Sync your SSH client across every device for life (rootedssh.com)

Hey everyone!

I originally built this just so I could quickly SSH into my server from my iPhone without copying keys around and didn't want to pay for some overpriced apps. It turned into a full SSH client that keeps everything in sync across all my devices.

It’s end-to-end encrypted and intentionally not a subscription.

Curious how you’re managing SSH across devices today, and happy to chat in the comments.


The 'Lifetime Service' promise feels like a strategic red flag for a product that relies on hosted relay infrastructure. Unless this is strictly a P2P tool with zero coordination server dependency (which is difficult for cross-network SSH), the provider is essentially incurring a perpetual marginal cost for a one-time fee.

My question to the team: How do you plan to sustain the bandwidth and orchestration costs five years from now? Is there a self-hosted 'exit ramp' for users if the central coordination server goes dark?


I did my calculation and the cost is very low that even if you use for 20 years, I should be able to completely manage it.


Therefore, for this project, we may still need to be cautious about promising "lifetime service"
