Varkuna is an SSH client for Android designed for managing servers from your phone.
Use Varkuna to save SSH connections, link local credentials, start one-off sessions with Quick Connect, and work in a terminal built for mobile input.
Key features:
- Save SSH server profiles with host, port, username, tags, and favorite status
- Store password or private key credentials locally on your device

Privacy and storage:
Varkuna is designed to work locally. Saved connections, snippets, preferences, and credential metadata stay on your device. Sensitive credential values are stored locally using Android security APIs. Biometric authentication is handled by Android and Varkuna does not collect biometric data. Varkuna does not require a Varkuna account.
Plans:
- Free: up to 5 saved connections and 5 saved credentials. Quick Connect, terminal sessions, and command snippets are included.
- PRO Lifetime: optional one-time purchase that removes saved connection and saved credential limits on this device and unlocks biometric app lock.
Varkuna is intended for users who already have permission to access the SSH servers they connect to.
