Key vault & security
Generate ed25519 & RSA keys on-device, lock them behind Face ID, and sync them end-to-end encrypted — never through a NetShell server.
iPhone, iPad & Mac · iOS 17+ · Free to start · Pro $69.99 / year · No account · No telemetry by default
On-device generation
Your keys are born on your device
Tap once and NetShell mints an ed25519 or RSA-4096 keypair straight into the hardware-backed iOS Keychain — the private half never touches a file, a clipboard, or a screenshot. Already have OpenSSH keys? Import them, encrypted ones included.
Biometric vault
It will not show a single key until it knows it is you
The vault stays sealed behind Face ID and refuses to render your keys until you authenticate. Step away and it auto-relocks after the timeout you choose — an unattended phone never leaves your servers one tap away.
End-to-end sync
On every device you own — and on none of our servers
Keys and passwords sync through Apple end-to-end encrypted iCloud Keychain, sealed on-device before they ever leave. They appear on your iPhone, iPad and Mac and nowhere else. We cannot read them. Apple cannot either.
Fail-closed by default
No password reaches a host you have not trusted
On the first connection to a new server NetShell stops and shows you the fingerprint — nothing authenticates until you tap Trust. A destructive-command guard then catches rm -rf, DROP TABLE, force-pushes and 20+ others before they hit the shell, even typed letter by letter.
