DevBoxMobile

About this app

Manage your servers from your phone or tablet with DevBoxMobile. Connect directly over SSH using your own server credentials. No additional DevBox agent is required.

TERMINALS THAT FIT YOUR WORK
Open multiple SSH tabs, use split terminals, and access handy terminal shortcuts. Create or resume persistent tmux sessions on supported servers so remote work can continue after you disconnect. Persistent sessions require tmux on the server.

FILES AND CONTAINERS
Browse remote files with SFTP. Upload, download, rename, create folders and manage transfers with progress and cancellation. Inspect Docker containers, view logs and resource statistics, and confirm start, stop or restart actions.

REMOTE TOOLS
Check server information, system logs and services. Create SSH port forwards and open a local web interface with an editable URL path or query. Discover supported remote agents and connect to their available interfaces. Available features depend on the server operating system, installed software and account permissions.

A MOBILE WORKSPACE
Send API requests, view Prometheus or Netdata metrics, run confirmed commands across selected hosts, and keep a library of reusable shell commands. Connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL or MariaDB through an SSH tunnel for read-only database browsing and CSV export.

CONTROL YOUR DATA
Server passwords and private keys are stored encrypted using Android Keystore-backed protection. Export and import password-encrypted manual backups. DevBoxMobile has no ads and no developer-operated analytics. Automatic Google Drive backup is not included in this release.

Background connection support uses an optional visible foreground notification. Connections may still end if Android or your device stops the app; tmux sessions remain on the server unless ended there.

DevBoxMobile is designed for developers, system administrators and homelab users who want practical remote tools without typing every task as a shell command. Use it only with systems you own or are authorized to manage.
