About

GateShell is a premium SSH and SFTP client with a simple promise: your servers, your keys, your device β€” nothing in between. No backend servers, no relays, no tracking, no data collection. PRIVATE BY DESIGN β€’ Zero backend β€” GateShell runs entirely on-device. There's no server to breach because there is no server. β€’ Credentials are stored in the hardware-encrypted Apple Keychain, never in plaintext. β€’ Connections go directly from your device to your server. No middleman. β€’ No analytics, no telemetry. We don't know who you are or what you connect to. SECURE CONNECTIONS β€’ Verified host keys β€” GateShell pins each server's identity and warns you the instant a host key changes, protecting you from man-in-the-middle attacks. β€’ On-device SSH key manager β€” generate ed25519, P-256, or RSA keys, name them, and assign them per server. Private keys never leave the Keychain. β€’ Face ID / Touch ID lock to keep your servers safe even if your device isn't. A REAL TERMINAL β€’ Full XTerm-256 color terminal with fullscreen mode. β€’ Gesture controls β€” swipe, pinch to zoom, long-press to paste. β€’ 12+ themes, command snippets, and history-aware autocomplete. FILES & CODE β€’ Browse, upload, and download over SFTP with progress tracking. β€’ Built-in editor with syntax highlighting for 13+ languages β€” open, edit, and save remote files in place. β€’ Git on the go β€” check status, stage, and commit on any connected server. POWER TOOLS β€’ Local, remote, and dynamic SOCKS port forwarding. β€’ Session logging with search and export. β€’ On-device privacy guardrails: automatic secret/password redaction in logs, and a warning before dangerous commands run β€” all computed locally. SYNC EVERYWHERE β€’ iCloud keeps your servers in sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, encrypted end-to-end. GateShell is free to start. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited servers, SFTP, port forwarding, snippets, all themes, and more. Terms of Use (EULA): https://gateshell.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://gateshell.com/privacy
