

20 dollars for a effen plastic toy?

Feature-Packed and Well-Maintained

I highly recommend this app. It's one of the most feature-rich SSH clients in the App Store. It supports all the essential features, including special integrations with Bash/Zsh and Fish shells that offer unique file management features.

It also supports iCloud configuration sync, all modern key types including Secure Enclave, agent and port forwarding, and built-in support for tmux for persistent sessions with a single per-server toggle.

Unlike other SSH apps, you can buy a perpetual license for a very reasonable price. If you dislike subscriptions or annual licensing, this app is ideal and very well-priced for such a feature-packed SSH client.

So far does what I need it to do

Has given me more remote work options by running things from my phone when my computer isn’t available

Appliance-level utility

Everything I need from an ssh client and nothing I don’t. Been rocking steady for years with over a dozen connections synced with iCloud. Popup keys that are non-standard is a killer feature for shell navigation.

This app is awesome!!!

One session was enough for me to want to pay for the full version! Great work

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.

The best SSH client ever

This is the best SSH client in the App Store. Fast, beautiful design, polished, highly maintained, perfectly integrated with iOS and macOS!

dude

i love it

Best UX for an SSH app

Love the UX, easy to get set up. Pricing is reasonable. It’s really upped my tech game so no I can work when I’m away from the home - yay! Work work work

Must have for nerds like me

Waiting too long to buy this great app! iPadOS 26 makes using my iPad Pro for development tasks much easier and with that it’s time to have a proper terminal emulator on my system. The level of integration and syncing across my devices is killer - great work!

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.

Perfect SSH Client for iPad

Get this and don’t look back… It’s everything you’d need for SSH access. Have no complaints.

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.

Does a very specific job well

SSH isn’t really a complicated thing, and this app makes it easier.
