Pling: SSH Client & SFTP

The AI-native terminal

Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Your servers in your pocket. SSH, push alerts, agentic commands, and live monitoring on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Built for ops on the move. Your servers, in your pocket. Pling is the most powerful SSH client and push notification platform for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Spin up a terminal in seconds, or say what you want done and let Pling run the session. COMMAND AGENT Describe a task in plain English and Pling runs the SSH session for you: planning, dispatching, reading output, and adjusting as it goes. It asks on real decisions and stops before anything destructive. Launch it from the new Spotlight launcher or any terminal. SSH & TERMINAL A real terminal: full ANSI color, true emulation, and good-looking themes. Connect with SSH or Mosh. Mosh keeps sessions alive through subway tunnels and cellular handoffs. Jump hosts, SSH config import, and live port forwarding you can edit mid-session. Plus CRT mode, keyboard reordering, and saved snippets. REMOTE DESKTOP Stream and control a host's full graphical desktop in-app over hardware-accelerated H.264. Move the pointer, type on-screen, pinch to zoom, and push resolution, frame rate, and bitrate to your link's limit. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS Hook up servers, scripts, and CI with one HTTP request. Custom channels, low-to-critical priorities, and action URLs to a runbook. End-to-end encrypted, delivered even when Pling is closed. AI COMMANDS & VOICE Forget a flag? Generate commands with AI tuned to your setup, or speak them on-device with Whisper or Apple Speech. Add photos or files for context. SERVER MONITORING Watch CPU, memory, disk, network, and uptime live via our agent or over SSH. Set thresholds and get pushed the moment a box runs hot. SFTP FILE MANAGER Browse, upload, download, and edit remote files natively. Preview images, PDFs, and docs. Search the directory and multi-select for bulk delete or downloads. WAKE ON LAN Power on a sleeping machine remotely. Pling reads the MAC from an SSH session or takes yours, then sends the magic packet directly or via another host, with live status until it wakes. SESSIONS & HOSTS Every host card shows live reachability, plus a badge when the Pling agent is installed. Split-pane terminals on iPad, session recording, and live sharing to pair in real time. Tap a host with a tmux or zellij session running and Pling jumps back in instead of duplicating it. Save a Workspace; hosts plus their sessions; and restore it on any synced device. Batch commands and schedule recurring jobs 24/7. SECURITY Keys and credentials live in Keychain, behind Face ID or Touch ID, with auto-lock, host verification, and fingerprint management. Optionally sync SSH keys and passwords via your Pling Account, with an audit screen for what syncs and what stays local. YOUR PLING ACCOUNT Sign in with Apple or Google to your own account; link both or merge duplicates. Your hosts, keys, and settings sync across devices, and you can now use Pling on the web. APPLE WATCH, WIDGETS & SIRI Triage notifications, check status, and run commands from your wrist with iPhone nearby; complications show unread counts. Pin hosts to your Home Screen and ask Siri if prod is up.

Agentic Command Tell Pling what you want done in plain English and it runs the SSH session for you: planning each step, dispatching agent, reading the output, and adjusting as it goes. It asks a quick question when it hits a real decision and stops to check with you before anything destructive. Kick it off from the new Spotlight-style launcher or the Command Agent button in any terminal. Screen: Remote Desktop See and control a host's full graphical desktop right inside the app, streamed live as smooth, hardware-accelerated H.264 video. Move the pointer with precision, type on the on-screen keyboard, pinch to zoom and pan, and push the resolution, frame rate and bitrate as high as your connection allows. Wake on LAN Power on a sleeping machine without getting up. Pling can auto-detect its MAC address from an active SSH session or take one you enter by hand, then send the magic packet straight to it or bounce it through another host on the same network, with live status until it wakes. Sign in with Google Sign in with Google now sits right alongside Sign in with Apple. Link both to a single Pling account so your hosts, keys and settings follow you to every device, and merge a second account into your main one if you started out on the wrong sign-in. Your Pling Account Signing up now creates a Pling account that's yours. Sign in to Pling on the web with it today, and it's the groundwork for Pling coming to more of your devices, with your hosts, keys and settings synced across every one. Your profile photo rides along too, so it's the same wherever you sign in. Live Host Status Every host card now tells you at a glance whether it's reachable, with a live online dot and a badge when the Pling agent is installed. Offline hosts quietly hide the actions you can't use right now, so the menu only ever shows what actually works. Smarter Sessions Tap a host that already has a tmux or zellij session running and Pling jumps straight back into it instead of opening a duplicate. And when a host can't be reached, it offers to close out the dead sessions in a single tap.
