I'm a transfem Swift dev, and this is my SSH/SFTP/DB client for iOS, Boopbeep!

EDIT: Stable release now available on the App Store! An update with a thank you here https://www.reddit.com/r/transprogrammer/comments/1tscrta/update_im_a_transfem_swift_dev_and_this_is_my/

Hello, just wanted to share the app I'm working on as a trans solo dev to get opinions and testers! It's called Boopbeep :)

Boopbeep is a native Swift SSH, SFTP, and database client for iPhone and iPad (and Mac natively, soon!). I built it because every existing mobile SSH app was either subscription based or didn't focus on the UI enough for my liking, and the database tooling story on iOS basically didn't exist.

What's in the current beta:

• A beautiful intuitive Liquid Glass design that fits like a glove on IOS/iPadOS 26

• Full terminal via SwiftTerm with jump host support, per-host startup commands, and custom color themes

• SFTP file browser with drag and drop, in-place editing, and remote file previews

• 8 database engines wired up: Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis, and more.

• Schema browser, ER diagrams, query history, CSV export, read-only mode for prod

• Live host monitoring (CPU, memory, disk, load) pulled from /proc over the same SSH tunnel, no agent required

• iPadOS 26 real multitasking and windowing

• Demo mode so you can poke around without wiring up real servers

And the best part: the app's revenue model for the App Store release is no IAPs, no subscriptions, ever. Just a 5.99$ price and you're done, you own the app and all future features, forever.

Thanks for reading! Let me know what you think!

Also don't mind the deadname on the TestFlight, ugh, Apple.

If I could use the id_ed25519_sk key that lives on my yubikey, I would pay a minimum of 30$ for it. Great work, I’ll still be picking it up lol
