Malvek: SSH & SFTP Client
SSH Terminal & SFTP Client
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Malvek is a mobile SSH client built for people who are tired of paying a subscription to open a terminal.
No backend. No account. No tracking. Everything stays on your device.
- Generate Ed25519 SSH keys right on your phone — private keys live in the iOS Keychain and never leave your device
- Full SSH terminal with password or key authentication
- SFTP file browser — upload and download without leaving the app
- Save unlimited hosts and command snippets (after unlocking)
- Trust-on-first-use host key verification, like the ssh CLI you already trust — Malvek warns you if a host's key ever changes unexpectedly
- Hardened cipher support (AES-GCM) for modern, hardened servers
We have zero backend. Your passwords, keys, and host configs are stored in the iOS Keychain and a local database on your device — nowhere else. We can't see them. We can't lose them. They're yours.
One free saved host to try it out. Unlock everything with a single one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring charge, ever.
Coming in a future update: multi-device sync, Mosh support, and local port forwarding.
