+ strengths

  • Remote server directories appear in the Files app and Finder, with optional offline folders (Pro)
  • Shortcuts actions such as Run Command and Control Cloud Server allow automation; servers sync via iCloud Keychain
  • Frequent releases: six builds between Aug 31 and Oct 10 per the App Store history, with post-quantum key exchange and Secure Enclave keys listed

! weak points

  • Apple-only; requires iOS/iPadOS 17.4+ or macOS 14.4+ and no Android or Windows version
  • Some features are gated: offline folders and Live Activities are Pro-only, requiring a $2.99/month, $14.99/year or $29.99 lifetime purchase
  • Command suggestion feature requires Apple Intelligence, so it is unavailable on devices without it; the site does not describe Mosh or port forwarding

~/who it is for

best for
Apple users who want server folders in Files/Finder and Shortcuts automation alongside a terminal.
look elsewhere if
