Hey Terminal vs ProbeDeck

Your work machine, from your iPad. Your work computer can stay at home or in the office. Connect to it over SSH with Hey Terminal, open Codex or Claude Code there, and continue working on your project from your iPad. A keyboard-first terminal for iPad Use a physical keyboard to enter prompts and run commands. Review your project with your remote CLI, edit files with vim, or work in tmux when those tools are available on your computer. Keep different connections in separate tabs. Create a tab with Command-T, close it with Command-W, and switch with Command-1 through Command-9. Quick remote work on iPhone When your computer isn't with you, connect for a short command, check a project file, or send a follow-up request to your remote CLI. SSH and a local terminal Connect with an SSH command or a configured host alias. Authenticate with a password or SSH key. Use the local terminal for basic file commands and SSH key generation. Before you connect You need a computer or server with SSH enabled that you can reach from your device. Remote tools run on that machine, not inside Hey Terminal. Install and configure the tools you want to use there, with any required accounts. Your remote machine must be powered on and accessible. No app account or subscription required.

ProbeDeck is a secure mobile client compatible with ClickHouse® servers, built for cluster operations from your iPhone. ProbeDeck is built for DevOps, SRE, platform and data engineers on call. Connect over TLS, through an SSH tunnel or a bastion. See cluster health, find the query that is eating the cluster and kill it in seconds, while production credentials never touch someone else's server. WHY PROBEDECK • Trust-first. Your credentials stay on your device and never leave it. There is no backend, no proxy, no traffic relay. Your connection goes straight from your phone to your server. • It knows ClickHouse. Replication lag, read-only replicas and Keeper trouble, parts and merges, "too many parts", stuck mutations, disk pressure. These are the pages you get, so this is the first screen you see. • Safety on each statement. ProbeDeck classifies your SQL before it sends anything. DROP, TRUNCATE, ALTER UPDATE and ALTER DELETE, DETACH, DROP PARTITION, OPTIMIZE FINAL and KILL need a type-to-confirm step showing the exact target. Costly statements carry a warning. Set a connection read-only and unlock writes when you mean to. • Honest about what cannot be undone. KILL MUTATION stops a mutation but does not roll back what it already wrote. ProbeDeck says so instead of offering a fake Undo. • Built for mobile networks. Reconnect with backoff, path-aware monitoring of Wi-Fi and cellular handoffs, and specific errors in place of an endless spinner. A ClickHouse error in the response body reads as a query error, not as a dead network. • A production badge marks each risky action, so you know which cluster you are about to touch. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Connect over TLS, an SSH tunnel or a bastion host, with a Face ID app lock. • Inspect a self-signed or custom-CA certificate fingerprint and accept it per connection. • Read cluster health at a glance: replicas, disks, parts, merges, mutations and metrics. • List running queries with elapsed time, memory and the user behind each one. • KILL QUERY on the query burning the cluster, KILL MUTATION on the one that is stuck. • Browse databases, tables, columns and DDL. • Run SQL in the editor and read results laid out for a phone screen. • Ask the AI assistant why a replica is lagging, through your own Ollama or your own API key. PRIVACY • Local-first. Your hosts, passwords, SSH keys and certificates stay on your device, in the iOS Keychain. • No secrets in logs. ProbeDeck keeps passwords, hostnames, database, table and column names and values out of its logs. • The AI assistant talks to your Ollama or your key. Nothing reaches us, because we run no server. Schema context is filtered by an allow-list before it goes to a model, and the assistant never executes anything by itself. • Crash and error reporting is on by default and can be turned off in Settings. Reports are scrubbed and never include hostnames, table names, values or credentials. • No tracking, no IDFA and no advertising identifiers. ProbeDeck is foreground-first. It fits on-call inspection and operations rather than always-on background alerting. FREE VS PRO ProbeDeck is free to try, with a real, usable free tier, not a locked demo. • Free: connect over TLS, SSH tunnel or bastion; the whole monitoring surface, including replicas, disks, parts, merges, mutations and metrics; browse schema and data; run read SQL; one saved connection. • Pro unlocks operating: KILL QUERY and KILL MUTATION, write and DDL SQL, the AI assistant, and multiple saved connections. "ProbeDeck Pro" is a one-time unlock. No subscription, no ads, no account required. ProbeDeck works with self-hosted ClickHouse, ClickHouse Cloud and clusters behind an SSH bastion, over the HTTP interface on ports 8123 and 8443.
