Onepilot is a mobile-first agentic IDE for iPhone. It lets you SSH into any remote server, deploy and manage AI agents, browse files, manage git repos, and schedule cron jobs — all from your pocket.

What kind of servers can I connect to?

Pretty much anything you can SSH into. Your personal computer, a cloud server on AWS or Hetzner, a Raspberry Pi in your closet, a Docker container, your company's jump host — it all works. Just enter your credentials and you're in.

How does Onepilot connect to my server?

Onepilot connects via SSH with support for password and key-based authentication. Simply add your server credentials, and you get a full terminal, file browser, and agent deployment — all through a native iOS interface.

What AI agents can I deploy with Onepilot?

Onepilot supports multiple agent frameworks, with an agent-agnostic architecture designed to work with any terminal-based agent. You can deploy agents with customizable personalities, connect them to 23+ LLM providers, and control them via Telegram, Discord, or Slack.

Yes — everything you need is free to get started. You bring your own servers and API keys, so there are no hosting fees or hidden costs.

What LLM providers are supported?

Onepilot supports 23+ LLM providers including Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI, Google Gemini, Mistral, Groq, DeepSeek, xAI, Perplexity, Ollama, and many more. You can also add custom providers.

How is Onepilot different from Termius or Blink Shell?

While Termius and Blink are SSH clients, Onepilot is an agentic IDE. Beyond terminal access, it provides AI agent deployment and management, a soul designer for agent personalities, cron job scheduling, git integration, and a file browser — all designed for the AI-native developer workflow.

Is my server data secure?

Yes. All credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain and never transmitted to any third party. SSH connections are end-to-end encrypted. Agent API keys are stored locally on your device and deployed directly to your servers.

Can I run AI coding agents from my iPhone?

Yes. Onepilot lets you deploy and manage AI coding agents directly from your iPhone. Set up an agent on your remote server through a guided wizard, pick your LLM provider and messaging channel, and your agent is live — all without touching a laptop.

Does Onepilot work with AWS, Hetzner, or DigitalOcean?

Yes. Onepilot works with any server you can SSH into — AWS EC2, Hetzner Cloud, DigitalOcean Droplets, Google Cloud VMs, Linode, Vultr, Oracle Cloud, Raspberry Pi, home lab machines, Docker containers, and more.

Can I use Onepilot as a mobile IDE?

Yes. Onepilot is a full mobile IDE with a real terminal, file browser with syntax highlighting for 20+ languages, git integration (diffs, commits, branches), cron job management, and AI agent deployment. It goes well beyond a basic SSH client.

How do I deploy an AI agent on a remote server?

Open Onepilot, connect to your server via SSH, then tap Deploy Agent. A step-by-step wizard guides you through choosing your agent framework, LLM provider, API keys, and messaging channels. Your agent is deployed and running in minutes.

What is the best mobile SSH client for developers in 2026?

For developers who want more than just a terminal, Onepilot is the most capable option. Unlike Termius or Blink Shell which focus on SSH access, Onepilot combines a full terminal with AI agent deployment, file browsing, git tools, and cron management — purpose-built for the AI-native developer workflow.

What is the best AI coding agent for iPhone in 2026?

Claude Code is the most capable all-around agent for complex tasks. Codex CLI is best for precise, scoped work. Aider is great for iterative pair programming. All three can be deployed from your iPhone using Onepilot for iOS.

Can I use free AI coding agents on my iPhone?

Yes. Codex CLI is open-source and works with various LLM providers, including affordable ones like Groq and Mistral. Aider is also open-source. Deploy them to your server from your iPhone using Onepilot and use budget-friendly API keys.

Best AI Coding Agents for iPhone in 2026

A year ago, AI coding agents were experiments. In 2026, they're daily tools. Here are the agents worth deploying from your phone — and what each one does best.

1. Claude Code (Anthropic)

The most capable general-purpose agent. Claude Code reads entire codebases, plans multi-step changes, and executes with minimal hand-holding.

Best for: Large refactors, architecture decisions, complex debugging, multi-file changes.

Pricing: Anthropic Max subscription or API key.

Mobile experience: Rich terminal UI renders well on Onepilot. Interactive approval flow works smoothly on touch.

2. Codex CLI (OpenAI)

Open-source, sandboxed by default, and precise. Codex follows instructions literally — tell it exactly what to build and it builds it.

Best for: Writing functions to spec, test generation, infrastructure scripts, quick targeted fixes.

Pricing: Pay-per-use via OpenAI API.

Mobile experience: Lightweight output, fast execution. Great for quick tasks from your phone.

3. Aider

The pair programmer. Aider works interactively — it proposes changes, you approve or redirect, it adjusts. Best for iterative development where you want tight control.

Best for: Feature development with ongoing direction, code review assistance, learning a new codebase.

Pricing: Open-source. Bring your own API key (supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and many others).

Mobile experience: Conversational flow works well on mobile — short prompts, quick responses.

4. SWE-agent

Built by Princeton researchers for autonomous bug fixing. Given a GitHub issue, SWE-agent reproduces the bug, finds the root cause, and generates a patch.

Best for: Bug triage, issue resolution, automated patching.

Pricing: Open-source. Bring your own API key.

Mobile experience: Set-and-forget workflow — deploy it and check back later.

5. Custom Agents

Any terminal-based tool can be deployed from Onepilot. Build your own with LangChain, CrewAI, or raw API calls. If it runs in a shell, you can run it from your phone.

Choosing the Right Agent

Task	Best Agent
Complex refactoring	Claude Code
Quick, precise fix	Codex CLI
Iterative feature dev	Aider
Bug triage from issues	SWE-agent
Custom automation	Your own agent

Deploy Any of Them from Your iPhone

Onepilot works with all terminal-based agents. SSH into your server, install the agent, and run it. The app handles the connection — the agent handles the code.
