SwiftServer vs PixTerm

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. FREE AND PREMIUM The core of SwiftServer is free: saved machines and keys, live server status, the full terminal with Mosh and snippets, SFTP, port forwarding, Docker browsing, widgets, and Global View. Premium adds unlimited monitored servers, iCloud sync, unlimited forwarding sessions, jump hosts, proxies, Docker management, terminal themes and fonts, SFTP preview and editing, and city, organization, and map pin for IP location. Premium is a monthly or yearly subscription, each with a free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Bring an image or document from your iPhone into a terminal-based coding agent running on your remote machine. PixTerm uploads the item you choose, then inserts its remote path into an editable SSH prompt without sending it. There is no YoungWon Studio account or relay: connections go directly to the SSH server you configure. BUILT FOR TERMINAL AI WORK • Save and organize multiple SSH server profiles. • Work in a VT-compatible terminal with Ctrl, Tab, Esc, arrow keys, copy, and explicit paste controls. • Choose a photo, a regular file, or an image you explicitly paste. • Review the file and remote destination before upload. • Follow upload preparation, progress, verification, and recovery states. • Insert the remote path into an editable prompt without automatically sending Enter. • Use the path with the terminal-based coding agent already installed on your remote machine. PixTerm's file workflow is upload-only. It does not browse or download remote files. CHECK A REMOTE SCREEN • Save VNC profiles independently from SSH profiles. • Connect to compatible Standard VNC servers or macOS Screen Sharing endpoints. • Fit, pan, and zoom the remote screen; switch between Trackpad and View Only modes. • Send pointer, keyboard, special-key, and explicitly confirmed text input. • Return to a linked retained SSH session when one is configured. VNC compatibility depends on the server's negotiated security and encodings. Classic VNC may not encrypt the session; PixTerm shows the transport warning before you save the profile. PixTerm does not provide RDP, audio, remote file transfer, Wake-on-LAN, a hosted desktop, or VNC over SSH. KNOW WHAT YOUR SERVER IS DOING • View live CPU, memory, load, disk, network, process, filesystem, and Docker information. • Move between retained sessions for different server profiles. • Save reusable commands and insert them for review before execution. SECURITY YOU CAN SEE • Review a SHA-256 host fingerprint on first connection. • Block connections when a known host key changes. • Keep passwords and private keys in the device Keychain. • Import supported OpenSSH keys and compatible RSA PEM keys. • Store metadata locally and stage selected files in Application Support only for the transfer workflow. PERSONALIZE THE WORKSPACE Choose light or dark appearance, terminal fonts and sizes, four color themes, and optional feedback settings. Photo/File Paste, new uploads, saved-command actions, VNC connections, and removal of the free SSH server limits require PixTerm Pro, a one-time in-app purchase. Free includes up to two saved SSH server profiles and two simultaneous SSH connections; VNC profiles can be managed before purchase. PixTerm does not create a YoungWon Studio account and does not route terminal content, selected files, or remote-screen data through a YoungWon Studio server. SSH, SFTP, and VNC traffic goes directly to the endpoint you configure. PixTerm does not include or operate an AI model. Any coding agent is a separate tool you install and control on your remote machine, subject to its provider's terms and privacy practices.
