About this app

PineSSH — Rooted in Security.

A fast, powerful SSH client built for developers, sysadmins, and tinkerers who need reliable remote access from anywhere. Fork of ConnectBot with a modern UI and the features you've been missing.

▸ CONNECT YOUR WAY
SSH, Mosh, Telnet, and Local Terminal — all in one app. Mosh support means your sessions survive network switches and sleep without dropping. Connect to any server, Raspberry Pi, Docker host, or cloud instance.

▸ SFTP FILE BROWSER
Browse, upload, and download files on your remote servers without leaving the app. Navigate directories, manage permissions, rename, delete — all with a clean, modern interface and transfer progress tracking.

▸ COMMAND SNIPPETS
Save your most-used commands and execute them with a single tap. Organize by category, search instantly, and stop retyping the same long commands. Your snippets are always one swipe away from any terminal session.

▸ SECURITY FIRST
Ed25519, ECDSA, and RSA key management. Post-Quantum Cryptography (ML-KEM) support. Biometric authentication for your SSH keys. Agent forwarding. ProxyJump with chained jump hosts. No tracking, no telemetry, no data collection.

▸ MODERN TERMINAL
Jetpack Compose UI with Material You dynamic colors. Dark theme by default. Customizable terminal fonts (JetBrains Mono, Fira Code, and more — including downloadable fonts). Color scheme editor with presets. Configurable keyboard shortcuts.

▸ ORGANIZE YOUR SERVERS
Group connections into folders like Production, Staging, and Home Lab. Profile system lets you bundle terminal settings and apply them across multiple hosts. Export and import your host configurations as JSON.

▸ MORE FEATURES
- Port forwarding (local and remote)
- Post-login scripts — run commands automatically after connecting
- Home screen widget for quick one-tap connections
- Full IPv6 support
- Hardware keyboard support
- Copy, paste, and URL detection in terminal
- Host key verification with known_hosts



PineSSH is what devs want. If you're tired of abandoned SSH clients, paywalled SFTP, or apps that phone home — this is your terminal.
