Features
Read full description

Telyrix is a native SSH and SFTP client for iPhone and iPad, built for developers, system administrators, DevOps engineers, and anyone who needs secure access to remote servers. Connect to Linux and Unix servers, keep terminal sessions ready, browse remote files over SFTP, run reusable command snippets, and reach internal web interfaces through an SSH-protected built-in browser. BUILT FOR REAL SERVER WORK โ€ข Native SSH terminal with retained sessions โ€ข Password and SSH key authentication โ€ข Explicit SSH server identity verification โ€ข One-hop ProxyJump for jump-host workflows โ€ข SFTP browser for remote files and folders โ€ข Reusable command snippets for common administration tasks โ€ข Optional local terminal session recordings โ€ข Configurable SSH connection timeout โ€ข Full-screen terminal experience on iPad โ€ข Built-in browser for internal HTTP and HTTPS services through SSH SECURITY BY DESIGN Telyrix never silently trusts an unknown SSH server. New host keys require explicit verification, and jump-host and target identities are verified independently. Saved credentials use iOS Keychain. SSH credentials, private keys, terminal input and output, terminal recordings, SFTP file contents, and Web Proxy browsing content are not provided to the advertising layer. REMOTE ACCESS WITHOUT A CLOUD ACCOUNT Core SSH, SFTP, terminal, snippets, and Web Proxy features do not require a Telyrix cloud account. Use Telyrix to manage VPS instances, development environments, home labs, private servers, routers, hypervisors, and other infrastructure reachable through SSH. Whether you need a quick terminal from your iPhone or a practical remote administration workspace on iPad, Telyrix keeps the tools you need close at hand.
