SwiftServer vs WriteAccess

SwiftServer is an SSH client and server monitor for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It is for developers, sysadmins, and homelab owners who run Linux, macOS, or Windows servers and want a terminal, live status, Docker, and SFTP in one app. Nothing is installed on the server. SwiftServer connects over the SSH access you already have. No agent, no daemon, no account. MONITORING - CPU per core, load averages, and temperature - Memory as used, cached, free, and swap - Live process table, sortable and searchable - Network speed and totals, with vnStat history by hour, day, month, and year - Storage per volume with disk I/O speed, latency, and IOPS - NVIDIA GPU: utilization, memory, fan, temperature, power, and compute processes - Public IP and location per server. Global View maps every server with live latency. - Linux, macOS, and Windows on one dashboard - Widgets, Live Activities, and the Dynamic Island TERMINAL - SSH and Mosh sessions. Mosh keeps the shell alive through network changes and sleep. - Keyboard bar with Esc, Tab, Ctrl, Alt, arrows, and ^C on iPhone and iPad. Hardware keyboards work too. - Snippets: save a command once, run it in any session, or across many machines with a result per machine - 518 color themes with separate light and dark picks, nine bundled monospace fonts, and custom font import - Mac: Local Shell opens a terminal on your own Mac in the same window DOCKER - Speaks the Docker Engine API over the SSH connection. No Docker port is exposed. - Overview: engine status, counts, reclaimable space, and live CPU and memory across containers - Containers: logs, processes, inspect. Create, start, stop, restart, pause, kill, remove. - Compose projects: up, down, start, stop, restart, pull, and logs - Images: pull with progress, remove, prune. Volumes and networks: inspect, remove, prune. Live event stream. SFTP - Browse, upload, download, rename, delete, and create files and folders - Copy files from one server to another without routing them through your device - Quick Look preview and a text editor with save NETWORKING - Port forwarding: local, remote, and dynamic SOCKS rules with auto start and a built-in browser on iPhone and iPad - Jump hosts: reach machines behind a bastion through one hop or a chain, each with its own credentials and host key check - Connection proxies: SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT profiles, per machine or per forwarding rule KEYS AND SECURITY - Password, SSH key, and keyboard-interactive login, including two-factor prompts - Generate Ed25519, ECDSA, or RSA keys on the device, or import existing keys - Host key fingerprint on first contact. A changed host key stops the connection. - Secrets stay in the device Keychain, behind Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode if you choose - Built on Traversio, our open-source SSH engine written in Swift ICLOUD SYNC AND PRIVACY - Machines, identities, keys, snippets, forwarding rules, proxy profiles, and trusted host keys sync through your own iCloud. Passwords and private keys go only through iCloud Keychain, end-to-end encrypted. - No accounts and no SwiftServer servers. What you save stays on your devices and in your iCloud. - The only outbound request is the IP lookup, sent from your server to ipinfo.io. The result is stored on your device only.

Something has broken on your server and your laptop is at home. Open WriteAccess, connect, fix it, and get on with your day. WriteAccess puts a real SSH terminal, a file editor that saves straight back to your server, and live server stats on your iPhone and iPad. It is free: no account, no subscription, no ads. FIX IT IN THE TERMINAL • Real SSH shells, several at once over one connection. • A row of keys above the keyboard for Esc, Ctrl, Tab and the arrows. Choose the keys you want, in the order you want. • Tap the command line to put the cursor exactly where you need it. • Press and hold to copy output. Paste in from anywhere. • Drag to scroll back through output. Pinch to zoom. • It remembers the commands you use and suggests them as you type. EDIT FILES WHERE THEY LIVE • Open a config over SFTP, change it, save. It goes straight back to the server, with nothing to sync. • "Saved" means the server confirmed it. If a server cannot promise a safe overwrite, the file opens read-only rather than risk your data. • Browse, create, rename, delete and search your server's files. • Edit files in the Files app as well, from iCloud Drive or On My iPhone, with Markdown highlighting. Unsaved work survives an interruption. SEE WHAT YOUR SERVER IS DOING • Uptime, load, memory, disk and the busiest processes, live. • Spot the problem, fix it in the terminal, and watch the load come down. DRIVE YOUR CODING AGENT FROM YOUR PHONE • Save a start-up command for each server and open a terminal straight into your AI coding tool, or any command-line tool. It runs on your server, with your code, at your server's speed. You just steer. BUILT FOR iPAD TOO • Files, terminal and server stats side by side on a divider you can drag. • Landscape, multitasking and hardware keyboards all work. SAFE BY DESIGN • WriteAccess connects to your servers and nothing else. No middleman, no tracking, no analytics. • Sign in with a password, an SSH key (encrypted keys included) or your server's interactive prompt. • Host keys are checked on every connection. If one changes, nothing connects until you say so. • Passwords and keys stay in the iOS Keychain on your device. Your server list can follow you to your other devices through your own iCloud; passwords and keys never do. • See which servers you are connected to at a glance, and disconnect with one tap. GOOD TO KNOW Sessions close when you leave the app, so it is for hands-on work rather than watching long jobs. Sign-ins that need a second code after the password are not supported yet. For your VPS, homelab, NAS, build server, or the machine your coding agent lives on. Download WriteAccess and keep your servers in your pocket.
