Where each app is typically strong

Termius — a mature, multi-platform SSH client. People pick it for a polished host library and optional sync or team features tied to an account.
Blink Shell — a keyboard-first iOS terminal, often chosen for iPad hardware-keyboard use and Mosh. It is a terminal environment more than an agent board.
Prompt 3 — Panic’s SSH client for Apple devices: focused, visually considered, not a tmux fleet manager.
SSHaven — a focused SSH client plus a tmux agent pilot. Secrets stay on-device. No SSHaven cloud vault. $4.99 once.

Who SSHaven is for

Choose SSHaven if you want iPhone/iPad SSH without creating a vendor account, you care that keys never go to our cloud, and you actually run agents in tmux on machines you own. Choose a broader suite if you need team vaults, desktop sync across many OSes, or Mosh as the headline feature — SSHaven does not claim those. Pricing-only SERP: one-time SSH vs Termius subscription.
