About Conduit: SSH, Mosh & SFTP
Conduit is a local-first SSH, Mosh, and SFTP client for iPhone.
It is built for people who need to reach real machines from a phone without creating an account, syncing credentials through a service, or paying a subscription just to open a shell.
Use Conduit to connect to your own servers, workstations, homelab machines, VPS instances, and development environments from a mobile terminal.
Features:
• SSH terminal sessions
• Password, private key, and hardware security key (FIDO2) authentication
• Hardware security key auth over NFC, tested with YubiKey
• SSH agent forwarding to reach further hosts from a machine you connect to
• Per-host tmux integration with auto attach/create, start directories, prefix key selection, action shortcuts, and scrollback mode.
• Experimental Mosh roaming for unreliable mobile networks
• SFTP file browsing and export
• Saved machine profiles with tags and search
• Local credential and trusted host key storage
• Trusted host key prompts and key management
• Optional app lock with device authentication
• Tabbed terminal workspace
• Mobile-friendly modifier, navigation, and function keys
• Fullscreen terminal mode
• Built-in terminal themes
With SSH agent forwarding, a host you connect to can use your key to authenticate onward to other machines, without copying private keys to the server. Forwarded hardware keys stay protected: every onward signature still requires your PIN and a physical tap.
Conduit does not require a Conduit account and does not use a Conduit sync service. Saved connection profiles, credentials, and trusted host keys are stored on your device using platform secure storage.
Conduit is free and open-source software licensed under the Apache License 2.0. Source code is available at github.com/gwitko/Conduit.
Mosh requires mosh-server on the remote host and reachable UDP ports. Predictive echo is marked as experimental.

About Conduit
From the team behind Psiphon — one of the world's most trusted tools for open internet access — Conduit lets you become part of the network itself. Run it free from your device, or upgrade to always-on hosted infrastructure powered by Psiphon's cloud. Either way, you're not just using a tool. You're helping keep the internet open for people who need it most.
Local Conduit — Free
Install Conduit, press the orb, and your device becomes a local station on Psiphon's encrypted network. It runs quietly in the background, routing encrypted traffic for Psiphon users in restricted regions, without ever touching your browsing history or message content. You control how much bandwidth each peer uses and how many connections your device supports. Your station, your rules.
Personal Pairing — Share Access with People You Trust
Personal Pairing lets you give friends and family a private, direct path through your station. Name your station, generate a link, and share it however you like — any app, any language you choose. The balance between personal and public connections is yours to set and adjust anytime in settings. On a hosted subscription, your Personal Station runs independently with up to 99 simultaneous personal connections — always on, no device required.
Hosted Conduit — Always On, Cloud-Powered
A Conduit subscription activates two dedicated cloud stations operated by Psiphon, running continuously with no impact on your battery or data. Your Hosted Conduit Station supports Psiphon's broader network, helping people bypass censorship and reach the open internet. Your Personal Station is private and shareable — a secure relay for the people in your life, ready the moment you share the link. Both spin up instantly when you subscribe.
Hosted Conduit is available for $9.99/month or $99/year. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be managed in your Google Play account settings.
Join the Movement
Censorship is getting more sophisticated. The tools that fight it need to be too — and they need people willing to run them. Psiphon has spent over a decade on the front lines of internet freedom, and Conduit is how you become part of that fight. Every station you run, every connection you support, makes the network harder to block and more reliable for someone trying to reach the open internet from the other side of a firewall.
Access to information is a human right. Conduit helps defend it.
