Conduit: SSH, Mosh & SFTP
Conduit: SSH, Mosh & SFTP has 2 ratings, averaging 5.0 stars, #981 of 1,743 in Developer Tools.
Description
Conduit is a local-first SSH, Mosh, and SFTP client for iPhone.
It is built for people who need to reach real machines from a phone without creating an account, syncing credentials through a service, or paying a subscription just to open a shell.
Use Conduit to connect to your own servers, workstations, homelab machines, VPS instances, and development environments from a mobile terminal.
Features:
• SSH terminal sessions
• Password, private key, and hardware security key (FIDO2) authentication
• Hardware security key auth over NFC, tested with YubiKey
• SSH agent forwarding to reach further hosts from a machine you connect to
• Per-host tmux integration with auto attach/create, start directories, prefix key selection, action shortcuts, and scrollback mode.
• Experimental Mosh roaming for unreliable mobile networks
• SFTP file browsing and export
• Saved machine profiles with tags and search
• Local credential and trusted host key storage
• Trusted host key prompts and key management
• Optional app lock with device authentication
• Tabbed terminal workspace
• Mobile-friendly modifier, navigation, and function keys
• Fullscreen terminal mode
• Built-in terminal themes
With SSH agent forwarding, a host you connect to can use your key to authenticate onward to other machines, without copying private keys to the server. Forwarded hardware keys stay protected: every onward signature still requires your PIN and a physical tap.
Conduit does not require a Conduit account and does not use a Conduit sync service. Saved connection profiles, credentials, and trusted host keys are stored on your device using platform secure storage.
Conduit is free and open-source software licensed under the Apache License 2.0. Source code is available at github.com/gwitko/Conduit.
Mosh requires mosh-server on the remote host and reachable UDP ports. Predictive echo is marked as experimental.
