support@omelas.techFrequently Asked Questions
How do I add a new connection?
Tap the '+' button on the home screen, enter your server details (hostname, port, username), choose your authentication method (password or SSH key), and save the connection.
Is my data secure?
Yes. All credentials are stored locally on your device using iOS Keychain or Android Keystore encryption. No data is sent to our servers. SSH connections are encrypted end-to-end.
Can I use SSH keys for authentication?
Yes, RemoteConsoleSSH supports both password and SSH key authentication. You can import existing keys or generate new ones within the app.
Why can't I connect to my server?
Common issues include: incorrect hostname/IP, wrong port (default SSH port is 22), firewall blocking the connection, or incorrect credentials. Ensure your server has SSH enabled and your network allows outbound SSH connections.
Does the app work over mobile data?
Yes, RemoteConsoleSSH works over both WiFi and mobile data connections. However, some networks may block SSH traffic on port 22.
How do I enable biometric authentication?
Go to the app settings and enable Face ID / Touch ID. You'll be prompted to authenticate when opening the app or accessing saved connections.
Quick Tips
Use SSH Keys
SSH keys are more secure than passwords and don't require typing credentials each time.
Use Tailscale
For secure access to home/office servers, consider using Tailscale VPN for easy connectivity.
Portrait Mode
Rotate to landscape for a wider terminal view, especially useful for long commands.
Quick Connect
Long-press on a saved connection to quickly connect without opening the details.
