Frequently asked questions
What does "agentless" mean?
Termetry never installs anything on your servers. It connects over plain SSH — the same access you already use — and reads standard system interfaces (like /proc) to gather metrics. No agents, no daemons, no packages, no configuration changes on the server side. If you can SSH into a Linux box, Termetry can monitor it.
What data leaves my device?
Nothing. Termetry is local-first: your server metrics, history, logs, hostnames, and credentials are stored only on your device. There is no Termetry backend, no analytics, and no telemetry. The app's network connections go directly from your device to your servers over SSH.
See the full privacy policy for details.
How are my SSH keys and passwords stored?
All credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain, encrypted by the operating system and protected by your device passcode/Face ID. Termetry can also generate a P-256 key directly inside your device's Secure Enclave — a hardware security chip. Secure Enclave keys are non-exportable: they physically cannot be copied off your device, not even by Termetry itself. You just add the public key to your server's authorized_keys.
What are the free tier limits?
The free tier includes up to 3 servers with the full live dashboard (every metric — viewing stats is never paywalled), 24 hours of metric history, the SSH terminal, the logs viewer, and ping/traceroute. Pro removes the server limit and unlocks full history retention, available as a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.
Which servers can I monitor?
Any Linux server reachable over SSH — cloud VMs, VPSes, Raspberry Pis, and homelab machines. Authentication works with passwords, imported or generated Ed25519/RSA keys, or Secure Enclave keys.
Why does the connection drop when I switch apps?
iOS suspends network connections when an app goes to the background — that's the operating system, not a bug. Termetry reconnects automatically and quickly when you come back, so it should feel seamless. Historical charts note any gaps honestly: history accumulates while the app is polling.
