Every feature is in the same app. No paywall splitting essential workflows behind a Pro upgrade, no ad banners on the terminal.
Android SSH client
Mobile SSH
A focused SSH client for Android with multi-session terminals, private key authentication, SFTP file transfer, local port forwarding, and tmux-aware controls built for phone and tablet use.
Why Mobile SSH
Built around the things mobile SSH clients tend to get wrong.
Saved servers, credentials, and keys live on the device. No cloud account; nothing to be sunset.
Add a host once and reconnect with a tap, including key, port, and any tunnels you have configured.
Dedicated row with ESC, TAB, CTRL, ALT, FN, arrows, Home, End, PgUp/PgDn — without fighting Gboard suggestions.
Tunnels attach to the server profile and come up automatically when you connect.
Foreground service, wake locks, and auto-reconnect keep shells alive through screen-off, app switches, and network changes.
Built around Android SSH work
Mobile SSH keeps the common admin path short: save a server, connect, keep sessions alive, move files when needed, and get back to active terminals quickly.
VT100/xterm-256color terminal emulation with color, cursor keys, scrollback, copy, and Android keyboard support.
Run up to eight sessions at once, switch by tapping panes, and double-tap a pane for fullscreen focus.
Use passwords or imported/pasted private keys, including Ed25519, RSA, ECDSA, and DSA keys supported by the app.
Move files between phone storage and a remote server with local and remote browser panes.
Save local tunnel specs with a server profile or add tunnels while connected.
Foreground service, wake locks, keepalives, and reconnect attempts help sessions survive mobile network changes.
Select terminal text to copy, share, or select all visible buffer output; copies go to the Android clipboard.
Gboard suggestions and voice input work alongside the extra key row; composing text buffers cleanly until a word boundary.
One screen, several live shells
The terminal view can hold multiple active SSH sessions in a grid. Select a pane to type, use the extra key row for terminal controls, pinch to adjust text size, and double-tap a pane when you need fullscreen focus.
Session history and active-session recovery help you return to current work after app switches, screen lock, or Android activity recreation.
SFTP when the terminal is not enough
Open file transfer from a connected session to browse phone storage and remote directories. Queue uploads and downloads, sort files, remember recent paths per host, and inspect remote file permissions when deciding what to move.
See it on a real device
Screenshots from Android phones — the same screens you'll use to add servers, work in terminals, run multiple sessions, and move files over SFTP.
How it fits beside Termux and Termius
Mobile SSH is intentionally narrow: it is not a full Linux environment and it is not a cross-platform team vault. It is a local Android SSH/SFTP tool with fast access to the session controls mobile users need most.
