Echo SSH and mosh client for iOS

What hackers pick instead

• MoshMosh keeps a remote terminal session alive through sleep, roaming and dropped connections, with less lag on slow links. Main caveats: no scrollback and no tunneling or X11 forwarding.61recommend
• SSHLets you log in to and run commands on remote machines, and tunnel other traffic over an encrypted connection. Critics agree it is slow for bulk data transfer and chatty on each keystroke.57recommend
• TermiusMobile SSH client for reaching servers and running tmux or Claude Code from a phone; local use is free. Common caveat: clumsy scrolling, typing and TUI interaction.33recommend
• Moshi SSH and Mosh terminal for iOSRecommended for working out of the box, tmux session handling and shortcuts on iOS. Critics say it gets clunky and isn't worth it over Termux.16recommend
• JuiceSSHAndroid SSH client people praise for reliable everyday use, quick port forwarding and an SSH-focused interface. Critics say paid pro features were removed without refunds and the app has gone unsupported.12recommend
