Description

Lightning fast SSH terminal with remote file access. No other app fuses your SSH servers and iOS devices as well as Secure ShellFish. Tap Get and see for yourself. Terminal supports standard text editing gestures for selection, scrolling and copy/paste as well as custom gestures to send arrow keys and tabulator making shell entry and full screen editing with vim or emacs delightful. Bar above the keyboard makes it easy to type special keys and insert snippets. Select and drag filenames out of the terminal as actual files and drag files from other apps into the terminal to upload. Use built-in tmux support to persist terminal sessions if you lose Internet access, pick existing sessions with thumbnails and Handoff sessions between devices. Server file system is available in the Files app and recently accessed files and directories are cached to make them available when offline. Use apps like Textastic and iA Writer for a native editing experience working on your remote server files. Upload files or entire directories from the share sheet with minimal friction as the last destination directory for each kind of file is remembered or automate file transfers in the Shortcuts app. Connect to your Mac, Synology NAS and any other SSH server or create new Digital Ocean droplets or GitHub Codespaces right from the app. Secure ShellFish is useful as a free app and paying pro users can disable ads in the terminal, upload through the Files app and configure unlimited number of servers.

    Use it every day on iPhone and iPad for targets at my home, work, and church. Clearly loved by its developer, with frequent feature updates.

    Best ssh client with lots of value added. File sharing through Files app is fantastic. Check out Working Copy by same dev for the best git client.
  • Absolutely Outstanding

    Easily the most full-functioned, enjoyable application on my iPad (useful on the iPhone too). Even supports a fully keyed quick terminal picker & custom fonts. Truly perfect, & the purchase goes to an independent developer. This is the iPad terminal you’ve been looking for.

    You never through you were capable of, sans computer. Use this along with TailScale and you’ve got your home desktop whenever you want.

    Amazingly built tool, high quality and configurable. Well maintained with both feature and bug fix releases, and great release notes explaining what’s changed for anyone interested. My only issue is I don’t have to enough reasons to use this app. Keep up the great work!
  • Not only is this THE best…

    It has a “JUST BUY ME” model! Which is so rare! Give this one your money, it somehow feels like it does so much more than advertised. I can’t put my finger on it but I have never felt slighted for throwing my money at it.
  • My favorite SSH tool for the iPad!

    I spend the vast majority of my workday with terminal sessions open on multiple devices, and this is my favorite program for the iPad. It’s very well done, and very functional. I highly recommend it.
  • so many features

    shellfish is a fantastic SSH client that's simple and easy to use. I keep finding new crazy features with it. It seems like there's no end to all the fancy features to find like files app integration, widgets, tmux integration, and even launching ipad shortcuts from bash. tbh the files app integration on it's own makes this app worth even if you don't use SSH at all, it just makes it so easy to move files across machines.
  • Great networking client!!!

    Does all the things! Rock solid. Allows me to ssh into linux machines and do some serious development work that I unfortunately cannot (yet?) do directly on my iPad.
  • More than I expected

    I originall needed a way to access files on my Mac server, from my iPhone, that is. The iPhone integration with the Files app makes this very straightforward. I am even able to stream films from my server to my iPhone, so no more lugging of a hard disk copy of my server files. The purchase of the iOS version also entitled me to the Mac version. I did not see a need for it because I use Cyberduck for my SSH file transfers. That is, until I discovered that, on the Mac, too, I can now mount the SSH target in the FInder, which makes SSH tranfers much easier.
