About this app

KittyShell is a private, focused SSH client for Android.

Connect to the servers you manage, work in an interactive terminal, and keep your SSH workflow close at hand. Save server profiles, manage SSH keys, and verify host keys so you can recognise unexpected server identity changes.

KittyShell includes:

- Interactive SSH terminal sessions
- Saved server profiles and Quick Connect
- SSH key management and password authentication
- Host-key verification and known-host management
- Saved commands for frequently used workflows
- A public command library with command references and step-by-step how-tos
- Terminal shortcuts and appearance preferences

Privacy is central to KittyShell. SSH connections go directly between your device and the server you configure; KittyShell does not proxy your terminal sessions. The app does not use analytics or telemetry. The optional public command library only receives the public category or search terms you choose; it does not receive your servers, keys, credentials, terminal content, or saved commands.

Use KittyShell for homelabs, development environments, remote administration, and the systems you are responsible for. Review commands before running them, especially commands that modify or delete data.
