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 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.

  • Best SSH terminal app I’ve found

    Haven’t found anything better than this one at the things it sets out to do. The advertisements are unobtrusive and rare. It would be nice if the premium version wasn’t so expensive, but alas.
  • Awesome some piece of software

    ShellFish makes my iPad a much more useful tool. It lets me manage my various systems via SSH with ease. Including TMUX support. I recently had a feature request, and the author Anders wrote back in less than a day with a suggestion to try out an existing feature which should get close to what I was asking for. I haven’t made use of the Files integration yet, but I will figure out how to get it in to my workflow.

    Being able to access the files on your remote repo through the iOS file browser is pretty much just awesome. It's not as easy as a full IDE, but it's good when you're on the go.
  • Amazing for raspberry pi

    I’ve been using this for quite a while. I’ve primarily used it with my raspberry pi, connecting to it from my iPhone and iPad, and even from my Mac. I find it indispensable. I was surprised to see I hadn’t even rated it yet! So this is long overdue. Shellfish is super full featured and very well designed. A must-have app for your iPhone, iPad, even Mac. If I could pay again I would do it just to toss the devs a bone.

    I am donald rumsfeld’s worst nightmare: i REVEL in my unknown unknowns (and there are so many of them!)! in my twilight years i’ve decided to become a ‘dev’ (great timing ive been told) and, after two months, i’d say i’ve accomplished it. so you can imagine the terrors i’ve committed sshing into god knows where, doing gawd knows what, and yet this app has never quailed! has gently steered me in the right direction and, in all seriousness, has actually taught me quite a bit! i never would have experimented with digitalocean droplets if the developer didn’t make is such a breeze to sign up (and then DESTROY) those beautiful droplets. i can’t imagine how much power this app would have in the hands of someone who actually knew what tmux was. too bad this person does not exist. Buy the app, seriously it’s beautifully designed, works amazing and is CONSTANTLY being updated. fifteen thousand stars!
