ShellDrop welcome screen showing live session and saved connections

Built for developers running AI coding agents on headless servers. We needed to check on Claude Code and Codex sessions from our phones. Every SSH app we tried either charged a subscription or got the basics wrong. Keyboards that covered the terminal. tmux scrolling that didn't work. Sessions that died when you switched apps. ShellDrop is the terminal we built because nothing else got the basics right.

What it does

The basics, done properly.

tmux

tmux scroll

Single finger swipe through tmux history. No copy-mode, no arrow keys. Just swipe.

keyboard

Keyboard that moves

One tap to dismiss, one tap back. Terminal resizes around it so you can always see what you're typing.

sessions

Background sessions

Switch apps, come back, still connected. Auto-reconnect if the connection drops.

tabs

Multiple connections

Open servers in tabs. Green and red dots show what's alive. Switch without disconnecting.

keys

Terminal keys

Esc, Ctrl-C, arrows, Tab, tmux detach. Scrollable toolbar, always visible.

sync

iCloud sync

Saved connections sync across your devices via iCloud. Set up once.

speed

Native Swift SSH

No web views, no Electron. Direct connection with terminal rendering that keeps up.

security

Passwords in Keychain

Credentials stored in iOS Keychain. No third-party servers, no vendor accounts.

rotate

Landscape works

Rotate for a wider terminal. Connection stays alive, layout adapts.

Works with

Your agents are running.
Manage them from your pocket.

Running Claude Code, Codex, or any AI coding agent on a headless Mac Mini or VPS? SSH in, attach to tmux, scroll through agent output, intervene when you need to. Also works with any server you can SSH into.

Claude Code Codex Aider Cline Mac Mini tmux Raspberry Pi VPS

iPhone

Full terminal in your pocket. Landscape for a wider view. Scroll, paste, detach on the go.

iPad

More room to work. Same app, same connections, synced via iCloud.

Need Mosh?

SSH drops when your network changes.
Mosh doesn't.

Switch WiFi, hop to cellular, reopen an hour later. Your terminal is where you left it.

MoshDrop is the companion app. Native C++ mosh client, wire-compatible with standard mosh-server. Same approach. Also free.
