Why ZestSSH?

The SSH client landscape needed a fresh start.

JuiceSSH is gone

Removed from the Play Store in December 2025, leaving 3.9 million users stranded. ZestSSH is the modern replacement Android users have been waiting for.

Termius costs $120/year

For features that should be a one-time purchase. ZestSSH Pro costs $9.99 total. That's one month of Termius for a lifetime of ZestSSH.

ConnectBot is barely maintained

Sparse updates, outdated UI, missing features. ConnectBot served us well, but it's time for something modern.

PuTTY is stuck in 1999

No sync, separate tools for SFTP (WinSCP) and key management (Pageant), no mobile. ZestSSH replaces all three in one app across every platform.
