ShellAccess vs Litsail

Connect to your Linux, macOS, and Unix servers directly from your iPhone or iPad. ShellAccess is a native SSH client built for professionals who need reliable remote server access on the go. Full Terminal Emulation A complete terminal experience with support for interactive applications, color output, and customizable themes. Choose from Pro Dark, Dracula, Nord, Monokai, Solarized, Gruvbox, and more. Adjust font size and family to suit your workflow. Secure Authentication Connect using password or SSH key authentication. Generate Ed25519 and RSA keys directly in the app, or import your existing keys. Passwords can be saved securely with Face ID or Touch ID protection using the iOS Keychain. Host Key Verification ShellAccess verifies server identity on every connection, just like OpenSSH. Unknown hosts prompt for confirmation, and changed host keys trigger clear warnings to protect against man-in-the-middle attacks. Manage your known hosts list from Settings. SFTP File Browser Browse, download, and manage files on your remote servers without leaving the app. Access the built-in SFTP browser from the terminal toolbar with a single tap. Multi-Session Support Work across multiple servers simultaneously. Each connection runs in its own tab with independent terminal state. Switch between sessions instantly. Server Management Save your frequently used servers with host, port, username, and preferred authentication method. Organize servers into folders. Quick Connect lets you jump into a one-off session without saving anything. Port Forwarding Set up local and remote port forwarding tunnels to securely access services behind firewalls. Terminal Toolbar A purpose-built accessory bar gives you quick access to Escape, Tab, Ctrl, arrow keys, and common shortcuts like Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D, and Ctrl+Z — keys that are difficult to type on a touchscreen keyboard. Built for iOS Native SwiftUI interface. Designed to work with the iOS keyboard, multitasking, and system security features. No web views, no Electron — a real native app.

Litsail is a VPN and proxy subscription client for users who bring their own subscription URLs, node links, or configuration files. Import subscriptions by URL, scan QR codes, manage multiple sources, switch nodes, refresh subscription data, and use rule-based routing for everyday network workflows. Litsail stores imported subscriptions and node settings locally on your device so they are available quickly when you open the app. Key features: • Import subscription URLs, Clash YAML URLs, and individual node links • Scan QR codes with the camera • Manage multiple subscriptions, including refresh, switch, and delete • View subscription metadata when provided by the subscription server • Select nodes and manage detailed node settings • Use rule mode or global mode • Add custom domain and IP routing rules • Monitor basic connection and traffic status • Use the app for free with ads, or remove ads with a one-time Litsail Pro purchase Important: Litsail does not provide VPN servers, proxy servers, subscription services, or network access plans. You must use your own legally obtained subscription or node configuration from a provider you choose. Availability, speed, supported protocols, and regional access depend on your own provider and network environment. Litsail uses Apple’s Network Extension framework to create a VPN tunnel after you approve the system VPN permission prompt. No account login is required.
