SSH client for iPhone

SSHaven is a native SSH client for iPhone — a live terminal in your pocket, with passwords and keys in the iOS Keychain, and a pilot board for remote AI agents running in tmux.

What an iPhone SSH client needs to get right

On a phone you are not sitting at a desk. You reconnect from cellular, jump on a home lab over LAN, or check a stuck deploy while away from the laptop. The client has to save hosts, authenticate without leaking secrets to a vendor cloud, and keep a usable shell on a small screen.

SSHaven is built for that job: save hostname, port, and username; sign in with a password or an SSH key; work in an xterm.js terminal with a special-keys toolbar (Esc, Ctrl, arrows, and more).

Connect from anywhere

  • Save multiple servers, mark favorites, and reconnect in a tap.
  • Password auth or import an SSH key (OpenSSH formats such as ed25519 and RSA).
  • Optional biometrics when Keychain unlocks a saved passphrase.
  • Optional local network access for Raspberry Pi, NAS, and other LAN hosts.

Keys stay on the iPhone

Passwords and key passphrases use the iOS Keychain. Private key files stay in the app sandbox. SSHaven does not operate a cloud vault for SSH secrets, and it does not require an SSHaven account to open a shell.

Traffic goes from your device to the hosts you choose — not through an Adam Codes relay. Read the full model on the security page.

More than a shell: agent alerts

If you leave coding agents running on a server (Claude, Codex, Grok, Aider, OpenCode, or a custom command in tmux), SSHaven can list those sessions as a fleet: Running, Needs you, Finished. When an agent hits an approval prompt, you can get a notification on the phone instead of staring at a laptop. Start with Claude Code from iPhone if that is the job.

That is the product wedge versus a generic terminal app. Details: pilot remote AI agents in tmux.

Price

SSHaven is $4.99 one-time on the App Store. There is no subscription required to connect, and no freemium cap on opening a shell.
