Which one is for you

Pick Termphin if you want

  • Sessions that survive

    Termphin's open-source agent keeps your shell running on the server through a lost signal or a closed app.

  • Tunnels and jump hosts

    Local and remote port forwarding and chained jump hosts, which the Termix listing does not mention.

  • Uploads and snippets free

    File upload, editing and snippets with run history are included, with no Pro tier.

Pick Termix if you want

  • Serious file work

    A file manager modelled on WinSCP with permissions, and an editor that highlights over 40 languages.

  • Fleet commands

    Pro runs snippets on several hosts at once and manages environment variables.

  • iCloud

    Hosts, keys and passwords are stored encrypted in iCloud and follow you across Apple devices.

Moving from Termix

    Nothing has to go. Try Termphin on the hosts you use most.

  2. Bring your key

    Import your private key into Termphin, or generate a new Ed25519 key.

  3. Add your hosts

    Each host is a profile with address, user, key and an optional jump host.
