About

sshido

Features
Read full description

sshido is a fast, private SSH terminal for iPhone and iPad — built for driving AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, aider) on your own remote servers from your phone. FEATURES • Real terminal: full xterm-256color, Metal-rendered for speed and smooth scrolling even on heavy output. • tmux session persistence: your work survives reconnects, network drops, and app switches. Pick up exactly where you left off. • Push notifications: get an alert the moment your agent finishes a task or needs input, via a free, open-source relay you can self-host. • Private by design: Ed25519/RSA keys stored in the iOS Keychain, host-key verification (TOFU), and nothing sent to third parties. • Built for the way you work: a customizable shortcut bar, smart copy of URLs and terminal output, a one-tap OAuth sign-in helper, and image upload straight into your session. Bring your own server over SSH. Self-hosting the push relay is free, and always will be.
