bsns.SSH

The SSH client whose keys can't be stolen — because they can't be copied. bsns.SSH generates your key inside the Secure Enclave and asks for Face ID or Touch ID when it signs. Free, open source, and private by design: no account, no ads, no analytics.

KEYS THAT NEVER LEAVE THE HARDWARE
• Secure Enclave keys: created on the chip, unlocked with Face ID or Touch ID, impossible to export.
• FIDO2 security keys over USB-C, NFC, or Lightning, and PIV smart cards — the private key stays on the token.
• Software Ed25519 and ECDSA keys when you want a portable key, protected in encrypted backups.
• Every connection signs through a built-in SSH agent, so the network code never sees a private key.

SEE EVERY MACHINE AT A GLANCE
The Machines view lists every tmux window on every host you use, shows what each one is doing, and flags the ones waiting for you — with a local notification when you're elsewhere. Tap one to jump straight into that window.

PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
• Open sessions follow you: start on your iPad, continue on your iPhone in the same tmux session.
• Workspaces save each project's hosts, folders, and windows, and restore them on the host after a reboot.
• Mosh keeps sessions alive through network changes and sleep, and reconnects when you return.
• The tmux panel shows a session's windows and full scrollback as native text you can search and select — even over mosh.

MADE FOR IPAD
A sidebar keeps Connect, your Inbox, Machines, Workspaces, and every live session one tap away, each with its status. Open two sessions side by side, drive everything from a hardware keyboard with a full set of shortcuts, use a trackpad or mouse, and work in Split View and Stage Manager.

MADE FOR IPHONE DUO
Edge to edge on both screens. Folded, it's a full terminal with the shortcut bar under your thumb; open it up and the app switches to the roomy sidebar layout, with space for two sessions side by side. Secure Enclave keys sign with Touch ID.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED ON THE ROAD
Tabs for multiple sessions, find in output, SFTP file browsing, local port forwarding, jump hosts, snippets, a shortcut key bar, and Shortcuts/Siri actions to open a host or workspace. Import your existing ~/.ssh config, known_hosts, and keys in one step.

YOUR SETUP, ON YOUR STORAGE
Sync hosts, keys, and workspaces across devices through a folder you choose — iCloud Drive or any Files provider. Everything is encrypted on the device first; your storage only ever sees ciphertext. There is no bsns server and no account.

PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION
The app talks only to your servers and the storage you pick — plus, if you pair your devices, encrypted messages in your private iCloud database and Apple push notifications. No analytics, no tracking SDKs, no crash reports sent anywhere. It's open source, so you can verify that yourself.
