SSH client for iPad
SSHaven on iPad is the same native SSH client as on iPhone — a live terminal, Keychain-backed credentials, and a tmux agent board — with more room for a hardware keyboard and longer sessions.
Why iPad is a serious SSH surface
An iPad with a keyboard is close to a portable workstation: you can sit with a folio, type real commands, and keep an agent fleet visible without hauling a laptop. The limiting factor is usually the SSH app — not the hardware.
SSHaven uses an xterm.js terminal with font-size controls and a special-keys toolbar for Esc, Ctrl, arrows, and similar keys when you are on touch-only. Pair a hardware keyboard when you want full typing speed.
Hardware keyboard workflows
- Type normally into the live PTY once a session is connected.
- Use the on-screen special-keys bar when a key is awkward on a compact folio.
- Keep multiple servers saved; jump between a classic shell and tmux agent tabs.
- Leave remote work running — the multi-session SSH pool is built so closing a tab on the iPad does not have to kill the remote job.
Same security model as iPhone
Credentials are still on-device. Passwords and passphrases go in the iOS Keychain; keys are not uploaded to an SSHaven cloud. That holds whether you are on iPhone or iPad.
There is no SSHaven account to sign into before you can SSH. Add a host, authenticate, work.
Agents on the bigger canvas
The agent pilot board is often easier on iPad: more room to scan Running / Needs you / Finished, open a session, and answer an approval prompt. SSHaven is not an on-device model. It attaches to tmux sessions you already run on machines you control.
Price
One App Store purchase — $4.99 — covers iPhone and iPad. No subscription required to open a shell.
