About RootDeck

RootDeck is a fast, secure SSH and SFTP client for iPhone and iPad: a terminal, file manager, server dashboard and AI agent for the servers you already own. Connect to your servers directly — no RootDeck account and no cloud in between. Built for developers, sysadmins and DevOps who need their infrastructure on the go. AI AGENT ON YOUR SERVER • Chat with Codex, Claude Code, Grok or GitHub Copilot running on your own server, or with your own API agent for any OpenAI-compatible provider. • Install the agent and sign in without leaving the app. Choose the model and how hard it thinks. • Decide what the agent may do: read only, the working folder, Auto with a reviewer model, or full access — and approve requests as they come. • Add MCP connectors from the catalog, attach files and photos, and dictate — speech is recognized on the device. • Follow background tasks and your account's usage limits, and sign out to switch accounts. SERVER AND TERMINAL • SSH terminal with ten color themes, Day and Night mode, cursor styles and a key bar with function keys. • Inline command suggestions — RootDeck never runs them on its own. • Server dashboard: CPU, memory, disks, network, services and processes. • Live logs with pause, filtering and links. FILES • SFTP file browser: upload, download, copy, move, rename and delete. • Built-in text editor, file details and permissions. CONNECTIONS • Password and SSH key authentication, jump hosts. • Host key verification against man-in-the-middle attacks. • Find SSH servers on your local network. • Optional: keep your session alive when you switch apps, with a connection card on the Lock Screen. • Linux, macOS and Windows OpenSSH servers. PRIVACY Credentials stay in Apple Keychain. SSH traffic goes straight between your device and your servers; the AI agent talks to its provider from your server, and API keys stay there. RootDeck collects no analytics, and none of our servers sit in the path. Available in English, Russian and Simplified Chinese.

What’s new

Version 1.2.0 · Updated October 24, 2026

RootDeck 1.2.0 brings an AI agent to your own server, finds servers on your local network, keeps your session alive when you switch apps, and adds terminal themes and Simplified Chinese. AI AGENT • A new Agent tab: chat with Codex, Claude Code, Grok or GitHub Copilot running on your server — Linux, macOS or Windows. • Install the agent and sign in right in the app. Or add your own API agent for any OpenAI-compatible provider; the key is stored only on your server. • Pick the model and reasoning level, see your account and usage limits, and sign out to switch accounts. • Access levels: Read Only, Working Folder, Auto (a separate model reviews commands for Codex and Claude Code) and Full Access. Approve requests and answer the agent's questions right in the conversation. • Connectors: browse the MCP catalog, add connectors and sign in to them. • Attach files, photos and folders, dictate on the device, and follow long-running background tasks — you get a notification when they finish. • Conversation history and readable action lines instead of raw commands. CONNECTIONS • Find SSH servers on your local network and connect with a tap. • Optional: keep your session alive when you switch to another app, with a connection card on the Lock Screen and a journal of where you connected from. Location is used only for this and stays on your device. • The server form shows the saved host key; keys left without a server are removed. TERMINAL • Ten color themes, a Day and Night mode that follows the system, and cursor styles. • A themed key bar with function keys; Page Up fixed. • Change the text size from the terminal menu. ALSO • Five app themes. • RootDeck now speaks Simplified Chinese. • The privacy policy moved to the menu and covers every new feature.
