What's New in WebSSH

32.6

August 9, 2026

٩(^‿^)۶ WebSSH has been updated Its codename is : 32.6 - Comet (Aphelion) So what's new in this release? ↓ /!\ Developer Tip /!\ WebSSH PRO is, and will always be, a one-time lifetime purchase. A few users have told me they'd like to contribute more than the one-time price. So there's now an option to leave a small voluntary tip (monthly or yearly). As a thank-you, supporters unlock a few digital goodies: mini games and other delightfully useless things ;oD On a more personal note: over the next few months I'll be dedicating a lot more time to WebSSH. My hope is to eventually make it my main livelihood — but never at your expense. WebSSH has been going for over a decade, and it's not stopping either way. So the promise stands, and it isn't going anywhere: PRO is bought once, kept forever. Tipping is entirely optional, and always will be. (＾◡＾) (Please note that you can only leave a tip if you have already purchased WebSSH PRO) — Arnaud ◖ Release Adds ◗ ๏ Network scanner add hostname information : #1655 ๏ Keyboard Accessory Layout Editor : #1649 ๏ Key combo : Shift + TAB : #1513 ◖ Release Fixes ◗ ๏ Put our icons back again! ๏ Fix CPU gauge Proxmox ๏ Possible crash fix when launching a connection ๏ Proxmox Tool: Cursor Marker In Graphs Not Aligned: #1661 Have a great day!

Fabuleux

Simple et efficace. Pour MacOS, je pouvais trouver d’autres alternatives pour ce genre d’applications. Mais pour ce qui est de iPadOS et iPhoneOS, peu font réellement l’affaire. Avec cet outil, même payant, vaut largement l’investissement pour des installations sur plusieurs appareils. Ça, c’est vraiment LE point fort de cette application. Tous mes serveurs sont gérés à partir de n’importe quels appareils que j’aurais en main… MacOS, iPadOS, et même iPhoneOS, où que je sois, cela devient accessible…. Top appli…👍

Response from developer

🇫🇷 Bonjour Humanoide70 👋 Merci beaucoup pour votre superbe avis ! ⭐️ Vous avez parfaitement résumé l'esprit de WebSSH : un seul achat pour tous vos appareils (iPhone, iPad et Mac) avec le même identifiant Apple. Vos serveurs vous suivent partout, où que vous soyez ! Merci de soutenir mon travail de développeur indépendant 💕 Passez une excellente journée ☀️ Arnaud

Terrific little SSH program

This nice program is intelligently designed and it’s also nice that WebSSH is actually freeware. Thanks to that random developer who created this most convenient program for all of us VPS users and other terminal aficionados.

Great App

This is my goto app for ssh on my phone or MacBook. The tools like ping are very nice addition as well!

Good App — Could we get Files integration?

This app is excellent, it just works! Does its job well. I have noticed that there are apps which allow for integrating SFTP files into the iPhone Files app, so that servers can be accessed as though they were local files. I would love to see this feature in WebSSH! (unless it already is?) I would 100% buy the premium version if this change is added.

Response from developer

🇺🇸 Hey MewMaster3 👋 Thank you for updating your review and for sticking with WebSSH! Files app integration isn't available yet, but I'm thinking about it: browsing your servers directly from the Files app would be a great addition and your feedback pushes it up my list! 👍 Feel free to share more ideas anytime at team [AT] webssh [DOT] net or on GitHub. Have a great day ☀️ Arnaud

Great app

Love it. really useful and in current development, the recent addition of various tools such as ping, trace route, Network Scanner are really useful The results are also displayed in a very useful way. I love the way Network scanner displays the whole subnet and highlights the live hosts in green. Really useful.
