SlipShell: SSH & Mosh Live

Reach the machines you run from your phone, and keep working when the network changes under you. SlipShell is an SSH and Mosh client for Android, made for people who look after their own servers, home labs, and dev boxes. Connect, fix the thing, move the file, and get back to your day. Stay connected Mosh keeps a session going through Wi-Fi to cellular handoffs, dead spots, and a phone that went to sleep. Choose SSH or Mosh for each server. If Mosh can't start, SlipShell can carry on over plain SSH and tells you why. Open sessions stay connected in the background while the screen is off, for as long as Android allows. On Android 11 and newer, the sessions you had open come back when you reopen SlipShell after your phone restarts. Every machine, organized Save servers with groups, color tags, and search, and drag them into the order you want. Import hosts from your OpenSSH config. Find machines on your local Wi-Fi without typing addresses. Keep up to five sessions open at once and switch between them.

Transfers carry on in the background with progress in a notification, and an interrupted one keeps its progress so you can resume it. Keys and trust Generate or import SSH keys. Passwords and keys are encrypted on the device with a key held by the Android Keystore. A new host shows its key fingerprint before you trust it. Lock the app behind your device's biometrics.

Operator Pro adds remote and dynamic SOCKS forwards, and jump hosts for machines you can only reach through another one. Repeat work, saved Command snippets with fill-in parameters, groups of your own, and ready-made snippet packs that work offline. When an update fixes a bundled snippet, you see what changed and can undo it. A snippet you edited yourself never changes without asking. Themes you can read Bundled themes including Dracula, Nord, Solarized, Catppuccin, and Gruvbox, with their main text colors checked for contrast so the terminal stays readable. Anyone can design a theme in Theme Studio and preview it on a real terminal. It works out every color so text clears a contrast floor, and turns down a color it can't make readable, with the reason. Operator Pro A one-time purchase, no subscription. It unlocks: • More than five sessions at once • Remote and dynamic SOCKS port forwards • Tailscale device lookup, with your own Tailscale API key • Jump host chains • A terminal theme for each server • Theme Studio: save, export, and import your themes • Session notes: plain .txt and .md files in a folder you choose, open beside a live session. Type any line into the terminal without running it, so you read it before you press Enter. No account, no ads No sign-up, no ads, no analytics. Your servers, keys, and settings live on your phone, not on a SlipShell server, and saved passwords and keys are left out of Android backup.
