Your servers in your pocket. SSH, push alerts, AI commands, and live monitoring — on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Built for ops on the move.
Your servers, in your pocket. Pling is the most powerful SSH client and push notification platform built for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch — for developers, sysadmins, and DevOps who refuse to be chained to a desk.
Spin up a terminal in seconds. Fire commands at a fleet. Get pinged the moment a deploy fails. Pling turns your iPhone into a full ops command center — fast, gorgeous, and native.
SSH & TERMINAL
A real terminal, not a toy. Full ANSI color, true emulation, themes that actually look good. SSH or Mosh — with Mosh, your session survives subway tunnels, airplane Wi-Fi, and cellular handoffs. Jump hosts, port forwarding, and one-tap SSH config import.
PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
Hook up servers, scripts, and CI with a single HTTP request. Custom channels, priorities from low to critical, and action URLs that jump straight to a runbook. End-to-end encrypted, delivered even when Pling is closed.
AI ASSISTANT
Forget which flag you need? Just ask. Generate commands with AI tuned to your environment, or speak them with on-device Whisper or Apple Speech — no cloud, no leaks.
SERVER MONITORING
Watch CPU, memory, disk, network, and uptime in real time. Drop in our lightweight agent or poll over SSH. Set thresholds and get pushed the moment a box gets hot.
SFTP FILE MANAGER
Browse, upload, download, and edit remote files with a native file manager. Preview images, PDFs, and documents.
TERMINAL CUSTOMIZATION
Pick from a curated theme library or roll your own. Crank up CRT mode with scanlines, glow, and vignette. Drag-to-reorder your keyboard and save command snippets.
SESSION MANAGEMENT
Split-pane terminals on iPad, session recording for replay, and live session sharing so you can pair in real time. Batch commands across every host. Schedule recurring jobs 24/7.
SECURITY
Keys and credentials live in Keychain, locked behind Face ID or Touch ID. Auto-lock, known host verification, and fingerprint management built in.
APPLE WATCH
Triage notifications, check host status, and pull quick metrics from your wrist. Complications keep your unread count on every watch face.
WIDGETS & SHORTCUTS
Pin hosts and notification counts to your Home Screen. Ask Siri to list hosts or check if prod is up.

Adaptive layouts, iCloud sync, and a native feel on every Apple platform.

Ratings & Reviews

HUGE SUMMER UPDATE!
Tailscale Device Import
Paste a Tailscale API key and import every device on your tailnet as a Pling host in one tap. Connect by MagicDNS name. This means: no IPs to remember. Your Tailscale app handles the networking, so routing just works as long as it's running.
Shared tmux & zellij Sessions
Pling agent now detects tmux and zellij sessions on your servers and lets you attach, share with guests, or kill them from the new Sharing hub. Pair on a long-running session from your phone without anyone having to redial in.
Hetzner Cloud Server Import
Drop in a Hetzner Cloud API token and pull every server (IPv4 and IPv6) into Pling as a saved host. Same one-tap flow we already have for AWS and DigitalOcean.
Chat Mode
A new way to talk to the AI assistant; type questions, attach screenshots from your photo library, and get answers in a conversational thread instead of one-shot commands. Toggle it per-session or set it as the default in Settings.
Annotate Images Before Sending
Drawing tools on every attached image. Circle the error, underline the line number, or scribble a note before you ship it to the AI or off to a teammate. Built on PencilKit so Apple Pencil and finger input both feel right.
Docker Container Logs
Tap any container on a host to stream its logs live. Pling finds the docker binary wherever it lives (PATH, Homebrew, /usr/local/bin) so it works on macOS, Linux, and orchestrated boxes without setup.
New Snippet Packs
Curated command snippets for Docker, systemd, and Adobe Campaign Classic. Enable a pack from Settings → Snippets and the commands show up in your terminal accessory bar. No copying from a wiki, no guessing flags.
Enhanced Onboarding
A redesigned welcome flow that walks you through hosts, push, AI, and Chat Mode on first launch, with a skip option at every step. Faster setup whether you're a first-timer or restoring from iCloud.
More Languages
Pling now speaks Czech, Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese, bringing the total to 24 languages.
Homebrew Install for Pling Agent
On macOS, install the Pling agent with a single brew install; service ops, logs, and config live under your brew prefix and start automatically after token setup.
More Terminal Fonts
A fresh selection of monospaced fonts in Settings → Terminal Font, including ligature-aware options so arrows, comparisons, and markdown symbols render cleanly in editors and git diffs.
Alternate App Icons
Three new icons to pick from in Settings. Bonfire, Midnight, and Capybara: alongside the default. Match Pling to your home screen aesthetic. Capybara's my oldest daughter's favorite, so give it a try.
