Shellwave Terminal aplikasi untuk Android deskripsi
Shellwave is an SSH client for Android phones and foldables, built because every mobile SSH client makes you choose between convenient and trustworthy — and thats a stupid choice.
Sessions that survive
Your train goes into a tunnel and the connection drops. When the signal comes back, your session is still there — reconnected without re-typing a password, and with optional tmux-backed sessions, reattached with scrollback intact. You dont do anything. Hosts can also keep a persistent session running, so you can close the app and come back to exactly where you left off.
Nothing is trusted for you
Host keys are checked the first time you connect and remembered after that, with the fingerprint shown so you can check it yourself. If a host key ever changes, Shellwave stops you before you go any further. There is no accept-all mode, and a script running from a widget or a tile never answers a prompt on your behalf.
Your keys stay on your device
Password, an imported private key, a key generated on your device, or keyboard-interactive/2FA — whatever you already use. Everything is encrypted on-device, with hardware-backed protection on phones that support it, and an optional biometric lock. You can generate a key on the device and install it in a hosts authorized_keys without the private key ever leaving the phone.
Save yourself the typing
Save commands or scripts against a host, with parameters you fill in when you run them. Watch them run live, run them in the background and check back later, or fire them into a session you already have open. You can launch a script from the app itself, a home-screen widget, an app shortcut, or a Quick Settings tile.
Networking, done properly
- Local and remote port forwarding
- A SOCKS5 proxy
- Jump host/bastion chaining through multiple hops
- Import your existing ~/.ssh/config as-is — hosts, ports, users, keys, jump hosts
Forwarded ports and the proxy bind to loopback unless you say otherwise.
File transfer
Send files to a host or pull them down over SFTP, without switching apps.
A real terminal
256 colours, wide character support, correct cursor and scroll handling. If you use vim, tmux, or htop, they will look and behave the way you expect. No weird redraws, no broken keys, no compromises.
Built with foldables in mind
On unfolded or wide screens you get a two-pane layout, host list next to the terminal. Tabletop mode keeps the terminal above the hinge and the keyboard below it. Fold or unfold mid-session and nothing drops.
Make it look like yours
A handful of bundled monospace fonts, or bring your own. Colour schemes like Solarized, Gruvbox, Nord, Dracula, Tango and Campbell, plus a full editor if you want to build your own. A key bar you can customise per host with macros and layouts. Material You colour throughout.
Privacy
No usage data, no analytics, no crash reporting. Shellwave only connects to the hosts you tell it to — nothing else.
The Play Store build has an optional one-time tip for the developer. It does not unlock anything, and the F-Droid build leaves it out entirely.
