About Thumbdesk

Thumbdesk, listed elsewhere as PocketShell, gives developers and administrators phone access to their computers and servers. A small agent is installed on macOS, Windows or Linux with one command, then paired by scanning a QR code, and any SSH server can be added too. Connections are outbound only and terminal traffic is encrypted end to end over WebRTC, so no port forwarding or VPN is needed. Terminal sessions persist on the host, so a dropped signal does not end the shell. The app also offers screen sharing, file transfer, project views with git and live CPU and memory stats. It is free for two machines, while Pro covers ten machines for 39.99 USD a year.
