About this app

Open the app, type your server's address, connect. ShellPilot is an SSH client, SFTP file manager and server manager for Android that needs no account and no sign-up. Your connections and keys stay on your phone.

Connect to a VPS, Linux server, Raspberry Pi or Docker host, run commands, move files over SFTP and check server health from one app. Pro can be unlocked once, for life. No subscription is required.

🔌 SSH CLIENT, NO ACCOUNT
Connect with a password or an SSH key (Ed25519, RSA-2048, RSA-4096). Save connection profiles and swipe between open sessions. Sessions stay connected while you switch to another app to copy a password or a command. Familiar if you are coming from PuTTY.

🖥 A TERMINAL THAT WORKS ON A PHONE
Enter, Esc, Tab, Ctrl and arrow keys sit right above the keyboard. Password prompts (sudo, su, key passphrases) switch to a hidden field automatically. Command history, search, pinch-to-zoom, and an on-device local shell that works offline.

📁 SFTP FILE MANAGER
Browse and download remote files over SFTP for free. Upload with live progress, rename, create and delete with Pro. Favorite paths and recent folders.

🚀 RUN ONE COMMAND ON MANY SERVERS
Update packages, restart services or check status across several servers at once.

📊 SERVER HEALTH
CPU, load, memory, disk and Docker container status over SSH. Nothing to install on the server.

🔀 PORT FORWARDING & SSH TUNNELS
Local and remote port forwarding to reach services behind your server.

🔧 50+ READY-MADE COMMANDS
Docker, Nginx, Raspberry Pi, system monitoring, databases and security snippets, with variables you fill in.

🌐 NETWORK TOOLS
Ping, port checker and port scanner to see why a server is not answering.

🔒 YOUR KEYS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE
Encrypted on-device key storage, biometric lock and known-host verification. Back up and restore your connections and snippets.

✅ ACTIVELY MAINTAINED
Built and tested for Android 15 and 16.
