Short app description
Concise summary for quoting.
SSHELL Terminal is a modern SSH terminal app for iPhone and iPad, designed for developers, sysadmins, homelab users, and technical professionals who need reliable server access away from the desk.
Longer app description
SSH access built around real admin work.
SSHELL Terminal gives iPhone and iPad users SSH access through a clean terminal-first interface, with multiple sessions, iPad multi-window workflows and external keyboard-friendly controls. It is built for real-world admin tasks: checking logs, managing infrastructure, restarting services and handling urgent fixes when a laptop is not in reach. SSHELL Terminal is available on the App Store with a free 7-day trial.
Founder story
Built by a solo developer to solve a practical mobile SSH problem.
SSHELL Terminal is the first app from solo developer Simon Stace. It was built from a real-world pain: SSH on mobile often feels awkward when serious work is needed. The goal is to make iPhone and iPad feel like practical admin tools, not just emergency fallback devices.
