Quick answer
Simple, powerful, open-source SSH client for Android
F-Droid repository metadata
ConnectBot is a secure shell client for Android that lets you connect to remote servers over a cryptographically secure link.
Use ConnectBot to manage SSH sessions from your phone or tablet, keep connections active while you switch apps, and work with the terminal tools you already use. It supports saved hosts, SSH public key authentication, port forwarding, terminal color schemes, custom fonts, and other settings for tailoring each connection.
The F-Droid build uses the open-source ConnectBot flavor. It includes the cryptography provider in the APK and does not depend on Google Play Services.

How to install
- Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
- Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
- Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
- If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
