Full description

PocketShell gives you secure terminal access to machines you own or are authorized to operate, directly from your iPhone or iPad. Pair your Mac, Linux server, Raspberry Pi, NAS, or VPS with the PocketShell host agent, then open terminal sessions from your phone with biometric protection. Included free: - Pair and manage up to 2 hosts - Run real terminal sessions with a mobile-friendly keyboard - Monitor CPU, memory, disk, network, and process activity - Browse, preview, upload, and download files - Resume sessions across devices - Connect directly to your host when the network allows it PocketShell is free for up to 2 hosts. PocketShell Pro, available as a separate in-app purchase or auto-renewable subscription, unlocks up to 10 hosts, higher file transfer limits, direct host-to-host file transfers, 30 days of historical stats, and multi-device support. PocketShell separates control from data. The backend handles sign-in, pairing, and connection setup, while terminal I/O, file transfers, stats, and agent chat are sent between your mobile device and your host. Your terminal contents are not stored by PocketShell. Security features include device-bound host pairing, trusted-device approval, biometric unlock, encrypted signaling, and session auditing. PocketShell is built for developers, on-call engineers, homelab users, and self-hosters who need safe access to their own machines from anywhere.
