About

Tunnel is a full SSH client for iPhone and iPad. Connect to your servers, open a real terminal, move files over SFTP, and keep long-running work alive, all from your pocket. Built for developers, sysadmins, and anyone who lives on the command line, Tunnel is a fast, native terminal with the tools you actually reach for. SECURE BY DESIGN - Password and SSH key authentication (Ed25519, ECDSA P-256 and P-384) - Connect through a jump host or bastion with a single setting - Face ID locks your saved hosts and credentials - Everything stays on your device. No account, no cloud, no tracking. A REAL TERMINAL - Full-color xterm-256color terminal with ANSI support - Command history, macros, and a snippet library you can export and share across devices - Control, arrow, and special-character key rows above the keyboard - Pinch to zoom the font and pick from built-in themes - Select and copy any output, or share the whole session log FILES OVER SFTP - Browse the remote filesystem in a clean file browser - Open and edit text and config files right in the app, then save back over SFTP - Download and share files STAY CONNECTED - tmux-backed persistent sessions survive network drops, so you reconnect exactly where you left off - Automatic keepalive and one-tap reconnect - A live latency graph shows connection quality at a glance MORE - Split terminal to watch two servers side by side - Port forwarding for tunneling local services - Organize hosts into groups with color tags - Quick Connect for one-off sessions - Open ssh:// and tunnel:// links straight from other apps Tunnel feels at home on iOS and iPadOS, with a clean dark interface and thoughtful keyboard handling. Whether you are restarting a service at 2am or checking logs on the train, your servers are one tap away. No subscriptions. No accounts. Just SSH, done right.

What's New in TunnelSHH

1.1

September 17, 2026

A real terminal, and your servers' identities checked every time. Saved hosts, keys and snippets carry straight over. • Try it without a server. There is now a demo server built into the app: a working shell, a file browser and port forwards, all running on the device with nothing sent to a network. Turn it off in Settings once you have added your own machines. • A real terminal. vim, htop, tmux, less and full colour, with cursor keys and shell history that just work. Search the scrollback, copy any of it, share a session log. • Host keys are pinned. The first connection records each server's key; if it ever changes, Tunnel stops and shows you both fingerprints before you decide. Review or forget them under Trusted Hosts. • Passphrase-protected keys, plus P-384 and P-521. Import a key file, or generate an Ed25519 key on the phone and paste the public half into authorized_keys. Test Connection checks a host before you save it. • Port forwards per host, all three kinds: local (-L), remote (-R) and a SOCKS proxy (-D). Mark them to start on connect. • SFTP grew up: files of any size with progress, rename, delete, new folders, upload from Files or Photos, and Save to Files. • Encrypted backup. Export hosts, credentials, snippets and trusted keys to a passphrase-protected file, and restore on a new phone. Nothing goes to a cloud. • Siri and Shortcuts: "SSH into my server with Tunnel". Long-press the icon for your recent hosts. Every one of these waits behind Face ID. • Snippets with {{placeholders}} that ask for values when you send them. • Search your host list; swipe to connect, edit, duplicate or delete. • Cursor styles, themes that colour ls and git too, and a Reduce Motion-friendly splash. • Your hosts and credentials now live in the iOS Keychain. Fixed • Quick Connect no longer throws you out when a connection drops; it keeps the terminal and offers Reconnect. • SFTP used to cut files off at 1 MB and could write the cut copy back. It doesn't any more. • Some OpenSSH private keys were rejected because of a one-byte parsing slip. If Tunnel is earning its keep, it may ask you once for a rating, never while you are in a session. "Don't ask again" means it. Not in this version: RSA keys and keyboard-interactive login. The SSH library Tunnel uses doesn't offer them; Ed25519 keys are the recommended alternative.
