About BlinkSSH

Your terminal. At home on Android.

BlinkSSH brings a focused terminal, thoughtful touch controls and real OpenSSH to your phone. Keep your servers close and your terminal in focus.

Move naturally between sessions

Find hosts by name, organize them into groups, and recognize them by their avatars. Switch terminals with compact tabs, or swipe into a carousel of live terminals and tap the one you need. Keep the keyboard open while you choose your next session.

Built for real terminal work

• Connect with the bundled OpenSSH engine
• Use passwords or key files already on your device
• Verify server host keys and get warned when a key changes
• Configure ProxyJump, ProxyCommand, keep-alives, startup commands, and port forwarding
• Keep explicitly opened sessions connected in the background
• Work in a full xterm-compatible terminal with color, Unicode, links, mouse input, and scrollback

Type less, stay in control

Get suggestions from your snippets, recent commands and shell context. Bash-aware autocomplete follows supported nested SSH sessions, so suggestions can stay relevant as you move between servers. Optional AI autocomplete runs on your device after you choose and download a model. Terminal context is not sent to an online AI service. Suggestions insert text for you to review; they do not execute it.

Your commands, one tap away

Save commands as snippets and arrange them in the order you use them. Open a paged snippet panel in the keyboard area, tap a snippet to run it, then return to typing. Build a keyboard row with the keys and actions you need.

Make it yours

Choose the app theme, terminal palette, font size, cursor, keyboard row, haptics, clipboard safeguards, and accessibility behavior that suit the way you work.

Bring your setup

Import OpenSSH config hosts, organize reusable command snippets, and export host profiles for backup. Saved passwords are protected with Android Keystore-backed encryption, and exports leave out passwords, private keys, and known-host trust records.

Private by design

BlinkSSH has no account, ads, analytics, or developer telemetry. Your hosts, settings, snippets, and command history stay on your device. SSH traffic goes to the servers you choose—not to us.
