Whether you're on the go or at your desk, WebSSH keeps you connected — anytime, anywhere! ٩(^‿^)۶ WebSSH is a professional SSH, Mosh, SFTP, Telnet, Serial and Port Forwarding client for iPhone, iPad and Mac, with a built-in Proxmox client and a complete sysadmin toolbox. Built since 2012 for developers, system administrators and IT professionals who need reliable, secure remote access wherever they are. CONNECT WITH CONFIDENCE Authenticate with passwords, two-factor challenge, or keys (RSA, DSA, ED25519, PuTTY). Jump through bastion hosts, keep an alternative address per host for when you are inside or outside your network, and let known hosts protect you from surprises. Full terminal emulation (XTERM-256COLOR, XTERM, VT100) with WebGL rendering, split panes, inline images, buffer search, session recording and custom profiles — themes, fonts, colors and keyboard shortcuts tailored to your workflow. NEW IN 33: ONE COMMAND, EVERY HOST Run a command or a snippet on several hosts at once and watch the results come back side by side. The Terminal State Bar now shows more about the machine you are on, snippets get keyboard shortcuts on Mac, and the keyboard accessory keys can carry your own icons. MANAGE FILES REMOTELY The integrated SFTP and SCP client lets you browse directories, create, rename, upload and download files — and edit text files directly within the app. WebSSH can also open .txt files from anywhere on your device. MORE THAN SSH Mosh keeps your session alive through network changes, sleep and flaky connections — switch from Wi-Fi to cellular and pick up right where you left off. Telnet supports direct and interactive authentication, including the CP437 character set for BBS servers. Serial connections support full configuration (baud rate, parity, stop bits, flow control). TUNNEL ANYTHING Local and dynamic port forwarding, VPN over SSH to route your device's traffic through a server, port knocking and Wake-on-LAN to reach machines that are not listening yet. PROXMOX AT YOUR FINGERTIPS Connect to one or more Proxmox servers and clusters, monitor your nodes at a glance (CPU, memory, storage), and manage your VMs and LXC containers — start, stop, reboot and migrate them right from your iPhone, iPad or Mac. SNIPPETS THAT WORK FOR YOU Save the commands you type every day, add dynamic variables, sync them from a GitHub Gist and fire them with a shortcut. BUILT-IN SYSADMIN TOOLKIT Quick diagnostics without leaving the app: Ping, Traceroute, DNS Lookup with propagation check, Whois, network scanner, Certificate Checker, Postmaster for SMTP and DMARC audits, HTTP Forge for crafted requests, Hex Viewer, Baker for data transformations, Code Forge for QR codes, Subnet Calculator, Cron generator, Password Generator and end-to-end encrypted Secret Share. The mashREPL local shell (ls, grep, curl, ping, tar and more) works even without internet access. PRIVACY. PERIOD. No account. No analytics. No ads. Your connections stay on your device, and iCloud sync only runs when you turn it on. WHY WEBSSH? Most SSH clients are either too basic or too bloated. WebSSH hits the sweet spot: professional-grade features, a clean mobile-first interface, and rock-solid reliability — every on-device feature unlocked with a single one-time PRO purchase, yours for life on every device. One app. Every protocol. Zero compromises. Download WebSSH and keep your servers close at hand, no matter where you are.

StealthOps - Invisible Secure Messaging StealthOps is an advanced steganography app that allows you to hide encrypted messages and images inside normal-looking text using cutting-edge zero-width character technology. Your secret communications remain completely invisible to anyone without the proper decryption keys. What It Does StealthOps transforms ordinary text like "Hey, how's your day going? Hope you're doing well!" into the exact same looking text that secretly contains hidden encrypted content. The text appears identical, but contains a hidden encrypted message or image that only the intended recipient can reveal. How It Works Zero-Width Steganography: Uses invisible Unicode characters (zero-width spaces, joiners, etc.) to embed data. The hidden content is completely invisible to the human eye and text appears normal in any messaging app, email, or social media. Can be copied, pasted, and shared like regular text. Military-Grade Encryption: RSA 2048-bit encryption protects all hidden content. Public/Private key pairs ensure only intended recipients can decrypt. Each contact has unique encryption keys for maximum security. Messages are encrypted before being hidden in the text. Dual Contact System: Sender Contacts are people who can send you encrypted messages. Receiver Contacts are people you can send encrypted messages to. Easy QR code sharing for exchanging public keys with automatic key management and validation. Key Features Hidden Text Messages: Encrypt secret text inside innocent-looking messages. Perfect for sensitive communications that need to appear normal. Supports any length of hidden content. Hidden Image Encryption: Hide entire images inside plain text messages. Images are compressed, encrypted, and embedded invisibly. Share photos securely without anyone knowing. Contact Management: Add contacts by scanning QR codes or importing public keys. Visual indicators show contact types with secure key exchange process. Smart Detection: Automatically detects if received text contains hidden content. Identifies whether hidden content is text or images with one-tap decryption and viewing. Modern Interface: Clean, intuitive design with dark mode support. Segmented tabs for sent/received content. Real-time encryption status indicators and haptic feedback. Security Features End-to-End Encryption ensures messages are encrypted on your device before hiding. Zero Knowledge means the app never stores or transmits your private keys. Plausible Deniability makes hidden messages completely undetectable. Forward Secrecy uses unique key pairs for each contact. Tamper Detection safely rejects invalid or corrupted hidden content. How to Use Setup: Add contacts by scanning QR codes or importing public keys. Share your key by generating and sharing your public key via QR code. Verify keys to confirm key exchange with your contacts. Sending: Select a receiver contact, enter your secret message or select an image, add innocent-looking cover text, then encrypt and share the normal-looking text anywhere. Receiving: Paste suspicious text into the decode screen, select the sender contact for decryption, tap decode to reveal hidden content, then view the secret message or image. Privacy & Security No Cloud Storage keeps all data on your device. No Analytics means zero telemetry or user tracking. Offline Capable works without internet connectivity. Secure Deletion properly cleans up sensitive data. StealthOps represents the cutting edge of digital steganography, combining advanced Unicode manipulation techniques, robust cryptographic implementations, user-friendly interface design, and cross-platform text compatibility. The app makes military-grade steganography accessible to everyone while maintaining the highest security standards. StealthOps: Where your secrets become invisible.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StealthOp at none against WebSSH's 3. StealthOp also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). WebSSH's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 1) and chart position (#26 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
