What's New in WebSSH

33.1

October 10, 2026

٩(^‿^)۶ WebSSH has been updated Its codename is : 33.1 - Ladybug (Seven-Spot) So what's new in this release? ↓ ◖ Release Adds ◗ ๏ Terminal State Bar : Enhancements : #1345 ๏ Alternative IP/host addresses for connections : #1468 ๏ Open .txt files directly in the Text Editor and allow WebSSH as default app for text files : #1739 ๏ Keyboard Accessory : Customisable key icons : #1740 ◖ Release Fixes ◗ ๏ App freezes when switching to a third-party keyboard (Typewise) : #1738 ๏ Not able to scroll the terminal after disconnecting on alternate buffer : #1716 Have a great day! (i) Want to support WebSSH further? (i) 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

Works a treat

Does exactly what you’d expect.

Можно добавить открывать txt по-умолчанию

У меня стоит ваша программа и хотелось бы пользоваться ей чаще. Встроенного нормального txt viewer нет в iPhone, только быстрый просмотр и так вот выбрать вашу программу по default не возможно так как Это почти наверняка означает, что WebSSH не зарегистрирован в iOS как полноценный системный обработчик типа .txt для установки глобальной ассоциации. Прошу это доработать. А также добавить лупу чтобы быстро начинать поиск, а не нажимать в маленькие три точки и выбирать нужный раздел. Благодарю

Excellent Ssh Client, Excellent Support

I’ve been using WebSSH for years, and it’s easily the best SSH client I’ve used. It does so much more than SSH and has consistently exceeded my expectations. When a recent update changed a feature I relied on, support was quick and helpful, pointing me to the setting I couldn’t find. A fantastic app backed by excellent support!
