Managing multiple Linux servers from your phone: batch commands & live resource monitoring

XuTerm — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 14:00:05 +0000

Managing your homelab or production Linux servers while away from your desktop is painful.

Most mobile SSH apps only let you connect to one host at a time. If you need to run a quick health check across 5 or 10 machines, you have to log into each server manually, repeat the same commands, and jump between tools to view CPU, memory, disk, Docker containers, logs and firewall status.

I built this workflow directly into XuTerm, a mobile SSH & Mosh client for Android.

With batch command execution, you select multiple hosts and run the same shell command on all of them in parallel. No copy-pasting across separate sessions.

The built-in live resource visualizer lets you inspect servers right inside the app:

CPU, memory, load average with trend graphs
Disk usage, processes, Docker containers
Network stats, firewall rules, crontab jobs and system logs

All of this lives in one mobile terminal environment, paired with SFTP file browser, trzsz resumeable transfers, tmux integration and TOTP manager.

No account required, no telemetry, no ads. SSH keys are protected locally with biometric encryption.

Great for quick on-call troubleshooting, homelab health checks, or whenever you only have your phone.

Tired of switching between separate mobile apps for SSH, SFTP, file transfers and server monitoring?

I built XuTerm, an all-in-one Android SSH/Mosh client built for sysadmins and homelab enthusiasts.
It includes tmux integration, trzsz resumable file transfer, batch command execution, live resource visualization, TOTP manager and handy DevOps utilities.

Privacy is core: no account required, zero ads, no in-app purchases, no telemetry. Private keys are protected with biometrics and local encryption.

Great for emergency troubleshooting, log checking and remote admin work when you only have your phone.
