Bolt SSH vs ShellConnect

Bolt SSH — the SSH terminal made for your phone Everything you need to manage servers from your phone, without the friction. Bolt SSH keeps your hosts and keys organized, locks tight behind biometrics, and gets you reconnected fast when mobile networks drop. Works with Linux/Unix servers and Windows PowerShell (sshd) out of the box. Reconnect without the hassle • Automatic reconnect, plus one-tap manual reconnect from the status bar • Returns you to your remote working directory after reconnecting — no re-cd-ing • Real terminal rendering (xterm.js) with an aux key bar (Esc / Tab / arrows / Ctrl) Security first • App Lock with Face ID / fingerprint — locks the instant you background the app • Trust-on-first-use + known_hosts verification; instant alert on host key change to help stop man-in-the-middle attacks • Private keys and passwords stored in the device secure enclave (Keychain / Keystore), never in plaintext Effortless management • Multi-host manager with color labels, recent-first ordering, and duplicate / edit / delete • Multiple keys — import or paste private keys (OpenSSH / RSA PEM) with passphrase support • English & Chinese Free to download — core features work out of the box. Everything runs locally; nothing routes through our servers.

ShellConnect is a mobile SSH workspace designed to make server and AI CLI work comfortable on a smartphone. Instead of editing a long sentence at a terminal cursor, compose Korean or English requests and multi-line commands in a familiar text box, then send them at once. Switch to Direct mode whenever you need hands-on terminal control. Key features • Direct SSH connections to servers you choose • Request Input for long text and multi-line commands • Direct mode with Esc, Tab, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D, and arrow keys • Workspaces that combine a server with an optional start path • One-line command templates for frequent tasks • D2Coding terminal font with clear Korean text • SSH host-key confirmation on first connection and change warnings • Device-only password protection in the iOS Keychain • Optional app lock with biometrics or device passcode • Optional prevention of automatic screen lock while connected ShellConnect has no account registration, ads, or analytics SDK. SSH credentials and terminal input or output do not pass through PointLink servers. They travel only between your device and the SSH server you select. Note: Mobile operating systems may suspend or terminate background apps. For long-running work, use screen or tmux on the remote server.
