## What is SSHELL Terminal?

Run SSH, Mosh and tmux sessions from iPhone or iPad. SSHELL keeps saved hosts, live terminals, remote files and SSH keys in one native workspace.

Open several workspaces for one host. Attach existing tmux windows, create new windows and detach iPad terminals while each workspace stays tied to its host.

Browse and transfer remote files over SSH or Mosh. Generate or import SSH keys, check SHA-256 host fingerprints and protect supported credentials with Keychain.

Download SSHELL for free and use full access for 7 days. Lifetime access costs £2.99 as a one-time App Store purchase. Existing paid customers keep full access.

Key features:
- SSH, Mosh and Telnet connection profiles

- Multi-session saved hosts with distinct terminal workspaces
- tmux-aware host management for opening and creating windows inside configured tmux sessions
- iPad multiwindow, Split View and Stage Manager support
