Termphin vs WebSSH
WebSSH is a sysadmin toolbox for iPhone, iPad and Mac: SSH, Mosh, Telnet, Serial and SFTP, plus a Proxmox client and network tools, with everything unlocked by one purchase. Termphin is a free SSH client whose shell keeps running on the server when the connection drops.

Which one is for you
Pick Termphin if you want
- Persistence without Mosh or tmux
Termphin uploads a small open-source agent and runs your shell under it. Close the app, reattach to the same session.
- Jump hosts and remote forwarding
Termphin chains jump hosts and forwards remote ports, which the WebSSH listing does not mention.
- Free outright
No PRO tier. Everything is in the app from the start.
Pick WebSSH if you want
- Every protocol
SSH, Mosh, Telnet and Serial in one app, with local and dynamic port forwarding.
- Sysadmin extras
A Proxmox client for nodes, VMs and containers, and ping, traceroute, DNS and whois without leaving the app.
- Mac and iCloud
The same app on Mac, with iCloud sync, for a one-time $15.
Moving from WebSSH
- Keep WebSSH for now
Nothing has to go. Try Termphin on the hosts you use most.
- Bring your key
Import your private key into Termphin. PuTTY-format keys need converting to OpenSSH format first.
- Add your hosts
Each host is a profile with address, user, key and an optional jump host.
