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 deploy AI coding agents from my iPhone?

Yes. Onepilot lets you SSH into any server and deploy AI agents like Claude Code or Codex directly from your iPhone. You can monitor their work in real-time from iOS and take over at any point.

What AI coding agents can I run from iPhone?

From your iPhone using Onepilot, you can deploy Claude Code (Anthropic), Codex (OpenAI), Aider, and custom agents. It works with 23+ LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral, Groq, and more.

How to Deploy AI Agents from Your iPhone in 2026

AI coding agents can read codebases, execute commands, edit files, run tests, and deploy code autonomously. Until recently, deploying them required a laptop. Not anymore.

What You Need

An iPhone with Onepilot installed
A server you can SSH into (any provider — AWS, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, your own hardware)
An API key for your preferred LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)

Step 1: Connect to Your Server

Open Onepilot and add your server. Enter the hostname, username, and authentication method. Your credentials are stored in iOS Keychain — hardware-encrypted and never leave your device.

Step 2: Choose Your Agent

Onepilot supports multiple AI agents:

Claude Code — Anthropic's coding agent. Strong at complex refactoring and architecture decisions.
Codex — OpenAI's open-source agent. Good at following precise instructions.
Custom agents — Bring your own setup.

Step 3: Deploy

Select your agent and deploy. Onepilot handles the setup on your server — installing dependencies, configuring the environment, and starting the agent.

Step 4: Give It a Task

Describe what you need in natural language:

"Fix the failing tests in the auth module"
"Set up Nginx with SSL for the staging domain"
"Refactor the API routes to use the new middleware pattern"
"Investigate why the database queries are slow and optimize them"

Step 5: Monitor and Intervene

Watch the agent work in real-time through the terminal view. You see every command it runs, every file it edits. If something looks wrong, take over — full terminal access means you can type a command at any point.

Real-World Use Cases

On-call at 2 AM: Get paged, deploy a debugging agent from bed. It reads logs, finds the root cause, and proposes a fix before you're fully awake.

Travel day: Push a critical feature from the airport. Deploy an agent to write the implementation, review the diff on your phone, merge and deploy.

Overnight tasks: Deploy an agent before bed to refactor a legacy module. Wake up to a clean PR with tests.
