BalauDeck is an all-in-one client for the servers you already run — SSH, SFTP, SSH tunnels, and MySQL/MariaDB — in one fast, native app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. • SSH terminal — a real interactive shell (xterm), password or key auth, host-key verification, and an on-screen key bar for the keys phones don't have. • SFTP browser — upload, download, rename, delete, mkdir, and change permissions (chmod), with an option to browse elevated. • SSH tunnels — forward a local port through a server to reach an internal service. • MySQL/MariaDB client — schema browser, SQL editor with highlighting, a results grid you can edit inline, table designer, and SQL import/export. • Split panes & full screen — arrange several sessions side by side, or maximize one to fill the display. • Resilient connections — keepalive detects drops, with reconnect and optional tmux session persistence so you pick up exactly where you left off. • Cross-device sync — export an encrypted, passphrase-protected bundle of your connections and import it on another device. Nothing is stored on our servers. Your connections and credentials stay on your device (passwords and keys live in the system keychain). BalauDeck has no account, no tracking, and no ads.
