## What is SSH Term X?

SSH into your server from your phone. No need to open your laptop.
SSH Term is a terminal client designed for serious SSH work on mobile.

WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE SSH TERM
・Generate keys in-app and register them on your server instantly
・Browse and manage remote files with built-in SFTP support
・SSH connections stay alive in the background
・Auto-reconnect on network loss
・Connect to multiple servers with tabs

THREE AUTH METHODS
・Password authentication
・Public key authentication (file-based or in-app generated)
・Keyboard-interactive authentication

IN-APP KEY GENERATION — SET UP IN SECONDS
Generate Ed25519 (recommended), RSA 2048, or RSA 4096 key pairs directly in the app. Copy the public key to clipboard with one tap and paste it into your server's authorized_keys. No PC needed — complete the entire public key auth setup from your phone.

SFTP FILE BROWSER
Browse files on your connected server without leaving the app. Navigate directories, inspect files, rename, and delete. Sort by name, size, or date. Toggle hidden files with one tap.

FILE PREVIEW WITH SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING
Preview 40+ languages — Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Rust, Dart, Shell, and more — with full syntax highlighting. Check code on your remote server on the spot and copy any section to clipboard. On tablets, a two-pane layout shows the file list and preview side by side.

BACKGROUND KEEP-ALIVE
SSH connections stay alive even when the app moves to the background. Long-running builds or deployments keep going while you switch to other apps.

AUTO-RECONNECT
Automatically reconnects on network loss (up to 3 attempts with exponential backoff). Handles Wi-Fi to mobile data transitions seamlessly while you're on the move.

MULTI-TAB SESSIONS
Manage multiple SSH connections in tabs. Connect to your dev server in one tab while monitoring production logs in another.

INPUT ASSIST TOOLBAR
One-tap special keys: Ctrl+C, Tab, Escape, arrow keys, F1–F12, Home/End/PageUp/PageDown. Full terminal control without a physical keyboard.

BOOKMARKS
Save frequently visited directories and files per host. Jump to your project root or log directory with a single tap.

TEXT SELECTION & CLIPBOARD
Drag to select, double-tap for word selection, long-press for range selection. Copy terminal output and share it easily.

CONNECTION PROFILES
Save server credentials and connect with a single tap. All credentials are encrypted and stored securely.

8 TERMINAL THEMES
Dracula, Nord, Tokyo Night, Monokai, Solarized Dark, Gruvbox, Catppuccin Mocha, and One Dark. Pick one that suits your style or the moment.

RICH FONT SELECTION
10 monospace fonts including Fira Code, JetBrains Mono, and Source Code Pro. Adjustable font size and line height.

SECURITY
・Encrypted credential storage
・Secure SSH key management
・Protected sensitive data via secure storage

### 2/5 — 文字入力全般が使いにくい。

*2026-08-17*

クリップボードからのコピペがかなり使いにくい。他アプリではターミナル上を長押しするとiPhoneのコピーや貼り付けのメニューが出るが、本アプリはそれが無い。アプリ内の選択ボタンを押した上で貼り付けを押さなければならない。しかも縦画面だとその貼り付けボタンも見切れている。
あと、入力カーソルも移動できないので後から文章を挿入しにくい。
日本語IMEに対応している点は良い。

### 5/5 — やっとフィットするターミナルアプリに出会えました

*2026-07-09*

これまで複数のターミナル系アプリを使ってきましたが、これは一番しっくりきました。
海外系のターミナルアプリは、IMEで遅延が発生したり、濁音が顔文字になったりなど、ストレスフルでした。このアプリでは問題なし。IMEモードで。これが良いですね。
Claudeを使っていて、上下スクロールすることが多いですが、スクロールもスムーズ。スクロールモードを使えば。
Ctrlなど様々なキーを多用しますが、それらのカスタマイズも楽。
tmux連携も良い感じ。
母艦のMacに繋いでいつでも開発してますが、やっとフィットするターミナルアプリに出会えて良かったです。
値段もリーズナブルで、何倍もする海外アプリよりよほど気に入りました。開発に感謝です。

### 4/5 — 日本語入力問題を解決してくれる唯一のsshクライアント

*2026-05-23*

タイトルの通りです。uiもシンプルで良く、気に入ってます。
今後に期待したい点。
一画面内で、複数クライアント立ち上げれるようにして欲しいです。
もしくはアプリ自体の複数同時起動サポートして欲しいです。

### 5/5 — 自分の中ではこれ現状これが一択

*2026-03-26*

とにかく無駄がなく使いやすいです。
スマホからClaude Codeなりを触る開発手段にハマっているので色々試しているのですがこれに落ち着きそう。
他にもCCに特化したアプリやweb uiがありますがやはりターミナルで触りたくなりますね。

バグで一度開けなくなってしまって、インストールし直して解決。設定が飛んでしまったのが少し惜しい。

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます。
ターミナルでスムーズにClaude Codeを触るために開発したのでうれしいです！
扱いには気を付ける必要がございますが、鍵ペアを暗号化したうえでバックアップする機能も追加しておりますので、万が一の際にはお使いいただけますと幸いです。
