PocketShell vs DockPilot AI

Manage your servers and projects from your iPhone or iPad. No SSH keys to copy, no ports to forward, no VPN to configure. PocketShell replaces traditional SSH workflows with a secure, mobile-first workspace. Install the lightweight host agent, scan a QR code, and connect to your own machines through encrypted peer-to-peer connections whenever the network allows. Open real terminals, browse files, monitor system stats, transfer files, and now work inside ProjectSpace: a code editor-style mobile workspace for your projects. ProjectSpace brings files, terminal sessions, Git changes, agent chats, and local web previews together so you can inspect, fix, and ship from your phone. Built for developers, on-call engineers, homelab users, and self-hosters who need safe access to machines they own from anywhere. PROJECTSPACE - Browse project folders on your host - Open and edit code with syntax highlighting - Search files and project contents - View Git status and diffs - Stage changes, switch branches, and commit - Open terminals scoped to the project - Preview local dev servers in the built-in Dev Browser HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the PocketShell agent on your host with one command 2. Scan the QR code to pair your phone 3. Open terminals, files, projects, Git, stats, and web previews from your phone FREE FOR UP TO 2 HOSTS - Real terminal sessions with a mobile-friendly keyboard - ProjectSpace for mobile project workflows - Built-in Dev Browser for local web previews - Live monitoring: CPU, memory, disk, network, processes - Browse, preview, upload, and download files - Resume sessions across devices - Direct peer-to-peer connections when your network allows POCKETSHELL PRO - Up to 10 hosts - More ProjectSpace capacity - Direct host-to-host file transfers - Higher file transfer limits - 30 days of historical stats - Multi-device support - Priority alerts and notifications WHY NOT SSH? Traditional SSH apps require you to copy private keys to your phone, expose ports through your router, or set up VPNs to reach machines behind NAT. PocketShell uses encrypted peer-to-peer connections through a lightweight host agent. Pair once, access securely, and avoid key management on mobile. SECURITY PocketShell uses device-bound host pairing, trusted-device approval, biometric unlock, Ed25519 cryptography, and session auditing. Terminal contents are never stored on our servers. Terminal I/O, files, stats, and project data flow directly between your phone and your host whenever the network allows. PocketShell is for accessing machines you own or are authorized to operate.

DockPilot puts an AI copilot for your servers in your pocket. Chat with an AI agent that actually does the work — it SSHes into your servers, runs real commands, reads logs, edits files, and fixes issues, always with your approval (or hands-off in Full-Auto mode). Manage your whole fleet from iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Talk to your servers — "why is nginx down?", "deploy the latest build", "free up disk space" — and watch the AI run the commands. • Full SSH terminal with per-command approval, or Full-Auto for trusted tasks. • 24/7 uptime monitoring with live status, latency, and instant push alerts the moment a site goes down. • Deploy from GitHub — read repos, edit, deploy, and merge pull requests straight from chat. • Apple Watch app — server status, latency, and a live feed of what the AI is doing on your wrist, plus watch-face complications. BRING YOUR OWN AI Use Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini — connect your own account or API key. Switch anytime; your project's memory carries over. PORTABLE AI MEMORY DockPilot remembers your infrastructure so you never re-explain it. Export that memory and drop it into any AI — it's yours to keep. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your SSH keys and API keys are stored in the device Keychain and never leave your device. Projects and chats sync privately through your own iCloud account. DOCKPILOT PRO Full access is available via subscription with a 7‑day free trial — $4.99/month or $39.99/year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription auto-renews yearly unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings.
