Clayshell

SSH servers, calm and clear

Free

A calm home for your servers: a real terminal, files, live monitoring, PM2 and alerts over SSH. No account, nothing collected. Keys stay in the Keychain. Clayshell is an SSH server manager for people who run their own servers. Add a server once, then do the daily work without leaving the app. TERMINAL A real terminal with full colour, in tabs. Your own shell, as many sessions as you need. FILES Browse the server over SFTP. Upload, download, rename, delete, make files and folders, and preview text files. EDITOR WITH A BACKUP Open a file on the server, edit it and save. Before every save the previous version is kept next to it as a .bak file, and one tap puts it back. If the file changed on the server while you were editing, Clayshell tells you instead of overwriting it. MONITOR CPU, memory, disk, load, uptime and the busiest processes, live, for Linux servers. PM2 See your PM2 processes, start, stop and restart them, and follow their logs. ALERTS Be told when a disk fills up, when CPU or memory stays high, when a PM2 process goes down, or when a server cannot be reached. On the Mac, Clayshell can watch your servers from the menu bar. A small script can also be installed on the server itself, so alerts reach Telegram, ntfy or a webhook even when your devices are asleep. MORE SSH Jump hosts. Import from your SSH config. Port forwarding. Ed25519, ECDSA and RSA keys, or a password. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU • No account, no analytics, no tracking. Nothing is sent to us. • Passwords and keys are kept in the Keychain on your device. • Clayshell only talks to the servers you add. • It asks before trusting a new server, and stops if a server's key changes. • An optional lock with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. Clayshell has a day and a night look, and works on Mac and iPhone. Monitoring needs a Linux server. The PM2 screen needs PM2 on the server. Server alerts need curl and cron on the server. An RSA key protected by a passphrase is not supported yet.
