SSHPanel turns your iPhone into a dedicated server control panel, allowing you to manage servers without opening a terminal. Structure your SSH operations into three core axes: Execute, Reference, and Tools, and trigger tasks instantly with a single tap. ◆ EXECUTE & REFERENCE PANELS ・Execute Commands: Turn commands (systemctl, custom scripts) into one-tap panels. ・Exit Status: Visual indicators (green/red) instantly display success or failure. ・Data Reference: Display command outputs (e.g., cat) as panels with built-in keyword search (grep) for quick information extraction. ◆ INTERACTIVE "TOOLS" Real-time, in-depth server analysis tools: ・Directory Analyzer: Drill-down to identify disk space bottlenecks. ・Process Analyzer: List processes by CPU/MEM usage to find heavy loads. ・Memory Analyzer: Visualize true memory usage using PSS, and drill down into swap usage and OOM risks. ・Listening Ports: View active ports and associated connections/processes. ・Config Browser: Cleanly display configuration files by excluding comments and blank lines. ・Log Browser: Efficiently tail and grep server logs via a native UI. ◆ PANEL OPTIMIZATION ・Auto-close: Closes logs upon successful execution to minimize visual noise. ・Always Expanded: Fixes results on-screen, turning your device into a monitoring display. ・Expand on Tap: Keeps layouts slim, expanding only when detailed logs are needed. ◆ ADVANCED FEATURES ・SSH Multi-Hop (Jump Host): Automatically handles bastion host connection sequences. ・Robust Security: Passwords and keys (RSA, Ed25519) are stored securely in the iOS Keychain. Credentials are fetched only at execution time with no in-app caching. ・iOS Integration: Trigger tasks directly from Widgets or Control Center. Automatic iCloud sync keeps panels updated across all your devices. ・67 Templates: Built-in presets for system monitoring, web, and database management. ※ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER SSHPanel is a "command execution (non-TTY)" tool optimized for iOS. ・No interactive sessions (e.g., vim or commands requiring real-time input). ・Designed specifically for executing pre-registered commands with a single tap.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Arcway at none against SSHPanel's 1. Arcway also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). SSHPanel's advantage is update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
