Installation

Preparing for Installation

Before you begin, decide which devices you want to use AKR SecureShell on. Thanks to its cross-platform nature, you can set up access on both your Windows computer and your Apple devices at the same time.

Initial access via the browser

Open the app's official website in your favorite web browser on any device. This step doesn't require any large initial downloads and immediately takes you to the app's home screen.

Installation on Windows

For Windows users, you can choose to launch the application directly or create a dedicated desktop shortcut. The application is installed in your user directory, which eliminates the need to request system administrator privileges.

Installation on Apple iOS (iPhone & iPad)

On your iOS device, open the service in the Safari browser. Tap the share icon at the bottom of the screen, then select the "Add to Home Screen" option to install it without going through the App Store.

Setting Up the First Profile

Launch the app installed on your device and open the profile manager. Click the "Add" button to enter your server's IP address, the SSH port, and your login credentials or security keys.

Confirmation and First Click

Once the profile has been saved, it will appear in your centralized server list. All you need to do is click on the newly created profile to initiate your first instant and secure connection to your remote console.

Usage Guide

Getting Started with the Streamlined Interface

The AKR SecureShell 1.1.4 interface is designed to eliminate any visual distractions during your work sessions. On the left sidebar, you’ll find all your server profiles neatly organized. The main area is entirely dedicated to the responsive console, ensuring optimal readability for your command lines.

Creating and Managing Your Server Profiles

To add a new server, open the profile manager and enter the required information, such as the hostname, IP address, and security settings. You can assign specific labels or colors to each machine to better organize your test, pre-production, or production environments. Once saved, each server is instantly accessible with a single click.

Effective Use of the Console and Shortcuts

The AKR SecureShell console is designed for maximum responsiveness, allowing you to enter commands smoothly and without latency. All standard shell keyboard shortcuts (such as searching history or canceling processes) are natively supported. Take the time to familiarize yourself with these built-in shortcuts so you can navigate your Linux servers just as efficiently as you do on your local machines.

Optimizing Cross-Platform Synchronization

Since the app works in sync across Windows and Apple platforms, all your profile changes are reflected in real time. If you add a server from your Windows desktop, it will automatically appear on your iPhone or iPad. Just make sure your devices have an active network connection while making changes to ensure immediate synchronization.

Backing Up and Securing Your Login Information

We recommend that you regularly back up your configured profiles using the app's export option. This feature generates a file containing your login profiles in a highly secure manner. This way, you can restore your login credentials in just a few seconds if you switch devices or reinstall the app with complete peace of mind.

Tips

Quick one-click login

Double-click directly on a server's name in your sidebar to instantly start an SSH session without going through the edit menu.

Master Shell Shortcuts

Use standard keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl+C and Ctrl+D directly in the reactive console to manage your processes just as you would on a physical Linux terminal.

Organize your servers by color

Assign distinct color codes to your profiles in the manager so you can instantly tell whether you're connected to a production or development server.

Add the app to your iOS home screen

For the best experience on an iPhone, use Safari's "On Home Screen" option to open AKR SecureShell in full-screen mode, without the browser's address bar.

Use SSH keys instead of passwords

Set up SSH key authentication in your profiles to significantly enhance the security of access to your servers while speeding up the login process.

Export your configurations regularly

Be sure to export your server profiles before making any major changes to your operating system so that you never lose access.

Take advantage of the lack of admin privileges on Windows

If you're working on a locked-down company PC, launch the application directly from your user account to bypass the need for administrator privileges.

Optimize Your Bandwidth

Thanks to its optimized, ultra-lightweight interface, AKR SecureShell uses very little data, making it perfect for managing your machines over a shared connection.

If you encounter difficulties while using AKR SecureShell 1.1.4, this troubleshooting section is designed to provide you with quick and practical solutions. We’ve listed the most common issues related to connection, authentication, or display in the responsive console. Follow our simple instructions to resolve these issues and get your work environment back up and running.

Troubleshooting

⚠️ Unable to connect to the remote server

First, check that the IP address and port entered in your profile are correct. Also make sure your device has an active Internet connection and that the SSH service is running on the target server.

⚠️ The app won't launch on Windows

If the application won't start, check to make sure that no antivirus software or local firewall is blocking it from running. Since it doesn't require administrator privileges, try moving it to your personal documents folder and launching it from there.

⚠️ The app icon does not appear on the iOS home screen

Be sure to use only the Safari browser to complete the installation on your iPhone or iPad. The "Add to Home Screen" option is not available or may not work properly if you use a different browser.

⚠️ Keyboard shortcuts aren't working in the console

Make sure the console window has focus by clicking anywhere inside the input area. If focus is lost, keystrokes will be captured by the host operating system rather than by the SSH session.

⚠️ Synchronization between devices is not working

Make sure all your devices are signed in to the same account and have an active network connection. Sometimes, simply refreshing the app or restarting it can force the cached profiles to update.

⚠️ Authentication error during login

Double-check the username and password you entered in the profile manager. If you are using an SSH private key, make sure it is in the correct format and matches the public key authorized on the remote server.

⚠️ Misaligned display or strange characters in the console

This problem usually occurs when the remote server's encoding does not match that of AKR SecureShell. Make sure your Linux server is configured to use the standard UTF-8 encoding for optimal display.

⚠️ High latency when entering orders

Input latency is often caused by a poor network connection or a remote server that is overloaded. Try testing your connection on a different network or check the CPU usage on the target machine.

Although AKR SecureShell 1.1.4 is exceptionally lightweight and optimized to use minimal resources, it requires a few prerequisites to operate at its full potential.
