PocketShell

Terminal, files & monitoring

Free · In-App Purchases

Manage servers from your phone via secure agent + WebRTC. No SSH keys, no port forwarding. Free for 2 hosts. Pro unlocks 10 hosts, alerts, historical stats. Manage your servers from your iPhone or iPad — no SSH keys to copy, no ports to forward, no VPN to configure. PocketShell replaces traditional SSH workflows with a modern, mobile-first approach. Install our lightweight host agent, scan a pairing code, and you're connected — securely, over encrypted peer-to-peer connections. No private keys on your phone. No port forwarding on your router. No VPN tunnels to maintain. Pair your Mac, Linux server, Raspberry Pi, NAS, or VPS, then open real terminal sessions, monitor live system stats, and transfer files directly from your phone. Secured by biometric unlock and device-bound pairing. Built for developers, on-call engineers, homelab users, and self-hosters who need safe access to their own machines from anywhere. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the PocketShell agent on your host (one command) 2. Pair your phone with a short-lived code 3. Connect directly via encrypted peer-to-peer, no SSH keys needed FREE FOR UP TO 2 HOSTS - Real terminal sessions with a mobile-friendly keyboard - Live monitoring: CPU, memory, disk, network, processes - Browse, preview, upload, and download files - Resume sessions across devices - Direct peer-to-peer connections when your network allows POCKETSHELL PRO - Up to 10 hosts - Direct host-to-host file transfers (no local download needed) - Higher file transfer limits - 30 days of historical stats - Multi-device support - Priority alerts and notifications WHY NOT SSH? Traditional SSH apps require you to copy private keys to your phone, expose ports through your router, or set up VPNs to reach machines behind NAT. PocketShell uses encrypted peer-to-peer connections through a lightweight host agent — pair once, access forever, no key management required. SECURITY PocketShell uses device-bound host pairing, trusted-device approval, biometric unlock, Ed25519 cryptography, and session auditing. Terminal contents are never stored on our servers. Terminal I/O, files, and stats flow directly between your phone and your host whenever the network allows. PocketShell is for accessing machines you own or are authorized to operate.
