Mobile SSH is an SSH client for your own servers. It gives you a real terminal, several sessions at once, the file transfer and the session manager you already use on the desktop, and it holds the connection while the screen is off.

TERMINAL
• VT100 / xterm-256color emulation, 5000 lines of scrollback by default and configurable.
• Up to 8 sessions on screen at once in a grid. Double-tap a pane to fill the screen, back to return.
• Search the scrollback, select and copy text, follow links, bracketed paste, mouse reporting.
• A key bar you arrange yourself: ESC, TAB, CTRL, ALT, arrows, Home/End, PgUp/PgDn and the rest.
• Choose the font (system monospace, JetBrains Mono, Source Code Pro) and the colours (Solarized dark and light, Gruvbox, Dracula, Nord, or follow the app theme).
• Terminal graphics over the Kitty protocol, including animations and virtual placements, so an image viewer or a full-screen program draws pictures instead of boxes.
• Prompt navigation for shells that emit OSC 133 marks, and a notification when a long command finishes.

TMUX, ZELLIJ AND HERDR
• Each has a page listing the servers, sessions, workspaces and tabs it can see, most recently used first.
• Attach from the list. The app reuses the SSH connection you already have, and opens one of its own when the pane is busy.
• One toolbar button opens whichever multiplexer you use on that server; long-press it for the others.

FILES
• Dual-pane SFTP browser: the phone on one side, the server on the other.
• Upload, download, rename, delete, create directories, edit a remote file in place.
• Permissions in rwx and octal, owner and group. Sort order is remembered per host, per pane.
• Share a file into Mobile SSH from Photos, Files or anywhere else and it is uploaded, with its remote path typed at the prompt.

REMOTE DESKTOP
• Open a graphical desktop from the terminal toolbar: one started for you on the server, or the screen the server is already showing. Linux and macOS.
• It travels inside the SSH connection, so nothing new is opened on your network.
• Keyboard, taps, drags and the clipboard go back the other way, and you can change the desktop's resolution from the viewer.

KEYS AND CONNECTIONS
• Generate an Ed25519, ECDSA (P-256/384/521) or RSA 3072/4096 key on the phone, or import one from a file or the clipboard.
• Saved servers and credentials, with several addresses per server for a machine you reach differently from home, the office and a VPN. The address that worked last is tried first.
• Local port forwarding.
• Auto-reconnect with backoff when the network changes, and a foreground service with wake and Wi-Fi locks so sessions survive the screen going off.
• The pane header says when what you typed has not reached the server, how long it has been silent, and how fast bytes are moving.
• An experimental Teleport transport for clusters behind a Teleport proxy.

AGENTS
• When a coding agent on the server stops and waits for you, it can raise a notification, vibrate, or play a tone through headphones only.
• An inbox lists every agent waiting on you, across every connection, and approvals can be answered with one tap.

BACKUP AND PLUGINS
• Export servers and credentials — all of them, or the ones you pick — to a file, encrypted with a passphrase if you give one. Import merges into what you have, or replaces it.
• Plugins from a public catalog run in the app and talk to your session.

Light and dark themes that follow the Android setting. A secure-screen option that blocks screenshots and screen recording. Anonymous usage analytics are on by default and can be turned off in Settings.
