Basalt SSH

Basalt was built to be the sysadmin's Swiss Army knife. SSH, SFTP, tunnels, an editor and a local terminal, in a single app.

Split the screen and work on two things at once: a server in each half, or the terminal next to your files.

No account, no subscription and no server of ours: your machines, your keys and your history stay on your devices and in your iCloud.

SPLIT SCREEN
• What you select in one pane goes to the other with a tap.
• On iPad, several windows, Split View and keyboard shortcuts. On iPhone Duo, one pane on each half.

DESIGN
• Designed for iOS 27, with Liquid Glass, in light or dark.
• Eight built-in themes, your own or your iTerm2 ones, and the font you like.
• Each server with its own color.

TERMINAL
• SSH with ed25519 and RSA keys in the Keychain, behind Face ID or your passcode.
• Reconnects as soon as the network changes and reattaches to tmux: if iOS closes the app, you come back to where you were.
• A key bar with Esc, Ctrl, Tab and arrows, so vim and tmux work on a phone.
• Jump hosts (ProxyJump), local and remote port forwarding, and ~/.ssh/config import and export.
• Telnet for routers and old gear, always marked as unencrypted.

FILES
• SFTP and SCP: browse, upload, download, and compress and extract on the server itself.
• An editor with highlighting for eighteen languages. Before saving it shows what changes.
• Your servers in the Files app, Shortcuts, widgets, and snippets from your Apple Watch.

LOCAL TERMINAL
• ls, grep, awk, git, curl, ssh, ping, dig and more, inside the app.

GAME SERVERS
• Install a Minecraft: Java Edition server on your VPS with its own panel: console, players, backups, tasks and alerts to Discord, ntfy or Telegram. No Docker and no program of ours on the machine, and it's gone with one tap.

FOUNDING USERS NEVER PAY. EVER.
Basalt is free and complete: no purchases, no ads and no limits. Unlimited servers and snippets, split screen, several windows, tunnels, sync across devices, Files, Shortcuts, widgets and the watch, your own themes, and the game server panel in full.
And if it ever stops being free, nothing changes for you: you keep all of it. It’s tied to your Apple Account, with nothing for you to do.

WHAT IT DOESN'T DO
• There is no Mac version.
• On iPhone, tunnels stop when the app goes to the background. That's iOS.
• It doesn't speak mosh.
• It collects no data and shows no ads.

Basalt is not an official Minecraft product. It is not approved by or associated with Mojang or Microsoft.
