Panic Button - SSH Runner

One-tap SSH commands for your Linux servers. Dashboard of panic buttons.

Panic Button turns your phone into a remote control for your Linux servers.

Set up SSH connections to your servers, then create one-tap action tiles for any bash command. Restart services, check disk space, deploy code, clear caches — all with a single tap.

FEATURES

• One-Tap Execution: Tap a tile and the command runs instantly over SSH. Yellow flash = executing, green = success, red = failed.

• Dashboard of Tiles: Build your own grid of action buttons. Pick from 40+ command templates or write custom bash commands.

• Real-Time Output: See stdout, stderr, and exit codes in a slide-up panel after each command.

• Command Templates: Pre-built templates across 8 categories — System, Services, Docker, Networking, Disk, Security, Updates, and Performance.

• Multiple Servers: Connect to as many Linux machines as you need (Pro). Works with any server running SSH — Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, CentOS, Raspberry Pi.

• Secure by Design: SSH credentials are stored in the Android Keystore with hardware-backed encryption. No data leaves your device except the SSH connection to your server. Zero analytics, zero telemetry, zero tracking.

• No Agents Required: Uses standard SSH — no software to install on your servers. If you can SSH in from a terminal, Panic Button can too.

• Dark Mode: Purpose-built dark interface designed for quick glances and low-light use.

• Confirmation Guards: Flag dangerous commands (reboot, rm, etc.) to require a confirmation tap before execution.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Add your server (IP, port, username, password or SSH key)
2. Create buttons mapped to bash commands
3. Tap to execute — see results instantly

PERFECT FOR

• Sysadmins managing remote Linux servers
• Homelab enthusiasts (Proxmox, TrueNAS, Docker hosts, Raspberry Pi)
• DevOps engineers who need quick server actions on the go
• Anyone tired of opening a terminal app to run the same commands

FREE vs PRO

Pro ($4.99 one-time): Unlimited servers and buttons. No subscriptions.

REQUIREMENTS

• A Linux server with SSH enabled
