Connect to your Linux, macOS, and Unix servers directly from your iPhone or iPad. ShellAccess is a native SSH client built for professionals who need reliable remote server access on the go. Full Terminal Emulation A complete terminal experience with support for interactive applications, color output, and customizable themes. Choose from Pro Dark, Dracula, Nord, Monokai, Solarized, Gruvbox, and more. Adjust font size and family to suit your workflow. Secure Authentication Connect using password or SSH key authentication. Generate Ed25519 and RSA keys directly in the app, or import your existing keys. Passwords can be saved securely with Face ID or Touch ID protection using the iOS Keychain.

Quick Connect lets you jump into a one-off session without saving anything. Port Forwarding Set up local and remote port forwarding tunnels to securely access services behind firewalls. Terminal Toolbar A purpose-built accessory bar gives you quick access to Escape, Tab, Ctrl, arrow keys, and common shortcuts like Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D, and Ctrl+Z ā keys that are difficult to type on a touchscreen keyboard. Built for iOS Native SwiftUI interface. Designed to work with the iOS keyboard, multitasking, and system security features. No web views, no Electron ā a real native app.
