In their own words
Secure ShellFish
Secure ShellFish is an SSH and SFTP client for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It provides a native terminal with native rendering, file-aware drag-and-drop, OSC 52 clipboard synchronization, and inline link detection. Connections expose remote files through the iOS Files app and Mac Finder, where files can be browsed, edited in place, and have permissions changed. Authentication supports passwords, public keys, two-factor authentication, ED25519, ECDSA and RSA keys, YubiKeys, Secure Enclave keys, and short-lived SSH certificates. Server configurations synchronize through iCloud Keychain, and snippets synchronize through iCloud. Shortcuts can upload or download files, list directories, run commands, back up data, or open a terminal. It can launch and destroy Linux virtual machines on DigitalOcean or Hetzner Cloud. Pro features add offline folders, media streaming, tmux controls, widgets, and Live Activities. The Free plan costs nothing.
