SSH Client for Android

When a server needs attention at 2am and you're not near a laptop, ShellPilot is what you reach for. It's a full-featured SSH client for Android that gives you a real terminal session with your remote servers — not a limited web UI or a toy app, but a genuine SSH connection with PTY support.

The terminal emulator handles the things that matter: ANSI color codes, so tools like htop, vim, and ncdu display correctly; proper key sequences so you can use Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Z, and arrow keys; and a scrollback buffer so you don't lose output that scrolls past the screen.

Managing multiple servers is straightforward. Add each host once with its IP, port, username, and authentication method (password or private key), and it's available in one tap. You can keep connections to staging, production, and personal servers organized and switch between them quickly.

Beyond basic SSH, ShellPilot understands developer workflows. Connect to a server, run docker ps, tail your application logs, check nginx status, run a database query — the app gets out of your way and lets you work. The keyboard includes keys developers actually use: Tab, Escape, pipe, slash, and function keys.
