Shellport is an iPhone app in development that brings remote server access and management into one place, without requiring an installed agent or an account. Its terminal connects over SSH or Mosh, supports tabs and tmux, and includes shortcuts for mobile typing, hardware keyboards, and per-use approval for agent forwarding. Mosh is designed to keep sessions alive when the phone changes networks. A built-in file browser works over SFTP, FTP, and FTPS, tracks the terminal’s current folder, and supports uploads, permissions, renaming, and editing with a visible diff and backup.
The app also provides server and product-level dashboards, database access, and connection tools. Server checks read over SSH every few seconds and cover CPU, memory, disk, uptime, containers, services, logs, restarts, and network status; thresholds determine when readings turn amber. Stacks combine hosts, services, health checks, vendor status, log-derived request counts, and aggregated resource usage over selectable periods. Database support includes PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Redis, MongoDB, ClickHouse, SQL Server, and additional types, with read-only connections and result export. Security features include iPhone-generated Ed25519 keys, Secure Enclave storage, Face ID before key use, VPN tunnels, jump hosts, and port forwarding. Shellport is not yet on the App Store, and the displayed names, addresses, and metrics are sample data.
