KiteShell
Mobile SSH and SFTP for jump hosts, Cloudflare Tunnel, and internal infrastructure.
KiteShell is built for engineers, operators, and developers who need a serious mobile SSH client instead of a bare terminal toy. It is designed for the paths that usually break phone-based access: bastions, ProxyJump chains, SFTP transfers, and Cloudflare-protected infrastructure.
Core features
- SSH terminal sessions with password and key-based authentication
- SFTP browsing with upload and download support
- ProxyJump and jump-host routing for bastion-based access
- Cloudflare Tunnel and Cloudflare Access login flows for protected internal services
- Saved server profiles and reusable connection settings
- SSH key management with QR import and QR export support
- Tabbed terminal sessions for working across multiple hosts
- Custom terminal shortcuts for repeat commands such as tmux detach sequences
- Configurable terminal appearance and scrollback for longer sessions
Reach protected infrastructure from mobile
KiteShell supports the access patterns common in real infrastructure teams:
- direct SSH to a host
- SSH through a jump host
- SFTP to the same saved server profile
- Cloudflare Tunnel access for internal endpoints
- Cloudflare Access browser login before SSH
- composed routes where Cloudflare and jump-host access need to work together
