SimpleSSM puts your AWS EC2 fleet in your pocket. Browse instances, watch metrics, run commands, and open a full terminal on any instance โ all over AWS Systems Manager (SSM), with no VPN, no bastion hosts, no SSH keys, and no open inbound ports.

A REAL TERMINAL Open a secure shell on any SSM-managed instance, right from your iPhone or iPad. Full terminal emulation with a keyboard toolbar built for shell work. On iPad, keep multiple connections open at once and switch between them from the sidebar.

BUILT FOR SECURITY - All traffic rides AWS Systems Manager sessions โ your instances need no public IPs and no open ports - Supports IAM access keys and AWS IAM Identity Center (SSO) - Credentials are stored in the device Keychain, never on our servers - Lock the app behind Face ID / Touch ID - Sessions are logged in AWS like any other SSM session, so your audit trail stays intact FREE AND PRO The free version is fully functional with one profile, one connection at a time, and one snippet. SimpleSSM Pro Mobile removes every limit on iPhone and iPad. Or step up to SimpleSSM Pro โ one upgrade that unlocks everything on iPhone, iPad, AND the SimpleSSM Mac app, including Mac-only features like SSM port-forwarding tunnels and terminal themes. REQUIREMENTS You'll need an AWS account with instances managed by AWS Systems Manager (the SSM agent is preinstalled on most Amazon-provided AMIs) and IAM permissions for Session Manager.
