Run AI agents from your phone. A real terminal with a real keyboard, in your pocket. Mobitty is a touch-first SSH terminal built for AI-agent workflows on iOS. You bring the server β€” self-hosted, behind SSH, Tailscale, or Cloudflare β€” and Mobitty brings the parts the browser can't: a native on-screen terminal keyboard, multi-URL server rotation, gesture shortcuts, and touch-friendly selection with a magnifier loupe. MADE FOR AI AGENTS A dedicated Claude Code layout. A remote editor that handles Ctrl-G and long multi-line prompts mid-stream. Paste an image straight from the camera roll into the agent's context β€” your phone becomes the AI-agent dashboard. SESSIONS THAT FOLLOW YOU Sessions live on your server, not your phone. Reattach from mobile or desktop, survive LTE↔Wi-Fi handoffs and subway tunnels. Mobitty's adaptive transport keeps the line open with frugal data usage. A REAL KEYBOARD Readline Β· Tmux Β· Vim Β· Claude Code layouts out of the box. Drag-arrange your own grid, and bind any chord or sequence β€” Ctrl-Shift-X, a tmux prefix followed by a pane move, Esc :wq Enter β€” to a single tap. Hardware keyboard paired? Mobitty hides the softkey bar automatically. MULTI-SERVER, MULTI-URL Save Production, staging, and lab boxes once. Each server can list several URLs β€” LAN, Tailscale, public hostname β€” probed in parallel until one connects. Drag to reorder, swipe to delete. TOUCH-FIRST, FROM SCROLL TO SELECTION 1:1 momentum scrolling that doesn't fight the terminal renderer. Long-press a word to select, drag iOS handles, and a magnifier loupe rides above your finger so you can land the boundary on the right character β€” in plain shells and in alt-buffer apps like tmux, vim, and less. SETTINGS THAT MATCH THE DESKTOP Four tabs β€” General Β· Softkeys Β· Gestures Β· Themes β€” share the same profile model as the desktop client. Bind 1-finger swipes and flicks to your most-used keys. Edit ANSI palette colors live. BUILT FOR iOS A 3-finger long-press surfaces a quick menu. A right-edge swipe pulls in the native server list. A left-edge swipe opens the session list. iOS 17+, Apple silicon. Source-available Β· Self-hosted Β· No telemetry. Your terminal stays on your network.

Ezssh

A real SSH client that fits in your pocket. Connect and you get an actual terminal: TAB, CTRL, ESC, arrows and F1-F12 sit right above the keyboard, so typing commands feels the way it does on a desktop. Sessions stay alive when you switch apps, and the screen never dims while you are reading output. ALL YOUR SERVERS, ONE APP Save a host once - address, port, user, key - and connect with a single tap afterwards. Group them, rename them, find them in seconds. Credentials live in the device keychain only: never uploaded anywhere, never leaving your phone. FILES WITHIN REACH Built-in SFTP: send scripts, configs and logs straight from your phone; open files on the server without downloading them first, edit and push back. Multi-select, zip and unzip are there when a batch needs to move. LET AI TYPE THE COMMANDS Describe what you need done and it runs the commands on the machine step by step, showing you every line. Anything destructive - a delete, a restart - waits for your approval first. You choose which provider to connect; keys stay on your device. SEE THE STATE AT A GLANCE CPU, memory, disk, load and network refresh in real time. One look tells you whether a box is struggling. DETAILS THAT MATTER Pick your terminal font, size and theme. Keep the screen awake while you read. Sync hosts across devices with iCloud. Dark mode, Dynamic Type and accessibility labels included. WHO IT IS FOR - Ops and SRE: a 3 a.m. alert no longer means hunting for a laptop. - Developers and site owners: confirm a deploy while on the move. - Homelab and NAS owners: Raspberry Pi, routers and Docker hosts, always reachable. - Anyone learning Linux: practise commands on the phone you already carry. EZSSH PRO The free version keeps 1 host and 2 AI questions a day. Pro removes the ceiling: unlimited hosts, file preview and editing, upload and download, multi-select with zip and unzip, and unlimited AI. SUBSCRIPTION AND TERMS - Subscription: one year, renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID subscription settings; you keep access until the current period ends. A one-time lifetime purchase is also available. - Terms of Use (EULA): https://docs.zeckw.com/docs/apps/ezssh/eula.html - Privacy Policy: https://docs.zeckw.com/docs/apps/ezssh/private.html
