NetShell 3.0.1 - Redesigned, Inside and Out
The biggest visual and usability release since 1.0.
A WHOLE NEW LAYOUT
Every screen was redesigned on a new adaptive layout - a bolder Home, card grids for your network and servers, and true multi-column layouts on iPad and Mac instead of a stretched phone view.
SERVER STATUS, UPGRADED
A fleet overview shows N-of-M online with a health ring and fleet-wide stats, and richer server cards surface Load, Memory, and Disk with the actual figures. Servers that need attention rise to the top, and tapping a card opens the full detail view - performance history, system info, SSL, quick actions, and Ask AI.
APP PASSCODE
Unlock NetShell with a typed 6-digit code as an alternative to Face ID. Set, change, or remove it in Settings > Security - stored securely on your device.
PASTE YOUR SNIPPET LIBRARY
Build your whole command library on your computer - or have an AI write it - in a simple text format, then paste it in once. Sections map to categories, and iCloud syncs it to every device.
BIG TRANSFERS, NO LIMITS
A real transfer queue for SFTP and SMB with per-file progress, cancel, and retry — and much smoother large-file handling, including previews of any size.
TERABYTES, FINALLY
Storage readouts auto-scale everywhere - KB, MB, GB, TB, and beyond - across servers, Docker, files, and the performance charts.
RESIZE THE TERMINAL LIVE
Change the terminal font size right from a session - tap the menu and go bigger or smaller instantly, no trip to Settings.
SETTINGS, REORGANIZED
A clean hub of category screens with a true sidebar layout on iPad and Mac, improved data export, and full-page Privacy, Terms, and Support.
LATEST AI MODELS, ALWAYS
Claude (Opus 4.8, Sonnet 5, Haiku 4.5), GPT-5 and o-series, current Ollama builds, and on-device Apple Intelligence - and the model list refreshes itself, so new models appear without waiting for an app update.
Plus dozens of polish fixes from a full usability review - accurate performance-history time ranges, richer device fingerprinting, resilient terminal sessions, and clearer forms and empty states throughout.
