RootDeck vs Ezssh

RootDeck is a fast, secure SSH and SFTP client for iPhone and iPad: a terminal, file manager, server dashboard and AI agent for the servers you already own. Connect to your servers directly — no RootDeck account and no cloud in between. Built for developers, sysadmins and DevOps who need their infrastructure on the go. AI AGENT ON YOUR SERVER • Chat with Codex, Claude Code, Grok or GitHub Copilot running on your own server, or with your own API agent for any OpenAI-compatible provider. • Install the agent and sign in without leaving the app. Choose the model and how hard it thinks. • Decide what the agent may do: read only, the working folder, Auto with a reviewer model, or full access — and approve requests as they come. • Add MCP connectors from the catalog, attach files and photos, and dictate — speech is recognized on the device. • Follow background tasks and your account's usage limits, and sign out to switch accounts. SERVER AND TERMINAL • SSH terminal with ten color themes, Day and Night mode, cursor styles and a key bar with function keys. • Inline command suggestions — RootDeck never runs them on its own. • Server dashboard: CPU, memory, disks, network, services and processes. • Live logs with pause, filtering and links. FILES • SFTP file browser: upload, download, copy, move, rename and delete. • Built-in text editor, file details and permissions. CONNECTIONS • Password and SSH key authentication, jump hosts. • Host key verification against man-in-the-middle attacks. • Find SSH servers on your local network. • Optional: keep your session alive when you switch apps, with a connection card on the Lock Screen. • Linux, macOS and Windows OpenSSH servers. PRIVACY Credentials stay in Apple Keychain. SSH traffic goes straight between your device and your servers; the AI agent talks to its provider from your server, and API keys stay there. RootDeck collects no analytics, and none of our servers sit in the path. Available in English, Russian and Simplified Chinese.

A real SSH client that fits in your pocket. Connect and you get an actual terminal: TAB, CTRL, ESC, arrows and F1-F12 sit right above the keyboard, so typing commands feels the way it does on a desktop. Sessions stay alive when you switch apps, and the screen never dims while you are reading output. ALL YOUR SERVERS, ONE APP Save a host once - address, port, user, key - and connect with a single tap afterwards. Group them, rename them, find them in seconds. Credentials live in the device keychain only: never uploaded anywhere, never leaving your phone. FILES WITHIN REACH Built-in SFTP: send scripts, configs and logs straight from your phone; open files on the server without downloading them first, edit and push back. Multi-select, zip and unzip are there when a batch needs to move. LET AI TYPE THE COMMANDS Describe what you need done and it runs the commands on the machine step by step, showing you every line. Anything destructive - a delete, a restart - waits for your approval first. You choose which provider to connect; keys stay on your device. SEE THE STATE AT A GLANCE CPU, memory, disk, load and network refresh in real time. One look tells you whether a box is struggling. DETAILS THAT MATTER Pick your terminal font, size and theme. Keep the screen awake while you read. Sync hosts across devices with iCloud. Dark mode, Dynamic Type and accessibility labels included. WHO IT IS FOR - Ops and SRE: a 3 a.m. alert no longer means hunting for a laptop. - Developers and site owners: confirm a deploy while on the move. - Homelab and NAS owners: Raspberry Pi, routers and Docker hosts, always reachable. - Anyone learning Linux: practise commands on the phone you already carry. EZSSH PRO The free version keeps 1 host and 2 AI questions a day. Pro removes the ceiling: unlimited hosts, file preview and editing, upload and download, multi-select with zip and unzip, and unlimited AI.
