Frequently Asked Questions
Is SSHive really free?
Yes. The free version includes the SSH terminal, the SFTP file manager (uploads up to 10 MB), 2 simultaneous sessions, 5 saved profiles, 1 local SSH tunnel, and the OTP authenticator (3 tokens, macOS only). No account, no trial, no time limit.
What do I get with Pro?
Pro unlocks unlimited sessions and profiles, RDP, VNC, remote tunnels (-R), jump hosts, shared accounts, export and import, session logging and every theme. On the Mac it adds SOCKS5 (-D) tunnels, broadcast mode and the MCP server; on iPhone and iPad, the VPN client. It's a one-time purchase on the App Store.
Can I upgrade later?
Absolutely. Start with the free version and upgrade to Pro anytime from the App Store. Your profiles and settings carry over seamlessly.
Is there a subscription?
No. SSHive Pro is a one-time purchase of $12.99: you pay once, the version you bought stays yours, and updates are included for as long as the app is maintained. No annual renewal, no licence that expires, no feature that closes up because a payment stopped. It is also a Universal Purchase: the same purchase covers Mac, iPhone and iPad on your Apple ID.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no SSHive account, no sign-up, no password to remember and no server of ours holding anything. The app works offline. On the Mac, your credentials are encrypted with a key kept in the macOS Keychain; on iPhone and iPad they stay in the iOS Keychain, behind Face ID or Touch ID when biometric protection is on. The Pro purchase is handled by the App Store under your Apple ID; we never see your name or your payment method.
After updating, the app says I am back on Free. What do I do?
A small number of users see this happen the first time the app launches after an update, because the StoreKit receipt has not been refreshed yet. The fix is one tap: open Settings, Subscription / Purchases, and tap "Restore Purchases". Pro comes right back, and it does not cost anything (you are not buying it a second time, Apple is simply re-confirming your previous purchase). A permanent fix is on the roadmap so the restore is no longer needed. If restoring does not bring Pro back, email contact@netmesafe.com with your App Store country and we will check on our side.
