Description

Built for developers running AI coding agents on headless servers. SSH in from your phone, scroll through tmux output with one finger, switch between sessions in tabs. ShellDrop is the terminal we built because nothing else got the basics right. It started because we needed to check on Claude Code and Codex sessions running on a headless Mac Mini. 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. What it does: - SSH connections with a native Swift stack. No web views. - Tmux scrolling with a single finger swipe. No copy-mode workarounds. - Magic Keyboard trackpad scrolling on iPad. Full tmux mouse mode support. - Tap URLs in the terminal to open them in Safari. Links are automatically detected. - Keyboard that dismisses and reappears with one tap. Terminal resizes around it. - Background persistence. Sessions stay alive when you switch apps. - Auto-reconnect with retries if a connection drops. - Multiple connections in tabs with live status indicators. - Terminal key toolbar. Esc, Ctrl-C, arrows, Tab, zoom, paste, tmux detach. - iCloud sync. Saved connections available on all your devices. - Landscape mode that doesn't drop your session. - Passwords stored in iOS Keychain. No third-party servers.
