The SSH essentials that matter on mobile

PocketSSH focuses on what you use most—connecting, typing, switching hosts, and reading output—so it feels direct and touch-native, not bloated.

01

Multi-host profiles

Save server profiles and switch environments fast, with less retyping of host, port, and username.

02

Password & private key auth

Password login and private key import for personal devices, staging, and stricter ops policies.

03

Live terminal interaction

Immediate feedback for logs, scripts, config edits, and checking remote state.

04

Mobile shortcut bar

ESC, TAB, arrows, Ctrl/Alt, and common keys so touch devices can do what physical keyboards usually handle.

05

Theme support

Light, dark, and follow system for readability in low light and long sessions.

06

Local configuration storage

Host profiles stay on your device for quick access and a clear data boundary.

A usable SSH workflow on a small screen

The home, privacy, and terms pages share one idea: PocketSSH is built for mobile remote access—not a shrunk-down desktop client.

01

Faster connects

Keep server details, authentication, and entry points in one place—less copy-paste and re-editing.

02

Easier input

The shortcut bar covers common terminal controls so phones and tablets aren’t slowed down by typing alone.

03

Clearer boundaries

Product pages spell out local storage, permissions, and legal limits so there’s less confusion about what data is handled.

Mobile remote work when you need it

When you’re away from a desk but need to log in, check status, or run a quick command, PocketSSH covers the typical slice of that workflow.

01

Check production on the go

Log into prod or staging hosts to review processes, disk, logs, and deploy results.

Ops checks Log review Status checks
02

Triage alerts and outages

Run the connections and commands you need on your phone to stabilize first, then dig deeper at a desktop.
