Features
Read full description

DevBoxMobile is a native remote workspace for developers and homelab users. Bring your Linux, macOS, and Windows servers, tools, and everyday maintenance tasks together on iPhone and iPad. • Discover and organize servers, then inspect their status and services. • Open interactive SSH shells in separate tabs. Choose a saved server or connect to one temporarily. • Browse and transfer files, manage Docker containers, and search logs. • Run read-only checks across selected servers and launch saved maintenance actions. • Build and test HTTP requests, monitor endpoints, and browse supported databases. • Find supported remote coding agents and inspect their running processes. • Access private web services through on-demand SSH port forwarding. • Protect credentials with Keychain and optional Face ID or Touch ID. Export an encrypted backup or back up to your own iCloud account. DevBoxMobile does not host a server for you. Remote features require a server or service you own or administer, suitable network access, and the relevant credentials. Some features depend on software installed on the remote host.
