Shellter vs Telyrix

Shellter is an SSH, SFTP and FTP client that keeps everything on your phone. There is no account to create, nothing syncs, and the app sends no telemetry. It opens connections to the servers you type in, and makes no other network request. That is the whole product. A REAL TERMINAL — An interactive shell rendered with xterm, not a toy console. It follows the keyboard, resizes the remote PTY when you rotate the phone, and keeps 10,000 lines of scrollback FILES WITHOUT A SECOND LOGIN — Browse, upload, download, rename, delete and create folders over SFTP or FTP. Open the file browser from inside a live SSH session and it reuses that connection instead of opening another one. A download never silently overwrites a file you already have. HOST KEYS, PINNED AND CHECKED — The server's host key is pinned the first time you connect and compared on every reconnect. If it does not match, the connection stops BEFORE authentication — your password is never sent to a server that failed the check. WHERE YOUR SECRETS LIVE — Passwords and private keys go into the iOS Keychain, hardware-backed where supported, stored "this device only" so they cannot be restored onto another phone. HONEST ABOUT PROTOCOLS — SSH and SFTP are verified by host-key pinning. FTPS is encrypted but does not verify the certificate. FTP is cleartext. Prefer SFTP.

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 • Native SSH terminal with retained sessions • Password and SSH key authentication • Explicit SSH server identity verification • One-hop ProxyJump for jump-host workflows • SFTP browser for remote files and folders • Reusable command snippets for common administration tasks • Optional local terminal session recordings • Configurable SSH connection timeout • Full-screen terminal experience on iPad • 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.
