Every SSH key has fingerprint art like this. This one was just drawn from random bytes in your browser, the way ssh-keygen does it.

A private key that can’t be copied. Not even by us.

Secure Enclave by default

New keys are generated inside your iPhone’s Secure Enclave, and each use can require Face ID.

Deploy in one tap

Send a public key to a server, and mintSSH confirms it works with a test login.

Bring your own keys

Import OpenSSH, PKCS#8 and PEM keys, including passphrase-protected exports from 1Password. Or create Ed25519 and P-256 keys you can export.

Passwords from your password manager

Server passwords fill through iOS Password AutoFill from 1Password, Bitwarden, iCloud Keychain or any other provider.

What iOS doesn’t allow Apps can’t talk to a password manager’s SSH agent on iOS, so mintSSH can’t sign with a key that stays inside 1Password or Bitwarden. Import the key, or generate a Secure Enclave key and deploy it to your servers.

A real terminal, tuned for iPhone.

Keys a phone doesn’t have

The extra-keys bar has sticky Ctrl, Alt and Fn. Swipe on the terminal for arrow keys.

Good with a hardware keyboard

Cmd shortcuts for tabs, copy, paste and font size. Caps Lock as Esc or Ctrl, Option as Meta, and the Kitty keyboard protocol.

Pick up where you left off

Sessions reconnect when you come back to the app. Turn on tmux attach and your work survives a dropped connection.

Snippets

Save commands with {{variables}}, then run or insert them from the row above the keyboard.

Strict about host keys

See the SHA256 fingerprint on first connection and a clear warning if it changes. Import and export known_hosts.

Tunnels and jump hosts

Reach private servers through a jump host, with local, remote and SOCKS port forwarding.

Every server, one tap away.

Quick connect

Type user@host into search and go. Save it as a host if you’ll be back.

Icons you’ll recognise

Proxmox, TrueNAS, Pi-hole and more than 150 other services, suggested automatically.

Shortcuts actions

Connect to a host or run a snippet from Shortcuts and Siri. Requires Pro.

Encrypted backups

Export hosts, snippets, known hosts and software keys to a passphrase-protected file, and restore it any time.

Nothing phones home.

There’s no mintSSH server and no analytics. This is the full list of what the app connects to.
