Direct SSH connectionSaved hostsDevice-only Keychain

Sometimes all you need is a shell.

Choose a saved host, open the terminal, and run the command you came for.

01

Your hosts, ready to revisit

Save connection profiles for the machines you use. Open an ordinary shell or find the tmux session that already contains the output you want.

02

A direct connection you can understand

Cavreno connects from your device to your SSH host. Passwords, imported keys, and passphrases use the device-only, when-unlocked Keychain. First-connection host-key verification helps you check the destination.

03

Review the command before it goes

Compose gives text room before you send it. Terminal search and native selection help you find and copy the part of the output that matters.

How it works

A familiar way in.

  1. 1

    Add your SSH host

    Enter its address and user, then choose password or private-key authentication.

  2. 2

    Verify the destination

    Compare the first-connection host-key fingerprint with a trusted source.

  3. 3

    Get the context you need

    Open a shell or existing tmux pane and run your usual commands.

Your network. Your machines. Your shell.

Use a host your device can reach, whether that’s on the same network or through a separately configured private VPN. Cavreno provides the SSH workspace; your network configuration determines where you can connect.

Your host needs to be awake and reachable. Set up remote network access separately; Cavreno is an interactive terminal rather than a background monitoring service.

Questions

Good questions.

Can I connect to my home server?

Yes, if it runs an SSH service and is reachable from your phone. Connecting from outside your home network requires an appropriate network path, such as a separately configured private VPN.

Which authentication methods are supported?

Passwords and imported OpenSSH-format Ed25519 or RSA private keys are supported. Encrypted private keys can use a passphrase.

Do I need to copy my credentials into a cloud vault?

Cavreno stores these SSH credentials in the device-only iOS Keychain. Its SSH connection goes directly to the host.

Is it a server-monitoring service?

No. It is an interactive SSH and tmux client. You open the app and inspect your hosts using the tools available on them.

Keep a way back to your machines in your pocket.
