HQSSH - SSH Terminal and File Manager
HQSSH is an SSH terminal, SFTP file manager, and AI CLI tool launcher built for developers and DevOps engineers who manage remote servers from their phone.
Full terminal. Full file browser. AI tool integration. Persistent sessions that survive disconnects and follow you across devices.
SSH Terminal
256-color xterm emulation with a keyboard toolbar designed for mobile. ESC, TAB, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D, Ctrl+Z, and arrow keys are always one tap away. Portrait and landscape support. This is a real terminal — not a stripped-down shell.
SFTP File Manager
Browse, upload, download, rename, and delete files on your remote systems. Create directories, change permissions with a chmod dialog, preview text files, and share downloads. Transfer progress tracking with cancel support.
AI CLI Tools
Launch Claude Code, Codex, or Aider directly from your phone. HQSSH discovers git repositories on your remote systems, detects which AI tools are installed, and lets you launch them in the right project directory with one tap. Manage AI-assisted development sessions on the go.
Persistent Sessions
Start a session on your phone. Pick it up later on another device. Sessions survive disconnects and device switches with full scrollback history. Multi-client attach lets you share sessions across devices simultaneously.
SSH Key Management
Generate ED25519, RSA, or ECDSA keys directly in the app. Import existing private keys. Keys are stored securely in the iOS Keychain. Password and private key authentication supported.
Command Snippets
Save frequently used commands as snippets — global or per-system. Organize by category, set auto-execute, and run with one tap. Includes built-in snippets for common operations.
Task Automation
Define reusable tasks at the system or project level. Run deployments, health checks, or any shell command with one tap. Review execution history and output logs.
Multi-System Dashboard
Manage all your servers from a single screen. Active sessions, quick-launch tasks, and recent run history at a glance. Import systems in bulk from your ~/.ssh/config file. Jump host support for bastion connections.
Secure by Default
SSH credentials encrypted with the iOS Keychain. Host key verification with fingerprint tracking. No data sent to third-party services.
Supports any SSH-accessible system running Linux or macOS.
