Lightning fast SSH terminal with remote file access. No other app fuses your SSH servers and iOS devices as well as Secure ShellFish. Tap Get and see for yourself. Terminal supports standard text editing gestures for selection, scrolling and copy/paste as well as custom gestures to send arrow keys and tabulator making shell entry and full screen editing with vim or emacs delightful. Bar above the keyboard makes it easy to type special keys and insert snippets. Select and drag filenames out of the terminal as actual files and drag files from other apps into the terminal to upload. Use built-in tmux support to persist terminal sessions if you lose Internet access, pick existing sessions with thumbnails and Handoff sessions between devices. Server file system is available in the Files app and recently accessed files and directories are cached to make them available when offline. Use apps like Textastic and iA Writer for a native editing experience working on your remote server files. Upload files or entire directories from the share sheet with minimal friction as the last destination directory for each kind of file is remembered or automate file transfers in the Shortcuts app. Connect to your Mac, Synology NAS and any other SSH server or create new Digital Ocean droplets right from the app. Secure ShellFish is useful as a free app and paying pro users can disable ads in the terminal, upload through the Files app and configure unlimited number of servers.

ToolHub puts a suite of MWD field instruments in your pocket. Using your iPhone's built-in magnetometer, it detects MagLink signals, measures magnetic-field strength in real time, and logs raw sensor data — no extra hardware to carry to the rig. Built by Erdos-Miller for directional-drilling and MWD crews who need quick, reliable field checks at the wellsite. TOOLS • MagLink Detector: Watch for MagLink sync pulses in real time. A live timeline shows detections over the last 60 seconds, with a running sync count, target rate in Hz, and a timestamped log of recent syncs — so you can confirm signal at a glance. • MagField: Read magnetic-field strength live, straight from your device. On-screen readout plus audio feedback tells you instantly when the field is clear or saturated, with orientation guidance to help you take a clean measurement. The screen stays awake while you work. • Magnetometer Logger: Capture raw three-axis magnetometer data with a configurable sampling rate, live readings in microtesla (µT), and performance stats. Review and share your logs when you're done. WHY TOOLHUB • No extra gear — your phone is the instrument • Real-time readings designed for the field, not the office • Clear visual and audio feedback you can use with gloves on • Fast, focused tools that do one job well More tools are on the way. ToolHub is built and maintained by ErdosMiller.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Toolhub at none against SSH Client's 3. SSH Client's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 1) and chart position (#14 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SSH Client sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Toolhub asks for nothing beyond the download.
Toolhub holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SSH Client has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
