SSH Files – Secure ShellFish

Good bye Prompt, this is the new king of SSH on iOS/Mac I cannot say enough about this app, I share it with everyone. It just works, and works well. Great job devs!

I have yet to see any other shell app that comes close.

I don’t normally write reviews, but ShellFish is soo good that I need to tell others about it. I’ve used other terminal/ssh apps, and nothing compares to the usability of this app. The built-in tmux handling is nice as if I am on a flaky internet connection then I can connect back to the same session and not have to worry about my commands terminating. The port forwarding is great as I’ve been able to use it to connect to services running on a server only available to localhost and use port forwarding to access it. The files app integration is wonderful because I can browse my server files through files app and transfer files that way. Anders is also an indie dev so I feel even better paying the full price for lifetime access (which is also waaay lower than some other apps).

Tons of thoughtful features that make managing servers from a phone easier. It’s an SSH terminal app, it puts your servers into the Files app, it even integrates with Digital Ocean for creating/removing droplets. There are lots of apps that try to do this stuff, but Shellfish is the easy recommendation. It’s been my go-to for years.

All apps from Anders are exactly what developers are looking for. They are feature rich, high performance, have an excellent price policy, have excellent privacy settings. Secure Shellfish easily replaced two most common apps I have been using. I have tried many ssh apps and nothing came closer to this one. Big kudos Anders! Thank you for all the hard work.

Never thought of iPad as a great tool for remotely accessing ssh servers. This makes it great with ssh key integration. Wish it supported 1Password ssh keys and it would be the hands down best app on my iPad

Secure Shellfish is my 100% most used utility on iOS. Great for not just accessing files, but the SSH Terminal is top tier, replacing all the other apps I used before. Get the upgrade, you won’t regret it.

Using it daily to transfer files across multiple servers. So much value packed in there when creating documents across multiple apps!

Easy to use ssh terminal.
