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.

Is there a Cursor app for iPhone?

No. Cursor is a desktop-only IDE (macOS, Windows, Linux). But you can get the same AI-powered coding experience on iPhone by deploying terminal-based agents like Claude Code or Codex through Onepilot. The AI capabilities are equivalent — the interface is a terminal instead of a GUI editor.

What is the best Cursor alternative for iOS?

Onepilot is the closest iOS equivalent to Cursor. While Cursor gives you AI in a desktop editor, Onepilot gives you AI agents in a mobile terminal — deploy Claude Code or Codex to any server, monitor their work, and review changes. The AI does the same work; the interface fits your phone.

Run Cursor-Level AI from Your iPhone in 2026

Cursor changed how developers write code — AI-powered editing, inline completions, codebase-aware chat. But it's desktop-only. When you're away from your laptop, you're locked out. Here's how to get the same capability on iOS.

Why Cursor Doesn't Work on iPhone

Cursor is a fork of VS Code — an Electron desktop app. It needs a full OS, keyboard, and display to function. There's no mobile version and no plans for one. The IDE paradigm doesn't translate to a 6-inch screen.

The Terminal Approach

But the AI behind Cursor translates perfectly. Tools like Claude Code and Codex CLI provide the same agentic coding capabilities in a terminal. They can:

Read your entire codebase for context
Edit files across your project
Run commands and tests
Commit and push code
Debug complex issues autonomously

The difference: instead of AI embedded in an editor, the AI is the editor. It works through the terminal, which works on any screen size.

The Setup

Install Onepilot on your iPhone (free)
SSH into your dev server
Deploy Claude Code or Codex
Give it tasks just like you would in Cursor's chat — but with full autonomous execution

What You Actually Gain Over Cursor

Surprising twist: terminal agents can do things Cursor can't.

Full server access — run builds, restart services, modify infrastructure
Autonomous execution — the agent works without waiting for approval at each step
Remote-first — the agent runs where the code lives, not on your local machine
Cross-project — connect to any server and work on any codebase

What You Give Up

Honesty matters. You lose:

Inline completions — no tab-complete-as-you-type on mobile
Visual diff editor — you read diffs in terminal format, not side-by-side
GUI file tree — though Onepilot has its own file browser

The tradeoff is worth it for supervision and async workflows. Not for writing code character-by-character.

The Workflow

Don't think "Cursor on my phone." Think "my phone as a command center for AI agents." Deploy tasks, check in on progress, review results, merge code. The AI writes; you direct.

Try Onepilot — free to get started. It's the closest thing to Cursor-level AI on iOS.
