PocketCmd: SSH Client & SFTP

PocketCmd is an SSH client and server console for people who run servers. SSH, Mosh, Eternal Terminal and Telnet sessions, an SFTP file manager, remote workspaces with a code editor, live dashboards and an encrypted vault, in one native app. No account, no cloud relay, no ads.

A REAL TERMINAL

• Our own terminal renderer, written in C: libvterm parsing, 24-bit color, 60 fps, no web view

• SSH on native libssh2 and OpenSSL: every key format, two-factor logins, agent forwarding

• Mosh and Eternal Terminal: sessions survive network changes, sleep and even an app restart

• Telnet for legacy gear, with a warning before anything is sent unencrypted

• A key toolbar with the keys your phone hides, plus chords, macros and hardware keyboards

SESSIONS THAT STAY ALIVE

• Every session keeps running while you move around the app

• tmux auto-attach, with every pane a tap or a swipe away

• Split screen and multi-pane layouts (Pro)

FILES AND WORKSPACES

• A full SFTP file manager with permissions, symlinks, search and bookmarks

• Transfers that resume after a dropped connection, verified with SHA-256

• Open a server folder as a workspace: file tree, tabbed code editor, quick-open and search that runs on the server

• Your servers in the Android file picker; share files into PocketCmd from any app

MONITORING WITHOUT AN AGENT

• Live dashboards over the SSH connection you already have, with nothing to install on the server

• Threshold alerts pushed to your phone or tablet by your own self-hosted server (Pro)

SECURITY THAT IS NOT OPTIONAL

• An app password is always required, stretched with Argon2id; your fingerprint or face can stand in for typing it

• Your vault key is sealed with a hardware-backed key (StrongBox or TEE)

• Host keys are pinned on first connect and checked every time after

• An encrypted vault for passwords, key passphrases, API tokens and notes

• Generate SSH keys on the device, or import your SSH config by QR code

ALSO IN THE BOX

• Port forwarding: local, remote and SOCKS5

• Snippets, command templates and runbooks

• A web preview

• Home screen shortcuts straight to a server, workspace or dashboard

• Encrypted backup and restore

• A desktop layout with a sidebar, session tabs and full keyboard support on tablets and Chromebooks

OPTIONAL: YOUR OWN SERVER

PocketCmd works with any SSH server as it is. Pair the optional companion server, a single open-source Go binary you host yourself, for zero-knowledge sync between your devices, teams with shared vaults, and alerts while the app is closed (Pro). Your data is encrypted on the device before it leaves.

FREE AND PRO

Free: one saved server, one group, one dashboard and one workspace, with all four protocols, SFTP, tmux, port forwarding, the vault and every security feature. No account, no time limit.

Pro: unlimited servers, groups, dashboards and workspaces, split screen, multi-hop SSH through jump hosts, every theme with the editors and custom fonts, protocol switching mid-session, sync, alerts and teams.

PRIVACY

Your device connects directly to your servers. No PocketCmd account, no relay in between, no analytics, no ads.
