NovaScale, Built for Tailscale

SSH, SFTP, Web & Remote Codex

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

NovaScale 1.6 adds touch-first TUI mouse input, on-device dictation, Codex upgrades and turn alerts, monitoring, containers, tailnet proxy browsing, and file sharing. NovaScale is a remote-work and server-operations workspace built for Tailscale. Use SSH, monitoring, private web tools, SFTP, and Remote Codex from one app—without the overhead of repeatedly turning a separate Tailscale VPN connection on and off. Built-in Tailscale keeps your tailnet available inside NovaScale, while traditional SSH hosts and custom control servers such as Headscale remain fully supported. Core SSH, monitoring, web, and Remote Codex workflows are available free with practical limits. NovaScale Pro expands capacity and adds SFTP, flexible iCloud sync, remote push, container deployment, and advanced customization.
