Melhor aplicativo no quesito, facilitando a vida de quem tem sistema IOS. Muito obrigado desenvolvedor. Fiz questão de comprar o Premium. Adicione uma opção de doação, farei questão de adicionar uma doação mensalmente

Olá Victor 👋 Muito obrigado pela avaliação de 5 estrelas e por ter comprado a versão PRO!

Just what I needed to manage my servers

🇮🇳 Hey KausCoder 👋 Thanks a lot for the kind words and the 5 stars, it really means a lot! 🙏 Affordable pricing matters to me: WebSSH is a one-time purchase, no subscription, and it works on your iPhone, iPad and Mac with the same Apple ID. I want you to own the tool, not rent it. 💪 If you ever have an idea, a question or spot a bug, I'm never far: team [AT] webssh [DOT] net or on GitHub. Always happy to hear from users! Have a great day ☀️ Arnaud

Great tool

I use it mainly to remote into servers over VPN. It is snappy and I love the interface. Built-in keyboard have the right shortcuts.

🇨🇦 Hey Skoo867 👋 Thanks a lot for the 5 stars and for taking the time to write this! 🙏 I'm really happy the built-in keyboard shortcuts feel right — that keyboard has been through many iterations based on user feedback, so it's great to hear it lands well for someone using it daily over VPN. If you ever have an idea, a shortcut you're missing, or just a question, don't hesitate: team [AT] webssh [DOT] net or on GitHub. I'm never very far! 😊 Have a great day ☀️ Arnaud

Very good SSH client plus lots more

This is a great SSH client. I always used PuTTY at work and had it installed on my MacBook but this app is better with lots of extras. Played with it for half an hour then bought the very reasonably priced Pro version. Love the constant updates and love the non subscription model.

No $$ no problem

I’d happily contribute if I could, specifically because the app leaves me alone even though I can’t. You will 100% have my coin when things start looking up. Thank u

Great app

Love it. really useful and in current development, the recent addition of various tools such as ping, trace route, Network Scanner and trace route 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.

🇬🇧 Hello KeithEllis74 👋 Thank you so much for updating your review, six years later — that means a lot! I'm really glad the new tools are useful to you, and that you enjoy the subnet UI 💚 More enhancements are on the way, so stay tuned! 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…👍

🇫🇷 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.

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.

🇺🇸 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

broken connection

On Mac OS Ventura, the connection drops after about a minute, and there's no setting to change it. This doesn't happen through the Mac OS terminal; the server's timeout settings don't affect it.

Wow, just WOW

Rock-solid tool from a dev who clearly cares
Been putting WebSSH through its paces, and I'm genuinely impressed. I've been a sysadmin for 30 years — enterprise firewalls, network architecture, the whole thing — and I run a Proxmox cluster at home, so I'm not easy to please with SSH tools.
The new Proxmox-over-SSH client (32.5) is smart engineering. Routing everything through SSH instead of exposing the API means no open 8006 port and no token juggling — it just reuses my existing SSH auth. That's a security-conscious design choice, not a gimmick. Multi-node monitoring, quorum and HA status, VM/LXC lifecycle control, snapshots, backups, live CPU/RAM/Net/IO graphs — all clean and readable on both Mac and iPad.
What really gets me is that this is a one-person project, maintained since 2012, and every platform feels equally polished. One-time purchase, no subscription — a rare and welcome thing these days.
A few things I'd love to see next: SMART data for disks, ZFS pool status, and an integrated terminal straight from a container. But those are wishes for an already excellent tool, not complaints.
Respect to the developer. This is what a labor of love looks like. Does he ever sleep?

Good value

If you use ssh a lot, want cloud synced servers via iCloud and its security and a one time fee, a nice hi on phone and tablet, organizational tools and more, try this. I do wish it have a simple terminal for running manual sessions or using Unix like tools locally.
