Run Claude Code
from your phone.
A mobile SSH terminal built for Claude Code and other CLI-based AI coding agents.
Japanese IME, persistent connections, SFTP filer — so spare minutes become real dev time.
Agents from any harness and any model, managed together from your phone.
Note: on the App Store, the iOS version is named “SSH Term X”.

SSH Term in 30 seconds
The Problem
The era of AI coding agents is here.
But mobile SSH still has the same old walls:
Japanese won’t type. Connections drop. Code is unreadable.
The less time you have at your PC, the more painful these get.
SSH Term was built to solve all three.
Why SSH Term
Three reasons to choose it
Three strengths, designed from day one for phone × AI coding.
One of the few SSH apps that types Japanese
Mobile SSH's biggest wall is Japanese input. SSH Term ships a dedicated IME mode so you can send Japanese prompts to Claude Code, write git commit messages, and edit files — all in your native language.

Stays connected, even in the background
AI agent tasks can run for minutes. A foreground service plus wakelock keeps your SSH session alive. On network loss, it reconnects automatically — up to 3 attempts with exponential backoff.
3 retries

Preview AI-generated code, in the app
A built-in SFTP file browser plus syntax highlighting for 40+ languages. Check Claude Code's output without leaving the app. On tablets, a two-pane layout shows file list and preview side by side.

Command Center
Any harness, any model.
Your phone is the command center for your AI agents.
Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, Oh My Pi, Pi. However many hosts, harnesses, and models you mix, SSH Term lets you watch them together and answer them from one app.
See what each agent is waiting for
Each saved host gets a card listing its agents and their state: Working, Waiting for input, or Needs approval. Claude Code on your home PC, Codex on a VPS — see which one is waiting for what, and answer on the spot.
Not locked to a harness or a model
Start any agent that runs in a terminal and give it instructions. Models and providers (API keys, Bedrock, and so on) stay as configured on your host, and conversations stay there instead of going through a third-party service.
Keeps running when you close the app
Agents keep running on the host after you close the app. Approval requests, input waits, and finished turns arrive as push notifications (through ntfy; Slack, Discord, and Telegram also work), and you send the next instruction from the chat view.
* The status list and chat view (beta) support Claude Code, Codex, Oh My Pi, Pi, and Copilot CLI. Any other agent runs in the terminal as usual.
Compatibility
Fits the SSH setup you already use
OpenSSH-compatible. Your existing servers, agents, and shells just work.
How it works
Spare time, turned into dev time — in three steps
STEP 01
Run Claude Code on your PC
Launch Claude Code (or any CLI agent) inside a long-running session — tmux, screen, or a remote VPS.
STEP 02
SSH in from your phone
Open SSH Term, tap a saved connection profile, and you're in. Key generation happens in-app — no PC needed.
STEP 03
Send prompts in spare moments
Type instructions, hand off to the AI, and close the app. The session keeps running in the background.
Get Started
Three things that change the day you download
One-time ¥800, no additional costs — ever. No signup. 30 seconds to start.
Start coding right this moment
Commutes, breaks, after the kids are asleep — dead time turns straight into dev time.
Send Japanese prompts directly
No language toggling. Type prompts in Japanese (or English) and ship them straight to your AI agent.
No ads, no signup, instant use
No account creation, no in-app upsells. Every feature is unlocked the moment you download.

IME Mode
Japanese input that just works on mobile
Most mobile SSH apps mangle Japanese input. SSH Term's dedicated IME mode handles composition properly so you can prompt Claude Code, write commit messages, or edit files in Japanese without friction.
- Native Japanese composition in the terminal
- Smooth Japanese prompting to Claude Code
- Japanese commits and file edits
SFTP Filer
Code preview, all inside the app
An SFTP file browser lets you inspect anything Claude Code generates or edits. Tablets get a two-pane layout; phones get a clean swipe-based browser.
- Syntax highlighting for 40+ languages
- One-tap copy to clipboard
- Bookmarks, sort, show hidden files
Keep-Alive
Reassurance that the connection won't drop
A foreground service plus wakelock keeps your SSH connection alive while the app is backgrounded. On a network drop, auto-reconnect retries up to 3 times with exponential backoff.
- Connection persists in the background
- Auto-reconnect on Wi-Fi handoff
- Sleep prevention to protect sessions

Theme Gallery
Pick your terminal colors from the gallery
The theme gallery shows color themes that SSH Term users made and sent. Open one you like on your phone to add it to SSH Term.
Open it on your phone, add it to the app
Open a theme from the gallery on your phone to add it to SSH Term. You can also open the gallery from “Find Themes in the Gallery” in the app's terminal theme settings.
Share your own theme
Export a theme you made in SSH Term and send it as a pull request to the sshterm-themes repository on GitHub. It shows up in the gallery after a check and a review.

Use Cases
Where it really pays off
The time you can’t spend at the PC is often the time you most wanted to be coding.
Commuting engineer
30s · Web dev
"45 minutes on the train became 45 minutes of review work"
No room to open a laptop on a packed train. Send a Japanese instruction like "address the review comments" to Claude Code at home. By the time you arrive, the PR is updated.
Parent on leave
30s · Backend dev
"15 minutes after bedtime keeps a side project alive"
Can't open a laptop while holding the baby. With SSH Term, dispatch instructions one-handed after bedtime; by the time the baby is asleep, the work is done.
Working from a café
40s · Freelancer
"Safe progress checks where a laptop is too exposed"
In open cafés and coworking spots, a laptop screen feels too public. SSH in from your phone and just check the AI's progress and the diff.
Infra on-call
30s · SRE
"First response on incidents — 10 minutes earlier"
When the pager hits, opening two tabs side-by-side — one for production logs, one for a debug shell — is what saves time. In-app key generation also speeds up emergency setup.
*Illustrative scenarios. Actual results vary by environment, connection, and host.
FAQ
Frequently asked
How much does it cost? Any ads or extra charges?
A one-time purchase of ¥800 (tax included) — no additional costs, ever. One payment unlocks all features with no limits. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes — iPhone, iPad, Android phones, and Android tablets are all supported. No account is required, so changing devices is just a re-download.
Can I try it without an SSH server?
You can download the app and explore theme/font settings and SSH key generation without a connection. Actual terminal use requires SSH access to a VPS or your home PC.
Will the connection really stay alive in the background?
On Android, a foreground service and wakelock keep the connection alive. On network drops, it auto-reconnects up to 3 times with exponential backoff. Forced OS termination or extended no-signal periods may still disconnect.
Are my credentials stored safely?
Connection details and keys are stored in OS-level secure storage (iOS Keychain / Hive encrypted boxes). The app itself can also be locked with biometric or PIN authentication. No usage data is sent externally.
Can I use it for non-Claude-Code workflows?
Absolutely. The agent status list and chat view support Claude Code, Codex, Oh My Pi, Pi, and Copilot CLI. Any other CLI runs in the terminal as usual, and it works as a general SSH client for server management, log inspection, and remote development.
