About this app
Server acting up while you are away from your desk? Type or say "check disk usage and find the big logs", and PromptShell turns it into shell commands, runs them on your server over SSH and sums up the result.
No more pecking long commands, pipes and flags on a phone keyboard. You describe the job in plain English or Korean, review what will run, and read a short answer instead of a wall of output.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Add your server once, with a password or an SSH key (ED25519, ECDSA, RSA, passphrase-protected keys too).
2. Ask in your own words, by typing or with your phone's voice input.
3. The AI proposes the commands. Read-only checks run right away, anything that changes the server waits for your approval, and you get a summary next to the raw output.
No server yet? Try the built-in demo server first. It runs inside the app and never touches a real machine.
YOU STAY IN CONTROL
Commands that can delete data or stop services, such as rm -rf, DROP or systemctl stop, never run on their own. They appear on a red approval card that shows exactly what will run, and nothing happens until you tap approve.
WHEN SOMETHING FAILS
If a command fails, PromptShell reads the error, explains the likely cause and suggests a fix for you to review and run.
A TERMINAL WHEN YOU NEED ONE
- PTY terminal with ANSI colors and full-screen apps such as htop
- Host key fingerprint check on first connect, with a warning if it ever changes
- Extra key bar: ESC, TAB, CTRL, ALT, arrow keys, |, ~, /, - and _, plus paste, copy and text size
- Switch between the terminal view and the chat view of the same session at any time
- Smart chips that notice where you are: inside a git repo, a Docker project or an npm project you get the commands that fit that folder
- Dark mode
NO EXTRA AI BILL
PromptShell does not resell AI. Pick one of two ways:
- Bring your own API key, and requests go straight from your phone to that AI provider at your provider's price.
- Or use an AI command line tool that is already installed and signed in on your own server. PromptShell calls it over SSH, so you pay nothing extra.
Works with your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key, or the Claude Code / Codex CLI already signed in on your server.
PRIVACY
- No account and no sign-up
- Passwords, SSH keys and API keys are encrypted with Android Keystore and stored only on your device
- AI requests go directly to the AI option you choose. There is no PromptShell server in between
- Anonymous usage statistics (you can turn them off in Settings) and crash reports help us fix bugs. They never include your prompts, commands, output or server addresses
- No ads
FREE
- 1 server
- Unlimited AI requests through your own key or your server's CLI

WHO IT IS FOR
Developers, self-hosters, homelab and Raspberry Pi owners, and on-call engineers who need to check a Linux server from a phone without fighting the keyboard.
