About this app

A modern SSH client built for developers, sysadmins, and homelab users who actually work from their phones.

Most mobile SSH clients feel stuck in 2014. SSHoo was built to fix that. Fast terminal rendering, modern UX, tmux workflows, SFTP, and optional AI assistance, in a clean, local-first app designed for power users.

Local-first. No ads. No mandatory accounts. No cloud lock-in. Your servers, your keys, your data.

REAL TERMINAL
Modern VT100/ANSI rendering with true color, 256 colors, 15 color themes, mouse tracking, and scrollback up to 50,000 lines. JetBrains Mono, Fira Code, or system monospace. Pinch to zoom. Split panes side-by-side or stacked.

TMUX WORKFLOWS
Every tmux session on your server, surfaced visually. Attach, create, rename, or kill sessions without memorizing tmux keys. Start on your computer, continue on your phone. Sessions survive disconnects.

AI-ASSISTED DEBUGGING
Open a Claude Code or Codex tab next to your shell. Both run on the actual remote with full project context. Not a sandbox, not a wrapper. Stream responses live, get a notification when the agent finishes, and resume conversations later. Switch agents from settings.

SFTP THAT WORKS
Browse, search, and edit files, and transfer them one at a time, free. Pro adds power tools: multi-file transfers, folder upload and download, dual-pane with host-to-host copy and folder sync, and archives. Foreground transfer badge with progress.

PORT FORWARDING
Local, remote, and dynamic (SOCKS) tunnels, all free. Start one with a tap, test a service running on the remote from your phone's browser, and auto-reconnect on flaky networks.

TAILSCALE BUILT IN
Auto-discover machines on your tailnet. Tap to connect. No IPs, no DNS hassle. Requires an API key due to Android restrictions.

ALWAYS-ON
SSH sessions run as foreground services with configurable keep-alive and status notifications, and reconnect across lock screens and app switches.

SMART AUTOCOMPLETE
Suggestions from your command history, custom aliases, file paths, git branches, and 50+ built-in commands.

LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN
Your data stays on-device. AES-256-GCM credential encryption with Android Keystore. Host-key fingerprint verification. Password, SSH key, key+passphrase, or agent auth. Jump-host (bastion) routing. An optional app lock asks for your fingerprint, face, or device PIN each time you open SSHoo.

LOCAL SHELL
Run commands on your Android device, no server needed.

NO ADS. EVER.
The free tier is intentionally fully usable. No fake limits, no connection caps, no throttles. SSHoo Pro adds AI chat with Claude Code & Codex, voice mode, and SFTP power tools: multi-file transfers, host-to-host dual pane, folder sync, and archives. One-time purchase, not a subscription, with a 7-day free trial. Pro is stored on your device, so it keeps working offline and if our server is unreachable. Buy before 1 March 2027 to become a Founding supporter.

EVERYTHING ELSE
- Swipe to favorite or delete hosts
- Import and export hosts and tunnels
- URL detection and haptic special keys
- Screen wake lock for long sessions
