ShellPilot is an SSH client, SFTP file manager, and server manager for Android — actively maintained and built for Android 15 and 16. Connect to remote servers, VPS, Raspberry Pi, and Docker hosts, run commands and batch jobs across machines, transfer files over SFTP, and check server health — all from your phone. Pro is a one-time unlock, not a subscription.

Looking for a maintained SSH client that still works on modern Android, without a monthly subscription? ShellPilot keeps your connections and keys on your device, runs on Android 15 and 16, and unlocks Pro once — for life.

🔌 SSH CLIENT FOR ANDROID
Connect to any VPS, Linux server, or Raspberry Pi with a password or an SSH key. Ed25519, RSA-2048, and RSA-4096 keys are supported. Save your connection profiles and switch between them with a swipe. Familiar to PuTTY users moving to mobile.

🖥 TERMINAL EMULATOR + LOCAL SHELL
A full terminal emulator with command history, search, pinch-to-zoom, and an extra-keys bar (Ctrl, Esc, Tab, arrows). Open a remote session over SSH, or use the on-device local shell for quick command-line tasks — it works offline.

📁 SFTP FILE MANAGER
Browse and download remote files over SFTP for free. Upload, rename, create, and delete with Pro. Favorite paths, recent-directory tracking, and a side-by-side local and remote view.

🚀 BATCH EXECUTION (SERVER MANAGEMENT)
Run the same command across multiple servers at once — update VPS instances, restart services, check health — with no manual repetition.

📊 SERVER HEALTH MONITORING
Check CPU, load, memory, disk usage, and Docker container status over SSH — agentless, with nothing to install on the server.

🔀 PORT FORWARDING & SSH TUNNELS
Set up local and remote port forwarding to reach services behind your server.

🔧 50+ COMMAND SNIPPETS
Save and reuse commands with variable substitution — Docker, Nginx, system monitor, Raspberry Pi, database, and security packs are built in.

🐳 DOCKER & RASPBERRY PI READY
Pre-built snippets for Docker operations, Raspberry Pi maintenance, Nginx configs, and system administration. Copy, paste, execute.

🌐 NETWORK TOOLS
Ping, port checker, and port scanner to diagnose connectivity instantly.

🔒 SECURITY
Biometric lock, encrypted on-device key storage, and known-host verification. Back up and restore your connections and snippets. Zero tracking.

✅ ACTIVELY MAINTAINED
Built and tested for Android 15 and 16. Connections, key authentication, and sessions keep working as Android moves forward — no abandoned-app surprises.

💰 ONE-TIME PRICE
Free: 3 connections, 2 SSH keys, 8 snippets, ads.
Pro: unlimited connections, keys, and snippets, full SFTP file management, batch execution, all terminal themes and fonts, and removes ads. A one-time purchase — no subscription.

An SSH client, SFTP manager, and VPS console for developers, sysadmins, DevOps engineers, Raspberry Pi enthusiasts, and anyone managing remote Linux servers from their phone.
