Download AquaSSH
AquaSSH delivers a complete SSH terminal for administrators and developers who need reliable remote access from a mobile or desktop device. It combines password and key authentication, an xterm-compatible emulator, Mosh support, ProxyJump chaining, and encrypted local storage of hosts and identities. The free edition covers essential terminal work, while a single one-time purchase unlocks SFTP, port forwarding, snippets, session search, and encrypted backup.
The client avoids accounts and cloud storage, keeping private keys and passwords inside the operating system keystore. Import tools accept ~/.ssh/config, Termius CSV, and PuTTY .reg files, which simplifies migration from other applications. Host grouping and unlimited profiles in the Pro version support larger server inventories without adding subscription costs or external dependencies.
AquaSSH targets users who prefer a terminal-first workflow with optional file management and tunneling features. Port forwarding includes local, remote, and dynamic SOCKS5 modes, and the SFTP browser reuses the active shell connection. Encrypted backup files restore hosts, identities, and snippets on any supported platform, making device changes straightforward while keeping sensitive data under the user's control.
