The All-New SwiftServer 2.0, Plus 30% Off for WWDC

Celebrate WWDC 2026 with 30% off SwiftServer Lifetime Premium, and see why the redesigned SwiftServer 2.0 is the best time yet to upgrade.

The All-New SwiftServer 2.0, Plus 30% Off for WWDC

WWDC season is here, and we are celebrating with a limited-time offer: SwiftServer Lifetime Premium is 30% off from June 7 through June 27, 2026.

If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade, this is the one. SwiftServer 2.0 is not just a bigger release. It is a new foundation for managing servers from Mac, iPad, and iPhone, with a redesigned connection core, stronger security model, new network workflows, and a much more flexible operations dashboard.

Why SwiftServer 2.0 Is The Right Time To Jump In

SwiftServer started with a simple idea: server management should feel at home on Apple devices. Version 2.0 takes that idea much further. It brings together monitoring, SSH terminal sessions, SFTP, Docker visibility, port forwarding, proxy routes, jump servers, widgets, Live Activity, and session history in one app.

That matters because server work is rarely one clean task. You check a machine, open a terminal, inspect a process, forward a local service, grab a file, compare another host, and come back later to the same context. SwiftServer 2.0 is built around that real workflow.

Powered By Traversio

The biggest change in SwiftServer 2.0 is under the surface: the SSH connection layer has been rebuilt around Traversio.

Traversio is our Swift-native SSH connection core. It handles the pieces that have to be right every time: connection setup, authentication, host key verification, diagnostics, proxy routing, jump-host routes, SFTP, and port forwarding. Instead of treating terminal, monitoring, SFTP, and forwarding as separate one-off connections, SwiftServer can now build them on a shared connection foundation.

That makes SwiftServer stronger in practical ways. Connections have clearer lifecycle handling. Authentication errors are easier to understand. Host-key trust is part of the flow. Advanced routes like proxy connections and SSH jump servers can work across more of the app, not just inside one screen. And when we improve Traversio, SwiftServer gets a better networking base for every feature built on top of SSH.

More Reliable Connections

SwiftServer 2.0 puts a lot of attention into connection stability. The app now has a more structured model for SSH sessions, connection diagnostics, host-key decisions, keyboard-interactive prompts, legacy RSA compatibility, and secure key loading.

The result is not just "it connects." The goal is that when something does not connect, SwiftServer gives you a more useful path to understand why, whether the issue is authentication, host-key trust, a proxy route, or the remote server itself.

Port Forwarding, Built For Real Work

Port forwarding is one of the headline additions in SwiftServer 2.0, and it is designed for the way developers and operators actually use tunnels.

You can create saved forwarding rules, start them from SwiftServer, inspect the active forwarding path, copy the endpoint, and jump back into the session later. SwiftServer supports:

  • Local forwarding for reaching a remote service from your device.
  • Remote forwarding for exposing a local endpoint through the server.
  • Dynamic SOCKS forwarding for routing client traffic through SSH on demand.

That means you can open an internal web dashboard, reach a database bound to localhost on a remote machine, test a service behind a firewall, or create a SOCKS tunnel without rebuilding the command by hand every time.

Port forwarding also fits into the rest of the app. Rules can use machine defaults, connection proxy profiles, and the same SSH connection foundation used by terminal and SFTP sessions.

Proxy Connections And SSH Jump Servers

Not every server sits on the open internet, and many teams do not want them to. SwiftServer 2.0 adds first-class support for connection proxy profiles and SSH jump server routes.

Proxy profiles help SwiftServer connect through network environments that require an intermediate proxy. SSH jump servers let you route through a bastion host before reaching the target machine. You can build and reuse these routes instead of keeping the setup in scattered notes or rewriting it for each session.

For people managing private infrastructure, homelabs, staging networks, or production systems behind bastion hosts, this is a major upgrade.

A Safer Storage Strategy

SwiftServer 2.0 also changes how sensitive data is handled. Credentials, passwords, private keys, key passphrases, and proxy credentials now move through a Keychain-backed storage strategy, with migration and validation designed around the new 2.0 data model.

Trusted host keys are part of the connection flow as well, so SwiftServer can remember the hosts you trust and warn when a known host changes. That gives you a better security baseline without making everyday SSH work feel heavy.

A Redesigned Global View

The new Global View gives your server fleet a more visual home. Instead of only scanning a list, you can see machines on a map, filter by tags, check latency and status, and open the machine that needs attention.

It is especially useful when your servers live across regions, clouds, customers, or physical locations. SwiftServer 2.0 makes that geography feel like part of the dashboard, not a separate report you have to build somewhere else.

A Dashboard You Can Shape Around Your Workflow

SwiftServer 2.0 also makes the status view more personal. You can customize the status layout so the cards and metrics you care about are where you expect them.

That sounds small until you use it every day. Some people care most about CPU, memory, and disk. Others watch latency, network throughput, Docker state, uptime, or selected storage volumes. SwiftServer 2.0 gives you more control over the dashboard instead of forcing every server into the same layout.

Widgets, Live Activity, And Faster Checks

SwiftServer now goes beyond the app window. Widgets help you keep server status visible from the system, and Live Activity can track active Terminal, SFTP, and port forwarding sessions while they are running.

It is a better fit for how server work happens on Apple devices: quick checks, active sessions, and background awareness without constantly reopening the app.

Better Terminal Experience

The terminal experience in SwiftServer 2.0 is more stable and more customizable. You get more built-in terminal themes through SwiftTerminal, plus controls for font, cursor, scrollbar behavior, and terminal appearance.

On iOS, SwiftServer also adds practical terminal text workflows like Select Text and Copy All. It is a small detail, but it matters when you are reading logs, copying output, or sending a command result to a teammate from your phone.

What Lifetime Premium Unlocks

During the WWDC offer, Lifetime Premium is 30% off and unlocks the full SwiftServer experience:

  • Unlimited saved servers.
  • iCloud sync across supported Apple devices.
  • Advanced monitoring and IP/network information.
  • SSH customization.
  • Terminal customization.
  • SFTP text editing and file preview.
  • Premium workflows such as jump hosts, port forwarding, and other advanced server-management features.
  • Ongoing feature updates as SwiftServer continues to grow.

No coupon code is needed. Open SwiftServer, go to Settings, choose Premium, and the App Store purchase flow will show the promotional price during the offer window.

Get SwiftServer 2.0
