Ratings and Reviews
SEPULCHRAVE
Very good companion app for the IOS
One app
I used multiple SSH apps for different but I think I can comfortable move all to this app.
Worth It
I don’t normally write reviews, but ShellFish is soo good that I need to tell others about it. I’ve used other terminal/ssh apps, and nothing compares to the usability of this app. The built-in tmux handling is nice as if I am on a flaky internet connection then I can connect back to the same session and not have to worry about my commands terminating. The port forwarding is great as I’ve been able to use it to connect to services running on a server only available to localhost and use port forwarding to access it. The files app integration is wonderful because I can browse my server files through files app and transfer files that way. Anders is also an indie dev so I feel even better paying the full price for lifetime access (which is also waaay lower than some other apps).
