How much does Shelly cost?
Shelly has several in-app purchases/subscriptions, the average in-app price is €3.99.
I've been using this app for a few years now, and it works reliably. Connections stay open in the background, and multiple connections can be used quite easily. The one time fee is affordable and justified I think. I just wonder how the visionOS support is, it seems to exist at least.
Annoying as hell in the free version
Constantly annoys you with a popup saying to buy the app, no ability to input a user for a connection at least in the free version. Also won't keep the connection open when you switch apps, completely useless at tuat point.
Great for basic SSH tasks
The app works well. Areas of improvement and feature additions:
- better support for brow.sh terminal-based webbrowser
- could include SSH tunneling & SCP functionality
Best ssh app
The best ssh app for iPad - lightweight and no bloat. It's a pity that it hasn't been updated for a long time. I hope the author hasn't abandoned the app.
Works great but major flaw
Its the perfect ssh client, except that if you switch to another app to check something it will close your session. This is a major flaw that could easily be remedied by allowing the user to adjust timeout settings. The app itself is very easy to use and works well but this flaw makes it unusable in certain scenarios and therefore unusable.
No real full screen mode, and bugs
BUGS: Saved "Keyboard and gestures" profiles seem to be overwritten when setting them as a default, or after renaming. I noticed because even when "Auto-Hide On-Screen Toolbar" is checked in the "Hardware Keyboard" section, sometimes the toolbar persists, which is annoying as it wastes screen space. It is also distracting when you have a hardware keyboard.
Even when you manage to make it work (by carefully making backups of your "Keyboard and gestures" profile, renaming twice, and never make any of them the default), the bottom of the screen where the toolbar would go is left blank and unusable, suggesting the toolbar area is always reserved and never usable.
SUGGESTIONS: "Scrollback enabled initially" should be a default, one tap should have an option to open settings (for full screen use), a real full screen mode should be added with just one toggle (without having to fight the toolbar) and actually using the entire screen (not reserving the toolbar area when it's not drawn)
WISHES: a way to remap hardware keyboard keys (ex: Globe)
Made my life easier
This app is a total game-changer. Within minutes, I can reboot, restart, and manage my server—all from my phone. It gives me an unbelievable sense of freedom and control, no matter where I am. Whether I’m traveling or just away from my desk, I have full command at my fingertips. Truly an essential tool for anyone managing servers remotely!
Need GBK please
Add more encoding, please. cp936, GBK, GB18030, Thanks a lot.
Still awesome
Still my goto terminal app for iOS after all these years.
Works perfectly
Works wonderfully. Thoughtful features like swiping for arrow keys. Love being able to securely connect to my home workstation from anywhere!
