Monitor, connect, and run your servers.
Live monitoring, a real terminal, and Docker control on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Nothing to install on your server.
See everything. Install nothing.
SwiftServer reads live metrics over your existing SSH connection with plain, read-only commands. No agent, no daemon, no leftovers. These are the cards on every server's status page; open one to look closer.
A real terminal, everywhere you are.
The same full shell on iPhone, iPad, and Mac: instant echo, a key row built for touch, snippets and live status beside the session, and port forwarding one tap from the output.
A real shell, tuned for touch
A keyboard toolbar puts Esc, Tab, Ctrl, and arrows under your thumb on iPhone and iPad, and hardware keyboards work end to end on every platform.
Status beside the shell
The inspector keeps live CPU, load, processes, and memory next to your session, with your snippet library one tab away.
Forward ports from output
When output mentions a local address, SwiftServer offers to forward the port and open it right on your device.
Snippets at the prompt
Save a command once, then run it in any session, or across a whole group of machines at the same time.
518 themes, your fonts
Independent light and dark terminal themes, bundled monospace fonts or your own, cursor and scrollbar included.
Containers, first-class.
The whole Docker panel rides your SSH connection: containers, Compose projects, images, volumes, networks, and a live event stream.
Engine API over SSH
SwiftServer opens a channel straight to the daemon socket. No agent, no exposed ports, no CLI text scraping.
Live by default
Container stats sample every few seconds and daemon events push in about a second, so state changes show up as they happen.
Actions that confirm
Start, stop, restart, pause, kill, remove. Every action is verified against a fresh snapshot before SwiftServer calls it done.
Runs where Docker runs
Engine API 1.24 and newer, rootless daemons, and macOS hosts running OrbStack, Colima, or Docker Desktop.
Reach anything, from anywhere.
The networking toolbox rides the same engine as the terminal: tunnels, bastion routes, proxies, and Mosh, saved as rules and ready on every device.
Port Forwarding
Local, remote, and dynamic SOCKS forwards saved as rules. Start them in a tap, auto-start with the app, and open the endpoint in a built-in browser.
Jump Hosts
Reach machines behind bastions through one hop or several. Every hop authenticates with its own credentials and its own host key check.
Connection Proxy
Reusable SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT profiles you attach to machines, or override per forwarding rule when one connection needs a different path.
Mosh
Sessions that shrug off network changes and sleep. SwiftServer bootstraps mosh-server over SSH, then rides UDP with predictive local echo.
And the rest of the toolbox.
SFTP files
Browse, upload, download, and move files, even server to server between two live sessions.
Preview & edit
Quick Look almost anything and edit text files right on the server.
Snippets
Save a command once, run it across many machines and whole groups at the same time.
Global View
Every server on a world map, filtered by tags, with latency at a glance.
Groups & tags
Organize the fleet, then batch-open terminals or SFTP for an entire group.
Session history
Recent terminal, SFTP, and forwarding sessions, one tap from reconnecting.
Locked secrets
Require Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode before saved credentials are shown.
Make it yours
Twelve accent colors, four app icons, animated dashboard backgrounds, custom layouts.
12 languages
Localized from English and Chinese to Japanese, German, Arabic, and Ukrainian.
Traversio. The engine underneath.
Our own open-source SSH2 engine, written in Swift. The terminal, SFTP, tunnels, jump hosts, Mosh, and monitoring all ride it.
Modern crypto by default
Curve25519, AES-GCM, ChaCha20-Poly1305, strict key exchange.
Host keys you can actually read
The SHA-256 fingerprint shows before you trust; changes show old and new side by side.
Keys made on your device
Generate Ed25519, ECDSA, or RSA keys and push the public key in one step.
Exercised against OpenSSH
Tested against OpenSSH release matrices, with every login method the app ships.
Open source
The full engine is public on GitHub — anyone can read, audit, and improve the code that carries your traffic.
Three real apps. One Swift core.
SwiftServer is written in Swift and compiled natively for each platform it ships on. The Mac app is a real Mac app with menus, windows, and shortcuts, not an iPad layout stretched to fill a desktop.
0 × Electron0 × Catalyst
Pick up any device. Everything is there.
Three apps, one setup. Turn on iCloud sync and your servers, keys, tags, and rules follow you between iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Your iCloud, not our cloud
Hosts, keys, tags, snippets, and forwarding rules sync through your private iCloud database. SwiftServer runs no sync servers at all.
Secrets stay sealed
Passwords, private keys, and passphrases travel only in iCloud Keychain, end-to-end encrypted by Apple. Not even we could read them.
Trust travels too
Trusted host keys and forwarding rules ride along, so a new device is ready to connect without re-checking every fingerprint.
None of your data is our business.
SwiftServer has no servers of its own. Your devices talk straight to yours, and what you save stays on your hardware and in your iCloud.
No account to create, no analytics, no crash-reporting SDKs.
Credentials live in the device Keychain, behind an optional Face ID gate.
IP lookup runs from your own server; iCloud sync lives in your own account. Both optional.
Even the SSH engine is open source — audit Traversio on GitHub.
Diagram: your devices connect directly to your servers through an encrypted SSH tunnel. SwiftServer operates no servers in between, and the only optional third parties are ipinfo.io, reached from your own server, and your own iCloud account.
