Open Terminal vs SSH Connect

Open Terminal is an SSH client for your pocket. Connect to your servers, run commands, transfer files over SFTP and open tunnels, from your pocket. No account, no telemetry. Your hosts and keys stay on your device and in your own iCloud. SSH-2 with modern ciphers. SFTP file transfer. Port forwarding. Key and password authentication. Works with coding agents running on your own machine.

SSH Connect : Secure is a fully offline SSH client and credential vault for your phone. Connect to your servers, run real commands in a full terminal, and keep every key and password encrypted on-device — no account, no cloud sync, no telemetry, ever. TERMINAL • Real interactive SSH sessions — not a mockup. Full ANSI color output, multiple tabs for multiple hosts at once. • On-screen key row (Ctrl, Esc, Tab, arrows, Ctrl+C) built for typing commands without a physical keyboard. • Pin your most-used commands per host for instant one-tap re-run, ranked by how often you actually use them. • Reconnects automatically if a session drops while the app is backgrounded. IDENTITIES & CLIENTS • Save reusable login identities — password, pasted private key, or an imported key file — independent of any single server. • Add servers manually, or import an existing ~/.ssh/config file (including wildcard Host blocks and Include directives). • Organize with tags and favorites; search across hosts, tags, and usernames. SESSIONS • Every session's full transcript (commands and output, timestamped) is saved locally. • Review it anytime, or export and share any transcript through the share sheet. SECURITY • App lock: Face ID, a 6-digit PIN, or no lock at all — your choice, changeable anytime in Settings. • Every credential and every byte of local data is encrypted at rest, keyed by your device's own Keychain — never written to disk in plaintext. • Back up your whole vault (servers, identities, pinned commands) to a single password-protected, AES-256-encrypted file, and restore it on another device — merge-safe, it never overwrites what's already there. PRIVACY No account. No backend. No analytics. No ads. Nothing ever leaves your device except your own SSH traffic to your own servers. Built for developers and sysadmins who need a real terminal in their pocket.
