Free SSH client for iPhone & iPad
Serious SSH,
no strings.
A native terminal that talks straight to your servers. There is no signup screen — we never made one.
The features other SSH apps hold back are free here. Pro adds iCloud sync and mosh. Yearly, or pay once and own it.
The free tier
is the whole tool.
Tunnels, all three kinds
Local, remote and a full SOCKS5 proxy — the -L, -R and -D you actually use, set up per host with a switch.
Jump hosts
Pick a bastion and connect through it. Your session rides an encrypted channel the whole way.
Agent forwarding
Your phone is the agent. Hop server to server without a private key ever leaving your Keychain.
Keys done right
Generate Ed25519 keys on-device, or import your own — passphrase-protected ones included.
Snippets & autocomplete
Your history completes as you type. Saved snippets run your routine commands in one tap.
Sessions that survive
Auto-reconnect when you come back, and Live Activities that show session health on your Lock Screen.
Face ID lock
Leave the app, it locks. Your hosts, keys and open terminals stay behind your face.
Made for iPad too
Hardware keyboard shortcuts, pinch-to-zoom type, and tabs for every session you have open.
Mosh, built in.
Your shell outlives the signal.
Switch from Wi-Fi to 5G. Lock your phone. Come back later. With mosh on, your session is exactly where you left it. No reconnecting, no logging in again.
Turn it on per host. Your server needs mosh and UDP ports 60000–61000 open; on Debian or Ubuntu that’s sudo apt install mosh. No mosh-server yet? Saffron tells you what to install, and one switch puts that host back on plain SSH.
Included with Saffron Pro.
Pricing
Pay for sync and mosh. Or don't.
Every subscription starts with a 7-day free trial.

We couldn’t read your keys
if we wanted to.
- No account, ever. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to breach, nothing to sell.
- Sync is your iCloud, not our cloud. Keys and hosts travel through iCloud Keychain, end-to-end encrypted by Apple. We run no servers for your data.
- Straight to your server. No relay, no gateway, no middle-man. Your keystrokes are between you and your machine.
- Leave anytime. Your configuration exports to plain JSON. No lock-in, because there is nothing to lock.
No account. Ever.
Install it, add a host, you’re in. The way an SSH client should work.
