About

NoxGate

Read full description

NoxGate is a secure SSH client that lets you manage your servers from your phone. Connect to saved hosts with a single tap, work in a full-featured terminal, transfer files over SFTP and manage your keys. WHAT YOU CAN DO • SSH terminal — a real terminal: colours, arrow keys, Ctrl shortcuts, copy and paste. • Host book — organise servers with names, groups and tags; reach them all from one list. • File transfer (SFTP) — browse folders, download, upload and delete files. • Key management — generate ed25519, ECDSA or RSA keys, or import your own; log in with a key instead of a password. • Snippets — store the commands you use often and run them with one tap. • Dark and light themes, adjustable terminal font size. • Six languages: Turkish, English, German, French, Russian. SECURITY • Your host details and keys are stored on your device. • If you create an optional account, your backup is end-to-end encrypted — our servers cannot read it. • An account is not required; NoxGate works fully offline. NOXGATE+ NoxGate is free and shows ads. The free version has no limits: save as many hosts, keys and snippets as you like, and use the terminal and file transfer without restriction. With NoxGate+ you remove all ads, sync your hosts and keys across devices with end-to-end encryption, and get priority support. Yearly or monthly, no commitment, cancel anytime from your store account. WHO IT IS FOR System administrators, developers, field engineers and anyone who needs their servers without a desk. Made by İskay Soft. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://noxgate.iskaysoft.com/gizlilik.html NoxGate+ is an auto-renewable subscription; payment is charged to your store account at confirmation and renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period.

Verdict

The call
