Know the host.
Unknown and changed host keys stop the connection until you review the full fingerprint and make an explicit decision.
Native SSH for Android + iOS
Your remote shell,
built for mobile.
Seance Shell is a focused SSH client powered by Ghostty's terminal engine. Save your hosts, verify who you are connecting to, and work from a terminal designed for touch and hardware keyboards.
● In active development. Not yet available in app stores.
01 Explicit host trust

03 Ghostty VT engine
04 Secrets stay on-device
Designed around reality
A terminal that understands where it runs.
Mobile networks change. Apps get suspended. Screens rotate. Seance Shell treats those constraints as product behavior, not edge cases.
At home on your device.
Platform-native rendering, secure storage, lifecycle handling, and input on Android and iOS. Shared behavior without a lowest-common-denominator UI.
Android
iPhone
iPad
No pretend reconnects.
When a connection is lost, the app says so. A retry starts a new remote shell and never implies that an old process survived.
Core workflow
Everything between you and the prompt.
Saved hosts and identities
Organize remote hosts and import encrypted Ed25519 or RSA keys using platform-secure storage.
A real terminal engine
Unicode, colors, cursor state, scrollback, selection, and mode-aware input through a pinned libghostty-vt revision.
Input for mobile work
Touch selection, configurable extra keys, external keyboards, safe paste, and correct remote PTY resizing.
Bounded remote effects
Remote clipboard requests, notifications, links, and graphics are treated as untrusted input with explicit policy.
Built in the open
Follow every decision.
The product scope, cross-platform contracts, security model, architecture decisions, and current platform parity are public in the repository.
