Android app

SSH Ache Teams for Android puts your team's servers in your pocket: a real SSH terminal, holding the connections your team already shares — decrypted on the phone, never on our servers.

It's the Teams phone client, so it signs in to your SSH Ache Teams account. Team Free covers 2 members, and your personal cloud vault comes along too. Android 7.0 or newer.

Link the phone

You never type a password into the app. Instead you approve the phone from your browser:

1. Open the app and tap Connect via browser. sshache.com opens in your browser.
2. Sign in, or create an account.
3. The phone and the browser each show a short code. Check they match, then approve.
4. The phone is linked, and your teams and connections load — decrypted on the device.

Behind the scenes the phone makes a one-time key, your signed-in browser seals your identity to it, and the phone unseals it locally. Matching the code means a stray link can't attach your account to someone else's device.

What it does

• A real terminal. Full SSH sessions, with a key bar for everything a phone keyboard buries: Esc, Tab, sticky Ctrl and Alt, ^C and ^D, arrows, Home/End and PgUp/PgDn. Adjustable font size.
• Your team's connections. Everything shared with your teams plus your personal vault, searchable, with favourites.
• Sessions that stay put. Open sessions are listed in their own tab, and the scrollback survives leaving the screen.
• Presence and live view. See which teammates are on which server, and watch a teammate's session read-only while you work a problem together.
• Reconnect in place. Phones change networks constantly. When a session drops, the app says so and reconnects the same host without losing the scrollback.
• Biometric lock. Lock the app behind your device's own biometrics, with the device passcode as the fallback.

Security

• Host keys are confirmed on first connect, then pinned. A changed key is refused outright — there is no "connect anyway".
• Nothing is backed up off the device. The linked identity lives in the phone's encrypted storage and is excluded from cloud backup, so it can't be restored onto another device.
• No analytics. The app ships no analytics or crash-reporting SDK.

The security model covers how the encryption works end to end.

Not in version 1

No SFTP, no port forwarding and no SOCKS proxy yet — use the desktop app for those. Workspaces don't show up on the phone either: a four-pane layout has nowhere to go on a phone screen.

Next steps

• Sharing & live view — how shared connections and spectating work.
• Personal cloud vault — your own hosts on every device.
