RPI SSH Pro vs BleControlsPi

RPI SSH PRO – fast SSH-based server management RPI SSH PRO is a modern, fast, and intuitive SSH client that lets you manage your servers easily from your mobile device. It supports Raspberry Pi, Linux, Debian, Synology (Linux-based) systems, and Windows servers with OpenSSH, providing quick access to system status, maintenance tasks, and command execution. System Overview (Dashboard) View the most important system information at a glance: • Uptime • CPU usage • Temperature • Disks and total storage • Mounted file systems • Number of connected drives Designed for fast diagnostics and everyday server monitoring. Command Gallery (Samples) A wide range of prebuilt command templates: • can be quickly added to your own Command Cards • perfect for maintenance, diagnostics, and administration tasks • works across Linux-based systems and Windows PowerShell environments Command Cards Manage your custom commands using cards: • add, edit, and search command cards • drag & drop reordering • Quick Run mode for one-tap execution • global cards or server-specific cards • reusable commands across multiple servers and platforms Widget Quick Launch Your most important command cards can be added as widgets: • run commands without opening the app • ideal for frequently used maintenance and monitoring tasks • instant access to your most important server actions Multi-server support • add and edit multiple servers • switch between servers quickly • secure connections using SSH host key verification • manage mixed environments (Linux + Windows) from one app Terminal Modes Choose the terminal experience that best fits your workflow: • Simple terminal for basic commands and quick actions • Full PTY terminal for interactive shell usage The Ping screen is also directly accessible from the terminal view, allowing you to: • quickly check network connectivity • test latency and host availability • perform targeted ping tests toward the selected server Ideal for troubleshooting and network diagnostics directly within the SSH workflow. Windows PTY Support • Full PTY SSH terminal for Windows servers • Supports PowerShell and interactive commands • Proper handling of interactive tools, prompts, and real shell behavior • Ideal for Windows Server administration over SSH Settings & Customization The application is fully customizable: • dark / light / colorful / system default themes • language selection • command card size adjustment (compact or large card layout) • SSH and PTY terminal logging • Ping feature settings and configuration • configurable SSH timeout settings • optimized for touch interaction and extended terminal usage Tools section in Settings • Ping – TCP/ICMP network test • LAN Scan – Discover devices on your local network • Port Scan – Scan common ports or custom ranges Full Version All features of the application are available with the Full version purchase. The purchase is one-time only, no subscription required, and helps support further development.

The BLEControlsPi App allows to create various iOS controls such as Button,Toggle, Sliders, Steppers, Pickers (color, date, options) to Control a Raspberry Pi. Manipulating these controls sends their value to the Raspberry Pi (or linux device) in real time over Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE). You can also define Display controls such as Gauges and Text Displays, to create a Dashboard, where the Raspberry Pi sends info to the iPhone/iPad also in real time over Bluetooth. You can create, edit, size, and positions the controls in the app without being connected to a Raspberry Pi. However, before you can connect to, and control the Raspberry Pi you must instal the Python code (see below). IMPORTANT: You must install the free companion Python Software on the Raspberry Pi - where you define your own handlers (callback) functions that take actions on the Raspberry Pi, or fetch data on the Raspberry Pi to send to the iPhone/iPad. The code is provided with an automated installer for the Raspberry Pi. See https://github.com/bluepieapps/blecontrolspi-python and the README. The app provides 2 free controls. These can be created , deleted and re-created as often as you wish, allowing you to test any configuration, or run a simple control scheme. If you need more controls, you can use In-App Purchases to buy Control Packs (in quantity 1,3,5 or 9) for a small fee. This is not a subscription. Once you own the pack - it is yours to use. Packs allow the creation of any controls offered in the app, and any such controls can be edited, deleted and re-created at will. You can install the app on multiple iPhones/iPads that all use the same Apple ID. Controls Packs, and Controls you define on one device are synchronized to the other devices on app restart. Add a new control on your iPhone, and it will show up on your iPad. delete a controls from your iPad, and it will be deleted from your iPhone. See a video of the app at: https://youtu.be/8y3t2luLw3k See the documentation at: https://bluepieapps.com/Control-Pi-over-bluetooth/ - There is docs on how the controls, working which type of controls are available. - There is also an explanation of how you create handlers in the Python Code on the Raspberry Pi to have the RPi react to the controls you have defined.
