Your servers, in your pocket

SharkTTY is a fast, native SSH & Mosh terminal for iPhone and iPad — built for developers and sysadmins who manage servers on the go.

Lock your phone, switch apps, or change networks — reconnect and land right back in your session. Keys are generated on device and never leave your Keychain.

A mobile connection drops. A good terminal doesn't lose your session.

Why SharkTTY?

Everything you need to run a server from a phone — secure by default, resilient on flaky networks.

SSH to any server

Works with any standard sshd — nothing to install on the host. Open an interactive shell to your VPS, NAS, Raspberry Pi, or workstation.

Mosh acceleration

Roam across Wi-Fi and cellular with instant local echo on unstable links. Mosh keeps typing snappy even when latency spikes.

Keep-alive sessions

Lock the device or switch apps, then pick up where you left off. Attach a startup script like tmux new -A -s mobile to reattach on reconnect.

Keys stay on device

Generate Ed25519, ECDSA, or RSA keys on device; import or paste existing keys; export the public key for your admin. Private keys live only in the iOS Keychain.

Host key pinning (TOFU)

Trust-on-first-use pinning records each server's identity and warns you loudly if a host key ever changes.

Built-in file manager

Browse, upload, and download files across iCloud Drive, shared folders, and WebDAV servers — without leaving the app.

Plus: a full keyboard accessory bar (Esc, Ctrl, arrows, Tab), developer fonts and color themes, external keyboard & trackpad support on iPad, and optional iCloud sync of your host and key lists. No account required to reach your own servers.

How It Works

From zero to a live shell in three steps.

1

Add a host

Enter the hostname and user, then pick a password or an on-device key.

2

Connect

Choose SSH or Mosh, and optionally attach a startup script to reattach tmux.

3

Roam freely

Lock, switch apps, or change networks — reconnect lands back in your session.
