RPiControl vs Pi SSH

Do you want to: - control your Pi without having to write any code? - or, do you have a program you wrote for your Pi and you want to interface to it with a phone app? - or, you're an educator looking for a fun way to teach students the basics of programming? If any of the above apply to you then you definitely need to give RPiControl a spin. Take control of your Raspberry Pi 3 A+/B+ from your phone or tablet via Bluetooth! - Create multiple projects in the app - In each project create a custom control layout using a drag/drop, fill in the blank, graphical interface. Add buttons, switches, lights, etc. - Controls allow you to set GPIO pin state; run Pi commands; play sounds; run macros; display the state of pins plus more. - Create macros to run multiple commands at a single button tap. Macros are written using the built-in, easy to use, scripting language. Want to run a macro without having to connect to your phone? No problem, just upload the macro to your Pi. You'll be able to launch it from the phone and then disconnect. Or, have the macro run on the Pi automatically at startup. Run multiple macros at the same time from the phone or on the Pi! - One of the most powerful features of the app is the ability to pass alphanumeric data from the app to your own programs and to receive data from your programs. Display data from your program in the app easily and just as easily send data back to your program and act on it. Or, trigger actions of your program by just setting GPIO pins high or low. No need to spend valuable time writing your own phone app! - Educators, use RPiControl and a Raspberry Pi to teach your students basic programming principles. Give different types of feedback by connecting hardware to the Pi and control the hardware from the app via its controls and scripts. - Share your layouts with others by uploading them to our online layout library!

Pi SSH is the Raspberry Pi control app with a real interactive SSH terminal — plus SFTP files, live monitoring, GPIO, Docker, and systemd. Connect over direct LAN SSH (no cloud relay) from iPhone or iPad. SSH TERMINAL (NEW IN 2.0) Open a full VT100/xterm SSH terminal to your Raspberry Pi or Linux box. Colors, interactive tools (htop, nano, vim), password or Ed25519 keys, optional jump/bastion host, on-screen shortcuts (Tab, Ctrl+C, arrows), and reconnect when the shell ends. The terminal uses its own session so live metrics keep updating. CONNECT WITH CONFIDENCE Clearer connection help when SSH fails, plus Scan network from the error screen. Bonjour discovery and Wi‑Fi subnet scanning find Pis on your local network. SFTP FILE MANAGER Browse folders, upload and download files, edit text configs, rename, copy, move, and delete — plus upload from the iOS share sheet. DOCKER & SYSTEMD Start, stop, and restart containers and services. View Docker and journal logs with live follow. GPIO CONTROL 40-pin pinout grid with per-pin input/output, PWM, custom labels, and bus-pin safety prompts. SYSTEM MONITORING CPU, memory, temperature, disk, and network — with charts and history. Home Screen widgets show the latest metrics after you capture them in the app. SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION Docker containers & images • systemd units • apt upgradable packages • journal/syslog viewer • edit boot or SSH config files. NETWORK TOOLS Local-network SSH discovery (Bonjour + subnet scan), Wake-on-LAN, TCP port checks, plus ping/traceroute run on the Pi. SNIPPETS & MACROS Save commands and run them with one tap; chain steps into macros. PRIVACY-FIRST Secrets stay in Keychain. Works over LAN/VPN — your credentials never pass through our servers. Supports Raspberry Pi OS and other Debian/Ubuntu-style Linux installs.
