ShellPhone 3.0: your servers, closer. A complete, native SSH client for iPhone, iPad and Mac: a real xterm terminal, SFTP, tunnels and, since 3.0, containers, widgets, push notices, an AI assistant with your own key and coding agents. No account, no cloud of ours and no tracking. TRY THE WHOLE APP FOR 30 DAYS When you install, you get a 30-day trial of the whole app without paying anything. Already using ShellPhone? Open 3.0 and get a month of the whole app free to try what is new (with the All-in-one you already have everything). While it lasts, every paid feature shows its bundle's label, and 3 days and 1 day before the end the app reminds you. NEW IN 3.0 • Docker and Podman containers: status, live logs, inspect, start, stop, restart or open a shell inside, over the same SSH session and without an agent • Widgets on the Home Screen and the Mac desktop: CPU, memory, disk and network of the servers you pick, without opening the app (iOS 17 and macOS 14 or later) • Push notices from your servers: notify "title" "message" from any script, cron job or agent, even with the app closed • Server alerts with the app closed: a small script and one crontab line watch CPU, memory, disk and temperature, no root needed • Extended monitor: NVIDIA GPU, temperature, 24 hours of history in charts and ending processes after you confirm • AI assistant with your own key (Anthropic, OpenRouter, DeepSeek or Ollama): it starts in plan mode and every command is confirmed • Claude Code and Codex coding agents in tmux or zellij sessions, with a notice when they finish or need you • zellij sessions · ZMODEM (rz/sz) · two-factor login · agent forwarding · fallback server · startup script USE CASES The in-app glossary explains everything you can do, each with an example. Some use cases: • The nightly backup finishes and a notice reaches your phone • A container goes down: read its logs and restart it from your iPhone • Leave Claude Code working on the server and come back when it tells you • Reach your private database through a tunnel or a bastion • Type once and the command reaches several servers with Multiexec • Edit a server file in the built-in code editor FREE AND PAID When the trial or the launch month ends, without any bundle you still have: quick connect, using and editing your saved connections, one terminal at a time (remote, or local on the Mac) with 15-minute connections you reconnect straight away, browsing and downloading over SFTP, SSH keys and known hosts, seeing and pasting snippets, the monitor of the connected server, two-factor login, the extra keyboard, command history, themes and fonts. Any bundle removes the one-terminal limit and the 15-minute cut. • Power user: saved connections, tunnels, ProxyJump, Telnet, WireGuard, snippets and macros, SFTP uploads and file management, code editor, fleet, Cloud Sync and encrypted backup, containers, widgets, push notices, AI assistant, agents, tmux and zellij, ZMODEM and the local tools • Network tools: subnet and port scanners, ping, DNS, Whois, TLS, HTTP, iperf3, Wake on LAN, HTTP proxy, remote tunnel (-R) and startup script • Remote desktop: VNC viewer • All-in-one: the whole app Auto-renewable yearly subscriptions; cancel anytime. No data is collected: no analytics or tracking, and your keys stay in the device keychain.
