SnapSSH.ai vs Clayshell

Your servers, terminals and AI tasks in one workspace. SnapSSH.ai brings SSH connections, a terminal, file tools and AI CLI task management into one app. Move from a saved server to an active terminal, inspect task results and keep useful review notes together. WORK COMFORTABLY IN THE TERMINAL Organize saved SSH connections and work across tabs or split panes. Search terminal output, copy commands, open links and keep frequently used keys and snippets close at hand. Choose terminal color themes and fonts independently of the app's light or dark appearance. USE AI WHERE IT MAKES SENSE Already use an AI CLI on a server? Run it in the SSH terminal and use task management to follow progress and review results. On macOS, the optional local AI assistant can run a supported CLI on your Mac and use SnapSSH tools to inspect only the SSH sessions you allow. On iPhone and iPad, follow server AI tasks or enter commands directly. You choose the target connections and remain in control of terminal input and approvals. MANAGE TASKS BEYOND A SINGLE CONVERSATION Search tasks by name, server or path. See which tasks need attention, attach selected output, file excerpts or notes, and record your own review decision. Save workspace configurations and reusable task instructions. Reconnect to verified existing tmux sessions when available. Delete finished or restored history individually, by selection or within the current filtered list. WORK WITH REMOTE FILES Browse servers with SFTP, transfer files and edit supported text files from the app. Transfer progress and unsaved editor changes remain visible so you can follow what is happening. MAKE THE WORKSPACE YOURS Use a refined light or dark interface with clear navigation, readable terminal controls and scrollable settings. Switch the app language to English, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese or Arabic. An in-app guide explains when server AI and the optional desktop local assistant are useful. WHAT YOU NEED An SSH server and your own access credentials are required for remote connections. AI features use separately installed third-party CLI tools and may require those services' accounts, subscriptions or API usage charges; SnapSSH does not include an AI model or subscription. The local assistant is available on macOS and requires access to the selected live SSH sessions. Remote task persistence and recovery require an existing, verified tmux session on the server. Task history is stored on the current device; automatic history synchronization between devices is not included.

Clayshell is an SSH server manager for people who run their own servers. Add a server once, then do the daily work without leaving the app. TERMINAL A real terminal with full colour, in tabs. Your own shell, as many sessions as you need. FILES Browse the server over SFTP. Upload, download, rename, delete, make files and folders, and preview text files. EDITOR WITH A BACKUP Open a file on the server, edit it and save. Before every save the previous version is kept next to it as a .bak file, and one tap puts it back. If the file changed on the server while you were editing, Clayshell tells you instead of overwriting it. MONITOR CPU, memory, disk, load, uptime and the busiest processes, live, for Linux servers. PM2 See your PM2 processes, start, stop and restart them, and follow their logs. ALERTS Be told when a disk fills up, when CPU or memory stays high, when a PM2 process goes down, or when a server cannot be reached. On the Mac, Clayshell can watch your servers from the menu bar. A small script can also be installed on the server itself, so alerts reach Telegram, ntfy or a webhook even when your devices are asleep. MORE SSH Jump hosts. Import from your SSH config. Port forwarding. Ed25519, ECDSA and RSA keys, or a password. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU • No account, no analytics, no tracking. Nothing is sent to us. • Passwords and keys are kept in the Keychain on your device. • Clayshell only talks to the servers you add. • It asks before trusting a new server, and stops if a server's key changes. • An optional lock with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. Clayshell has a day and a night look, and works on Mac and iPhone. Monitoring needs a Linux server. The PM2 screen needs PM2 on the server. Server alerts need curl and cron on the server. An RSA key protected by a passphrase is not supported yet.
