Warpeer for iPhone is a native SSH terminal built on Ghostty. It requires iOS 18 or later. There is no account to create, and every feature is free during Early Access.
Add your first host
- Open the Hosts tab and tap the + button.
- Enter a name, the host address, the port and your username.
- Choose how to authenticate: type a password, or pick a saved Keychain credential. Leave the password empty when the server uses Tailscale SSH.
- Tap Connect.
Warpeer can also list SSH servers that advertise themselves on your local network. Tap the nearby-devices button in the connection form to open Local SSH Devices and pick one instead of typing its address.
Trust the server
The first time you connect, Warpeer shows the server's host-key fingerprint and asks you to verify it. Compare it with the fingerprint your server administrator or ssh-keygen -lf reports, then accept it. Later connections with the same fingerprint go through without another prompt. If the fingerprint changes, Warpeer stops and asks again.
Find your way around
- Sessions lists the terminals you have open and the tmux and Herdr sessions found on your servers.
- Hosts holds your saved servers. Long-press a host to open its files over SFTP.
- Vaults stores credentials, snippets, known hosts and connection logs.
- Settings sits in the navigation bar and controls the terminal, keyboard, appearance and privacy.
Next, read Hosts and SSH keys to set up key-based sign-in.
