+ strengths

  • No SSH keys, Tailscale or port forwarding needed; works behind NAT through the relay
  • End-to-end encryption (Curve25519, AES-256-GCM per the App Store text) with session handoff between iPhone, iPad and Mac
  • MIT-licensed repository and very low price ($0.99/month Pro)
  • Parallel multi-session and shortcut toolbar for terminal keys

! weak points

  • Only reaches Macs that run the companion agent; not an SSH client for arbitrary Linux servers
  • Free and paid tiers are metered by relay token traffic (1,000 / 10,000 / 50,000 tokens per 5 hours)
  • Little adoption signal: 0 ratings on the US App Store and 1 GitHub star
  • iOS only; no Android or Windows host mentioned
