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.

Can I run Claude Code on my iPhone?

Yes. Claude Code runs on a remote server, not on the phone itself. You use a mobile SSH app like Onepilot to connect to your server, deploy Claude Code, and interact with it through the terminal — all from your iPhone.

Do I need a Claude Code subscription to use it on mobile?

Yes. Claude Code requires an active Anthropic subscription (Max plan) or an API key. Onepilot handles the SSH connection and terminal — the Claude Code subscription is separate.

Claude Code on iPhone: How to Run It in 2026

Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool — it reads your codebase, runs commands, edits files, and commits code. It's built for the terminal. Which means you can run it from anywhere you have an SSH connection — including your iPhone.

What You Need

An iPhone with Onepilot installed (free)
A server with SSH access (any provider)
A Claude Code subscription (Anthropic Max plan) or API key

Step 1: Set Up Your Server

If Claude Code isn't installed on your server yet, SSH in from Onepilot and install it:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Authenticate with your Anthropic account or set your API key as an environment variable.

Step 2: Connect from Your iPhone

Open Onepilot, add your server (hostname, username, SSH key or password), and connect. You get a full VT100 terminal — Claude Code's interactive UI renders natively.

Step 3: Start Claude Code

Navigate to your project directory and run:

claude

Claude Code launches in interactive mode. You see the same interface as on a desktop terminal — file diffs, command execution, tool calls — all rendered on your phone screen.

Step 4: Give It a Task

Type your task in natural language:

"Fix the failing CI tests in the payments module"
"Add rate limiting to the API endpoints"
"Refactor the database queries to use connection pooling"

Claude Code reads the relevant files, proposes changes, and executes them after your approval.

Tips for iPhone

Use headless mode for long tasks — claude -p "your task here" runs without interactive prompts
Pair with tmux or screen — detach the session, close the app, reconnect later to check progress
Start big tasks before idle time — commute, lunch, overnight — let the agent work while you're away

Why Not Just Use a Laptop?

You absolutely can. But laptops aren't always available. Claude Code on mobile isn't about replacing your desk setup — it's about never being blocked. Incident at 2 AM, idea on the train, quick fix between meetings. Your phone is always there.
