Coolify Manager vs Helmrig Shell

No account required. No subscription. Your API token never leaves your device. KEY FEATURES Live Deployment Logs Stream your build and deploy output as it happens. Know the moment your app is live — or catch what went wrong — without opening a browser. Full Lifecycle Control Start, stop, restart, and redeploy your applications, databases, and services with a single tap. Manage every resource Coolify supports. Create Resources on the Go Spin up new applications, databases, and services directly from your phone. Not just monitoring — full management.

Server Overview View server status and connected resources at a glance. PRIVATE AND SAFE Your API token is stored on-device in the iOS Keychain and never transmitted to any external server. There are no accounts, no cloud sync, and no third-party analytics. Biometric App Lock Protect access to your servers with Face ID or Touch ID. Required before the app opens. Type-to-Confirm for Destructive Actions Accidental taps on critical operations are prevented by a mandatory type-to-confirm prompt — the same pattern used in production CLI tools.

The terminal from your desk, now on iPhone and iPad. Helmrig Shell is a native terminal — btop, tmux, vim, true color, ligatures, full escape-sequence support, rendered natively. Not a web view, not a cut-down mobile shell. A real desktop terminal that feels like the one you already use. Your sessions run on your own Mac or server. The iPad or iPhone is just the window — so they never drop. Lock the screen, lose signal, switch to another app, come back hours later: every tab, every running process, your full scrollback, exactly where you left it. No reconnect dance, no lost output. Drop a file onto the terminal and it uploads to your machine, with the full path dropped straight into your command line. Hand a screenshot to a CLI tool, attach a file to a running command — it just works, as if the file were already there. Built on libghostty for the rendering you'd expect from a desktop terminal. Hardware keyboard shortcuts, split panes, tabs that name themselves after what's running. Designed for iPad first, not ported from somewhere else. Works anywhere over an end-to-end encrypted connection — at your desk, on the couch, or across the world. Not limited to your local network. Helmrig Shell requires a subscription to use. A free trial is available, after which continued access requires Helmrig Shell Pro at $8.99/month. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. WHAT IT IS A window into your own machine. Your shell, your tools, your environment — running where they always have, now reachable from your iPad. WHAT IT NEEDS A Mac or Linux machine you control, running the Helmrig server. Setup takes one command. PRIVACY No third-party SDKs. No analytics. No crash reporting. Helmrig Shell servers never see terminal output.
