SSH that flows.
A free, native SSH client for iPhone and iPad — wrapped in Liquid Glass, tuned for the 2026 sysadmin. Your hosts, your keys, your terminal. All on device.

Everything an SSH client should be. Nothing it shouldn't.
SSHWave is a real iOS app — not a webview, not a wrapper. Five things matter, and we got them right.
Native iOS
SwiftUI, Swift 6 strict concurrency, iOS 26+. Smooth on iPhone, glorious on iPad.
Liquid Glass
Stacked translucent surfaces, depth from light not shadow, an animated wave that lives behind everything.
Secure by default
Face ID gated. Keys in the Secure Enclave when possible. Known-hosts TOFU with mismatch warnings. Nothing leaves the device.
Open architecture
Citadel under the hood. Protocol-first services. The terminal you trust, on the platform you carry.
A keyboard you can use
Esc, Ctrl, Tab, arrows, pipes, Fn keys, snippet shortcuts, paste, history. Sticky modifiers. Long-press lock.
Designed for the work.
Three screens, one philosophy: get out of your way.
