About BulkHead
Your iPhone connects to everything — except your servers. BulkHead fixes that, and now it puts them right inside the Files app. One app for SFTP, SMB, WebDAV, and S3. Browse, edit, and transfer files across every protocol you actually use — from BulkHead or from anywhere in iOS. Zero telemetry. Free with up to 3 connections. — NOW IN THE FILES APP — Every connection shows up as a Location in the Files app. Open, save, download, upload, rename, move, and delete your remote files from any app that uses Files. SFTP, SMB, WebDAV, and S3 — all in one place. — A FINDER-QUALITY FILE MANAGER — On iPad and Mac, BulkHead feels like Finder: a source-list sidebar, column view with horizontal drill-down, a live preview pane, Quick Look, inline rename, full keyboard navigation, and spring-loaded folders. On iPhone, it's fast and one-handed. — CONNECT TO ANYTHING — SFTP, SMB, WebDAV, and S3-compatible services (Amazon S3, MinIO, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2). One-tap presets for Tailscale, R2, B2, MinIO, and Hetzner. Auto-discover servers on your local network with Bonjour. Credentials stored in the iOS Keychain with Face ID / Touch ID lock. — TRUST, VERIFIED — SSH host-key verification (TOFU) warns you if a server's key ever changes. Self-signed and internal-CA TLS certificates are supported with user-approved pinning. Your connection is yours. — EDIT CODE ON YOUR SERVER — Syntax highlighting for 50+ languages with 30 color themes. Auto-save as you type. Open, edit, and save files directly on remote servers. — MARKDOWN WITH LIVE PREVIEW — Split-pane editor with a formatting toolbar. Headers, bold, italic, lists, code blocks, links. Export to PDF or HTML. — BROWSE & PREVIEW — Breadcrumb navigation, list or grid view, sort by name, date, size, or type. Preview images (pinch-to-zoom), PDFs, video, audio, and text — all without downloading. — TRANSFER & BACK UP — Stream large files with real progress and reliable background transfers. Send files from any app with the Share extension. Batch move, copy, delete, and download with folder structure preserved (Pro). Automatically back up your camera roll to your own server (Pro). — SSH KEY MANAGEMENT — Generate Ed25519 keys, import existing keys, manage passphrases. Passwordless authentication. — PRICING — Free: Up to 3 connections with full features Pro: $6.99/year (1-week free trial) or $14.99 one-time lifetime purchase Pro unlocks: Unlimited connections, transfer queue, automatic photo backup, AES-256-GCM cache encryption, external display — PRIVACY — No analytics.
