How Shell22 protects your data

GOOD TO KNOW

One more question?

Get support
What does Shell22 cost?

Shell22 is free. Pro unlocks more features for a one-time payment of €14.99. No subscription. This is the price in Germany; other regions follow Apple’s pricing tiers.

Do I need an account?

No account or registration. Your SSH connection goes directly from your device to your server.

Does Shell22 work on iPad?

Yes. Shell22 supports iPhone and iPad running iOS or iPadOS 27.0 or later.

Does Shell22 work with Claude Code and Codex?

Yes. The agents run on your server. Shell22 is your SSH terminal, with per-host start commands, tmux and optional notifications with Pro.

Does my session survive a dropped connection?

With tmux enabled for the host, reconnecting reattaches to the same session. tmux must be installed on your server; the app does not install it.

Where are passwords and key data stored?

Passwords, private keys and trusted server identities stay in the device-bound Keychain. Public key data, servers and snippets sync when iCloud is enabled. Workflows also include the latest run and up to 128 KB of output.
