NEW in 33: run a command or a snippet on several hosts at once, a smarter Terminal State Bar, alternative addresses per host, and snippet shortcuts.
Whether you're on the go or at your desk, WebSSH keeps you connected — anytime, anywhere! ٩(^‿^)۶
WebSSH is a professional SSH, Mosh, SFTP, Telnet, Serial and Port Forwarding client for iPhone, iPad and Mac, with a built-in Proxmox client and a complete sysadmin toolbox. Built since 2012 for developers, system administrators and IT professionals who need reliable, secure remote access wherever they are.
CONNECT WITH CONFIDENCE
Authenticate with passwords, two-factor challenge, or keys (RSA, DSA, ED25519, PuTTY). Jump through bastion hosts, keep an alternative address per host for when you are inside or outside your network, and let known hosts protect you from surprises. Full terminal emulation (XTERM-256COLOR, XTERM, VT100) with WebGL rendering, split panes, inline images, buffer search, session recording and custom profiles — themes, fonts, colors and keyboard shortcuts tailored to your workflow.
NEW IN 33: ONE COMMAND, EVERY HOST
Run a command or a snippet on several hosts at once and watch the results come back side by side. The Terminal State Bar now shows more about the machine you are on, snippets get keyboard shortcuts on Mac, and the keyboard accessory keys can carry your own icons.
MANAGE FILES REMOTELY
The integrated SFTP and SCP client lets you browse directories, create, rename, upload and download files — and edit text files directly within the app. WebSSH can also open .txt files from anywhere on your device.
MORE THAN SSH
Mosh keeps your session alive through network changes, sleep and flaky connections — switch from Wi-Fi to cellular and pick up right where you left off. Telnet supports direct and interactive authentication, including the CP437 character set for BBS servers. Serial connections support full configuration (baud rate, parity, stop bits, flow control).
TUNNEL ANYTHING
Local and dynamic port forwarding, VPN over SSH to route your device's traffic through a server, port knocking and Wake-on-LAN to reach machines that are not listening yet.
PROXMOX AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Connect to one or more Proxmox servers and clusters, monitor your nodes at a glance (CPU, memory, storage), and manage your VMs and LXC containers — start, stop, reboot and migrate them right from your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
SNIPPETS THAT WORK FOR YOU
Save the commands you type every day, add dynamic variables, sync them from a GitHub Gist and fire them with a shortcut.
BUILT-IN SYSADMIN TOOLKIT
Quick diagnostics without leaving the app: Ping, Traceroute, DNS Lookup with propagation check, Whois, network scanner, Certificate Checker, Postmaster for SMTP and DMARC audits, HTTP Forge for crafted requests, Hex Viewer, Baker for data transformations, Code Forge for QR codes, Subnet Calculator, Cron generator, Password Generator and end-to-end encrypted Secret Share. The mashREPL local shell (ls, grep, curl, ping, tar and more) works even without internet access.
PRIVACY. PERIOD.
No account. No analytics. No ads. Your connections stay on your device, and iCloud sync only runs when you turn it on.
WHY WEBSSH?
Most SSH clients are either too basic or too bloated. WebSSH hits the sweet spot: professional-grade features, a clean mobile-first interface, and rock-solid reliability — every on-device feature unlocked with a single one-time PRO purchase, yours for life on every device.
One app. Every protocol. Zero compromises.
Download WebSSH and keep your servers close at hand, no matter where you are.

Excellent app. Arnaud, I wish you the very best and bless you for your labour of love on this app. I hope you use an apple ipad as much as I do, because you will have every incentive to keep using the app yourself and doing all those little quality of life improvements over time. Even if you do not have millions of users, the ones you do have are very, very glad you started this project.

Awesome support
AppleUser7771
Generally an exemplary application in many ways, about as good as it’s probably possible to make an SSH client on a phone, in my opinion.Today the support showed a commitment to satisfaction I rarely see these days. From bug first reported, through diagnosis, fixed, debug version released immediately for those people who needed it ASAP and the update in the App Store all before the end of the same day!Well done. :)

Hello AppleUser7771 🇬🇧 👋Apology for any inconvenience that the bug of July 12th may have caused.I would like to thanks any user who have reported and waited for a fix on that day.Thank you so much for your great and strong review about WebSSH 🙏Hope you will enjoy the upcoming releases as well 😉I wish you the best and a nice day ☀️
The most fully featured terminal
I, touchy
I'm excited about this app as it's the most fully-featured terminal app I've seen, with a really nice hi-res font and keyboard extension. Bonus features like tunnelling work really well with the extended background operation, too. I've not found the extended keyboard as easy to use as others but the virtual arrows are really good. The app is also under very fast development so I'm sure things will continue to improve!

Hello 🇬🇧. 👋Thank you so much for your review about WebSSH 🙏 ❤️You're right keyboard should be improved in order to be as easy as you need.I hope you will enjoy the upcoming releases.Have a nice day ☀️
Completes the job and completely free
BlakeTheKing11
It allows you to use a terminal like you would on PC and unlike many other ssh apps it’s fully free. It doesn’t have annoying pop ups or ads asking you to buy some full version except one that goes away within seconds. It has a simple UI so it’s easy to use and even features a nice SFTP among other great features

WebSSH PRO is, and will always be, a one-time lifetime purchase.
A few users have told me they'd like to contribute more than the one-time price.
So there's now an option to leave a small voluntary tip (monthly or yearly).
As a thank-you, supporters unlock a few digital goodies: mini games and other delightfully useless things ;oD
On a more personal note: over the next few months I'll be dedicating a lot more time to WebSSH.
My hope is to eventually make it my main livelihood — but never at your expense.
WebSSH has been going for over a decade, and it's not stopping either way.
So the promise stands, and it isn't going anywhere: PRO is bought once, kept forever.
Tipping is entirely optional, and always will be. (^◡^)
(Please note that you can only leave a tip if you have already purchased WebSSH PRO)
