ShelveApp vs The Architect SSH

Shelve is a powerful SSH client for iOS with a built-in AI coding agent. Connect to your servers, run terminals, and let Claude or Codex work on your codebase — all from your iPhone. AI AGENT OVER SSH Run Claude or Codex directly on your remote servers. Multi-session conversations organized by working directory, with git-aware context, image attachments, safety approvals, and model selection. FULL TERMINAL Native terminal emulator with color support, keyboard shortcuts, and smooth scrolling. Manage tmux sessions and keep your work running. HOST WORKSPACE A complete toolkit for every server: • Terminal — Interactive shell access • Tmux — Session management • Browser — Discover and access web services by port • Files — Browse and manage remote files • Services — Monitor Docker, PM2, and system processes • System — View server metrics and resource usage • Logs — Tail and search remote log files SECURITY FIRST • SSH keys generated in the Secure Enclave • Biometric authentication (Face ID / Touch ID) • Full audit log of all key signing operations • Safety approval system for AI agent commands Built for developers who manage servers on the go

The models are good at typing. You are the one who knows what should be built. The Architect gives you one console for every harness you already run — attached over SSH, inside the screen and tmux sessions you already keep alive. No orchestration layer. No opinion about your workflow. Just direct hands on every agent you have running, from whichever device is in front of you. WHO IT IS FOR This is not an onboarding funnel with a terminal theme. It assumes you already run multiple harnesses and multiple models across real machines, and that your only missing piece is a decent way to reach them all from wherever you happen to be. It attaches to what you have already built and gets out of the way. Requires SSH, a session manager you already use (tmux or screen), and a harness — Claude Code, Codex, Aider, OpenCode, or the one you wrote yourself. A REAL TERMINAL Truecolor, correct UTF-8, live PTY resize, mouse reporting, and the Kitty keyboard protocol. On a touchscreen, swipe left or right to move between your screen and tmux windows. On desktop the same move is on buttons, so drag-to-select keeps working. EVERY SESSION AT A GLANCE One line per job: project, last output, elapsed time. When a session rings the terminal bell the badge lights and decays over sixty seconds — so you can tell an agent that wants you now from one that wanted you an hour ago, without opening anything. EXACT-NAME ATTACH screen and tmux matches session names by prefix, which is how people end up typing into the wrong agent. The Architect matches the name exactly and attaches by pid-qualified id, or creates fresh. It never guesses. THE SESSION OUTLIVES THE APP Sessions live on the remote host, not in the client. Close the app, lose signal, swap devices — the run keeps going and you reattach to it exactly where it is. SAME CONSOLE, EVERY SCREEN Not a stripped-down companion app on the phone and a real one on the desktop. The same terminal engine everywhere — the navigation adapts, the capability does not. CREDENTIALS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE SSH keys and passwords are held in the platform's secure storage, never in the app database and never on our servers. There is no account to create and nothing to sign in to. The app can generate a device identity keypair and install its public key on a host for you, so you can move off password auth without leaving the app. FREE AND PRO The free tier is one agent and one project, forever, with no account. Pro removes the limits — unlimited agents and projects — as a single one-time purchase. No subscription.
