SmoothSSH

SmoothSSH: Terminal Velocity

SmoothSSH is a high-performance, gesture-driven SSH client for Android, built specifically for sysadmins who need speed, security, and a frictionless terminal experience on the move.

Forget clunky menus and dropped frames. SmoothSSH provides a smooth interface optimized for modern hardware, ensuring 60fps terminal scrolling and cryptographic handshakes that don’t hang your UI.

✨ Key Features

  • Multi-Session Swiping: Fluidly swipe left or right on the terminal canvas to instantly snap between active SSH sessions across your cluster.
  • The Transcript Engine: One tap dumps your entire live terminal buffer into a native, searchable text view—perfect for grabbing IP addresses or logs.
  • Dynamic Control Row: A mobile-optimized accessory row that seamlessly swaps to vital keys (SIGINT, EOF, SUSPEND) the moment you tap CTRL.
  • Encrypted Vault: All connections and private keys are stored in a heavily encrypted local vault using AES-256.
  • Biometric App Lock: Secure the entire application behind your device’s native Fingerprint, Face ID, or PIN.
  • Volume Rocker Scaling: Instantly scale your terminal font size up or down using your phone’s physical volume buttons.

🛠️ Performance Stack

SmoothSSH is built on a lean, AOT-compiled stack to ensure maximum security and rendering speed:

  • Terminal Emulator: xterm.dart
  • SSH/Crypto: dartssh2 (Native Compiled)
  • Security: flutter_secure_storage & local_auth
  • UI Engine: Flutter (Custom Cupertino Slide Transitions)
