sshido is a fast, private SSH terminal for iPhone and iPad, built for running AI coding agents on your own servers from your phone. AGENT MODE • Ask once in a chat. An orchestrator plans the task, runs subagents in Podman on your host, and checks their work before it answers. • Every agent keeps a work record with its goal, evidence and a pass or fail verdict. • Agents can browse websites, use a desktop, and send screenshots, videos and files back to the chat. • Use frontier models (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Grok) with your own subscriptions, or a local model you run yourself. • Run many chats at once, and give agents read-only access to the host folders you choose. TERMINAL • Full xterm-256color terminal, Metal-rendered for smooth scrolling even on heavy output. • tmux sessions survive reconnects, network drops and app switches. Sessions are named after tmux, and you can rename them. • A customizable shortcut bar, smart copy of URLs and output, a one-tap sign-in helper, and image upload into your session. NOTIFICATIONS • Get an alert the moment an agent finishes or needs your input. Hosts and sessions turn amber when Claude is waiting. • Alerts go through the hosted relay at push.sshido.com. Its source is public, and it never stores the alert text. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Ed25519 and RSA keys are stored in the iOS Keychain. A server's host key is remembered on first connect and checked every time after. • Your keys and terminal content only travel to your own server. Crash reports leave out terminal content and credentials, and you can turn them off in Settings. Bring your own server over SSH.

About

AgentLive

Read full description

A real-time log viewer for AI agents and automation pipelines. Connect to any Server-Sent Events (SSE) endpoint and watch your agent's activity stream in as it happens. Color-coded by message type so you can read status at a glance without parsing raw text. Color coding Lines prefixed with a tag are highlighted automatically: [QUERY] gold Ā· [RESULT] green Ā· [AGENT] cyan Ā· [BOOTSTRAP] blue Ā· [ERROR] red Your server can also set any color directly using [_NAME_] as a line prefix — for example [_YELLOW_] or [_PURPLE_]. The tag is stripped from the displayed text. Setup Enter your SSE endpoint URL on first launch. No account, no sign-in. The endpoint is saved and the app reconnects automatically. Requires an SSE-compatible server endpoint.
